Playoff Thoughts
Nice post from Kevin Pelton at 82games:

The Sports Mysoginist manages to write 3000 words on the NBA with only two unnecesary WNBA cheap shots (though he does also manage a gratuitous KG dig...)
Lengthy essay from the good folks at Free Darko on Bron-Bron's layup. I gotta say, when I watched it it looked to me more like a great player getting it done than the D brain freezing. Amazing play.
Okay, gotta go set the Tivo for tonight's episode of the Best First Round Ever. Hope all of you are doing well...

Interesting articles. On the LeBron phenom, I agree with the Free Darko author in that LeBron seems to have some of that crybaby sense of entitlement.
Is it his fault though?
When I saw him at Wolves-Cavs this year, I was struck by it. It bugged me, but I immediately felt guilty as he was money for Hello Shooters this year.
I'm not surprised he's copped the attitude because he's so young, and the way a hush fell over the place everywhere he went, he was like the biggest rockstar anywhere. If that's how people treat you, I guess you might ask for a few calls (or all of them).
But when I watch hoops I definitely fall into the camp of liking players who fit with my personality, rather than for skills. It's why I hate Kobe, and it's why I was kinda pulling for the Wiz vs. the Cavs...though I like that everyone on Cleveland has a beard now, LeBron sometimes rubs me the wrong way. I found I'm more of an Arenas guy. He is as cool as they come (but can't hit clutch free throws apparently.)

That Cavs / Wiz series was awesome. Best argument yet that the NBA should keep trying to stop letting teams play defense...
BronBron is going to be a fascinating guy to watch, to see if he's got the mindset to become as dominant as he clearly has the talent to be.

Nice washington-riffic rants over at Wizznutzz...particularly the expose of Clevand's success.
