lose LeBron, it will be many, MANY years before they are back & better than before. I don't think that they had ever achieved any "over 55-win" seasons before LeBron got there. I hope that he stays in Cleveland for another few years...the ownership has done a good job trying to surround him with good players. My opinion is that he doesn't want it bad enough -- not like Garnett & the Celtics did, not like Dwight Howard & the Magic did and definitely not like the entire Laker team seems to.

And I was so looking forward to a Shaq-Kobe championship series...hopefully the Celtics-Lakers series will be as entertaining as the one a coupla years ago -- that is if the Celtics get past the Magic & the Lakers get past the Suns.

Cheer up, Shoop...you've got the TRIBE!!
