LeBrON-STOPPABLE


I'm getting ANGRY. You don't want to see me when I'm ANGRRYY!!!!"

So much for questioning LeBron's ability to take over games!

Without question this was the best game of his career, as Cleveland edged Detroit 109-107 in a 2OT win @Auburn Hills. LeBron's line: 48 Points on 18 for 33, 9 Rebounds, 7 Assists, and 2 Steals.

Honestly he looks like a football player running around on a basketball court. Only, holding a basketball and following all the rules of the game of basketball, including all the tricky ones (drawing fouls, executing good hop steps). Guy does not play the game with finesse, does not have the great basketball IQ yet, nor is he graceful, like Maravich, MJ or Magic. But his unstoppability is unlike any player you, me, or Charles Barkley has ever seen. He's probably not human, since as far as I could tell he transformed into the Hulk tonight.

Early in the game Anderson Varejao drove into the lane and got flagrantry fouled by Antonio McDyess and sent hard to the deck. LeBron went bananas, getting all up in the turmoil on the court. Oh by the way, after that he scored 29 of the team's last 30 points. So how do you stop a freight train that barrels through like a jungle cat? Who knows. But tonight Detroit tried the "watch as he jams three straight exploding-off-the-dribble-and-crashing-into-the-hoop dunks in your whole team's (and city's) face" technique. As you can guess it didn't work out that good. Next Stop: Game 6 in Cleveland.

With the Red Wings eliminated, Detroit is looking to the Pistons for hope. Oh what's the matter, an underdog team getting the best of you? *COUGH*miamichicago*COUGH*goldenstatedallas*COUGH*2003-04finalslakerspistons*WHEEZE*
