Lebron to the Mavs - Dallas Fans Are Doin It Up!

So with Lebron being the hottest FA in the history of the NBA, it was only a matter of time when the fans of certain cities take things to another level. Point in case, the fans of the Dallas Mavericks. They started a website, twitter and facebook page to endorse their case for why Lebron James needs to reach Dallas. On top of it all, they have made a really catchy tune that you can find on their website singing why he should come to Dallas, "we have no income tax so you can just relax..." i likey....

I love seeing stuff like this, hopefully someone who reads our blog or maybe even us (hmmmm) can do something for CB4!!

check out the site, lebrontothemavs.com and on there you will be able to hear the song and check out the tweets, and their facebook page.

Nice work Dallas....

Amare - what's wrong with you guy....seriously. Why?

Just reading espn.com and rotoworld, and stumbled upon this goodie. According to both sites Amare after practice shot his mouth, and sounded like a 15 year old in the process.

The news bit reads as such:
"Amare Stoudemire said on Tuesday that Lamar Odom's 19 points and 19 boards on Monday were a result of luck.

"I'm not giving him no hype right now; he had a lucky game in Game 1," Stoudemire said of Odom. Alvin Gentry said Stoudemire's comments were "ridiculous," while Odom didn't take the 'war of words' bait. "So be it," Odom said. "Hopefully I can have another lucky one."

This was obviously a poor decision by Amare and his teammates have probably let him have it. And if they haven't, this series is probably over.
Source: ESPN.com "

That last paragraph pretty much sums my thoughts on the outcome of this series. I had told Sunder prior to game 1 that this can possibly be a sweep. I feel a little more confident in my prediction knowing what kind of a squad LAL can be when things get a little personal. Ask JR Smith about last season during the playoffs as to what happened to him and his Nuggets squad..... Anyhow Amare being some what of a seasoned vet in this league should no a little better, and what he's essentially done is turn the focus of this series on him.

If buddy doesn't put up a nice 30/18 line in game 2 + a win, he's gonna never hear the end of it. The Suns seem like a close squad and crew, Amare is the recipient of a lot of those Nash dimes. So what I'm thinking is the following:

Nash is having a heart to heart with Amare right now and is like, "dog, what the hell man, why'd you have to run your mouth?" Amare responds with, "steve give me the rock bro, just feed me all game, ill prove everyone wrong. Ill show the world...."

Steve Nash being a good team mate, friend and a boy of Amare's will be like...."Aiiight, homie, aigghht."

So Amare will come out with a head of steam and play right into a game plan devised by Phil and Kobe, get like 3 quick fouls early on and the Lakers will attack the Suns much like they did in game 1, all the meanwhile they'll be f'n with Amare from start to finish. They'll play the Suns like a puppet, and before you know it the Lakers will be up by 20 and the game is finito.

Lamar had a solid game and jus cause your team and yourself played like doo doo, giving up 128 pts in a playoff game (which you can never ever do if you wanna be considered one of the top teams in the L), you gotta make a dumb ass comment like the one above? Dude WTF!? If you were seeking attention then congrats you got it. If you wanted to jus f**k with Lamar, well you have another thing coming bro. The Lakers, do this for a living (win chips that is). Kerr is most likely gonna give it to him and his team mates right now going into game 2 are probably f'n pissed with the dude. Like you've alienated yourself in the locker room, just like that pic buddy, take a close look at the pic for this post. That'll be you at the 1/2 of game 2.....

Sabotage!?! Probably not.
Dumbassness!?! Probably.

Steve Nash, my Canadian Brother, goodluck.

Oh yah, Amare you just earned the Big Kev (@_bigkev_) foo of the week award for that comment.....foo.

Lebron James - you thought we wouldn't say anything else...

I just flew in from NY yesterday and while I was there I checked out ESPN non stop, hit up the NBA store and perused the assortment of NBA/Basketball specific magazines to New York City. Even though the playoffs are heating up and things are getting crazy, the only thing on the mind of New Yorkers is, Lebron James.

Seems to me they are totally convinced he's coming over to sign that max deal, like tomorrow. I had called the Cavs dismantling in the 2nd round or the Eastern Conference Finals this season, from time kids. Sunder highlighted what and why they lost and you really can't argue with his points at all. Now based on Lebron and his 1 man circus antics for the past 7 seasons, does it make a difference if he actually does go to the horrendous Knicks? I mean Melo, has Billups, KD & co are a young squad that need perhaps a veteran to help lead them over the proverbial 'hump'. Wade like Lebron has been a one man show for quite a bit and has had no success in the post season as has our very own CB4. Wade however won a chip when he was paired up with a formidable Shaq a few years back, when the big diesel still had a 1/2 litre in the tank.

So what I'm trying to get at, these guys need to defer at times to a 'General', a veteran presence who's been there and done that to seek success. Guys who at times were the "Man" but are aging and are willing to take the 2nd seat in order to achieve greater success are perhaps necessary to win it all in the greatest league in the world. Look at Orlando, its no doubt there who the man is, but when you have guys like Lewis and VC who have been the "man" for the better parts of their career content on droppin 12ppg or the occasional 25ppg when duty calls, your squad will be pretty hard to beat. It however takes a certain type of attitude adjustment for a superstar to defer at times to another guy for the greater good of the team. Knowing the spotlight will not always be on you at times......ego....

I am not saying that the only way to win a chip is in this manor (but LAL has Gasol, the C's have KG/Ray Ray and Pierce) but its a pretty decent formula. Sure the Cavs have or had Jamison on the squad, but he came 1/2 way thru the season and has never really been the "man", more of a great, great sf/pf who can be a decent piece on a squad.

With all this being said, I don't think a move to the Knicks is that far fetched at all. Seriously, considering Lebron's intentions career and fame wise, does it really matter if the Knicks are really very far off from signing this guy and have a long way to go to achieve success. A lot of my boys and peeps in general think that Bron will stay in Cleavland cause there "almost there". Well I personally don't know what to think about the entire situation, since its Lebron. This guy has proven time and time again he's not the brightest light in the lamp and would rather become a conglomerate then a NBA chip winner.

He obviously does want to win but there is a huge difference between a guy like Kobe and Lebron. The argument "who's better" I don't think is an argument until the guy actually wins something besides all star votes and popularity contests. He is an icon already and can really take it to another level in NY, I am sure of it. If I'm 25 years old, at the prime of my career and am simply Lebron James, then I'm going to the place where the street lights will inspire you.....

His one man show antics will make any team automatically a playoff contender each season but, the guy needs to somehow find that balance as his peers who have had success have done it. The Knicks and Lebron are perhaps the identical entity if you really think about what both are about.....(....messsssssage !!! A la, don't be a menace lol)
