The league, the media, and most of the fans want a LeBron vs. Kobe NBA Finals. Think about it, they've been running those VitaminWater & Nike ads with the both of em well over a month now. Tony Kornheiser said it great today, NFL is a helmet league, NBA is a face league. And Stern wants his 2 biggest faces in the big dance for TV ratings.

With that said, I think Denver vs. Cleveland WOULD be a better Finals and would be very competitive. Count me as 1 of the few who would prefer it.

You had me right up to the point you had King James in but not Bean.

No surprise I suppose.

Melo and Howard will have something to say before either reaches the finals.

Personally I'd rather see Magic/Nuggets if Kobe or KJ isn't there.

i wonder when the NBA would stop focusing on ONLY their big market teams and try to improve the overall quality of the game. I see why it's a face league, but if a team is good and playing good basketball, people would watch. people would also watch if the games are good. i could care less who's playing. i don't even care if it's oklahoma city vs. washington, if the game is good to me, i'll watch. i'm sure plenty of other people would watch if they hear/see if it's a good series.

seeing that, idk why the league is shying away from lebron/carmello. so many storylines with that one (#1 vs. #3 overall, carmello trying to be in the conversation with lebron/wade/kobe, etc...) i'm kinda surprised the NBA didn't try to develop a rivalry b/w the 2. that's something i would want to see personally

I want Kobe Lebron and want Kobe to steamroll em... Not sure if it could happen but i would love it if it would.

I love lebron and kobe but its crazy to hear Kobe as an underdog. Whoever becomes the underdog between the two I'll root for.

I'm a memphis fan so if they aren't in it (which the never are) I'm down for a great series.

NBA's worst nightmare.

if the series is good, people will watch. if it's 7 close, tightly contested, game-winning shot games, people will watch in droves. It's not San Antonio-Detroit, so i'd imagine the league could live with that. and i will most certainly watch. I'd perfer this compared to 6 blowouts, like i think kobe v. lebron would be

      C Mays / LT Christensen LT vs C Christensen / LT Ekwonu

      I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today.

      Canalas Sucks

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
