Sometimes I wish I could enjoy watching LeBron. I really do.

I've always seen him as a villain. Can't help it. Never liked how his teams play. He seems to be a nice guy off the court. I couldn't really explain it to you.

I feel the same he's not likable!

Agree with both you guys.

Hard to like a player who whines and female dogs it all the time while at the same time being so physically dominant and skilled.

Add to that lovable combo of traits: The Decision and a guy having himself tatted with "THE CHOSEN ONE" fully across the top of his back, and it's hard to like him.

Did you see the difference between Bucks and our offense? Open men are driving to the rim for more efficient shots instead of chucking 3s!

The Bucks are also 53% on 3s. When you those 3s the court opens up and when you miss they don't.

Well, I'd say that pretty much seals George being traded this offseason. How our series ends and the lottery will determine if he comes here or not.

There's no way I would be okay with trading a top 5 pick for one year of George.

Too risky.

Still can't help feeling that if his game were different I could like him despite all those things.  That and his on-court demeanor.

I think it's safe to say tonight is the night the Pacers lost Paul George.

I truly don't understand what Bird has been thinking the last few years.

Yeah, Ive always hated Lebron, but when GSW signed Durant I thought I could root for Lebron and I tried to, but I just cant do it.

I hate the guy.

That said, I really dont want anyone in the East to beat him. I want Boston to be the beginning and the end for Lebron. The last team to beat him in the East, the one that forced him to Miami and then the one that ends his reign of the East.

I am amazed at the Bucks shooting over 50% from 2 and 3 and Raptors shooting in the low 20s in both. The raptors are also getting killed on the glass. I thought this would be a better series...

Through 3 quarters, the Raptors have only 46 points...  :o

Well to be fair I'd want to be down 2-1, not 2-0  :P

I hear ya, but....

I'm rooting for anybody to beat Bron Bron and the Dub(e)s.

If they play each other, i don't give a *#@*...I'm not watching.

Weird, I can''t root for anyone but the Green. I can root against teams, but not for any.

Sounds stupid, I know, but that's how I'm wired.

Raptors went all in this year. If this series holds up they have a lot of questions this summer.
