I'll say that this year's playoffs will be a GREAT learning experience for Lebron. Not saying they will be knocked out first round, but this will teach him a bit about the mentality and the toughness needed for the playoffs.

LeBron passed up on the shot again. His unselfishness is admirable and Hughes was open but I thought LeBron should've taken it himself, deep in the paint as he was.

I don't think it has anything to do with his "unselfishness" he just couldn't handle the pressure. I mean, MJ will certainly not pass that up, neither will Vince, or Kobe, or Mac, or Wade.

I think they are either playing the Wizs or Indy, they should win if their streak is a good one

Agreed, he doesn't have the same kind of mentality but I still think that unselfishness is part of it. The desire to take the final shot is part of the competitive spirit that is perhaps a bit selfish, but not necessarily in a bad way.

The cavs took a cruiser game against a shitty team. They came out with the mentality of..."hey it's the knicks..and lets not risk injury." It all started with Lebron's lackluster player in the first half. Dumb move on their part...but oh well.

Im sure he would shoot the shot if he felt it was right. But maybe he just thinks that they have a better chance of getting the shot if he drives and draws 3 or 4 or 5 players and finding the open man....
