Watch The Full Highlights of lebron James NBA MVP vs Atlanta Hawk in Game 1 CLEVELAND(AP) Alone under his basket, lebron James braced himself for Atlanta’s onslaught. As two Hawks swooped down on a fast break, James held his ground, stepped in front of Joe Johnson and took the charge. The only play. The smart play. A game-changing play. MVP. Indeed. James dunked the first time he touched the ball and scored 34 points – 22 in the first half – as the Cavaliers, who waited nine days between playoff games after a first-round sweep, shook off some early rust and pulled away for a 99-72 win over the Hawks in their Eastern Conference semifinal opener on Tuesday. Showing why he was voted the league’s best player in a landslide, James added 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the top-seeded Cavs won their fifth straight lopsided game in a postseason that has so far mirrored the best regular season in franchise history. James stuffed the stat sheet again, but it was his defensive stop on Johnson in the third quarter that meant as much as anything. “An MVP taking a charge on the break?” Cavs guard Mo Williams said. “That’s amazing. You get that effort from him, how could I not take a charge? The whole night was about him and he came out and showed why he is the MVP – in the first quarter.” The Cavs weren’t sure how the layoff would affect them. “It was unbelievable how sharp we were,” James said. “We just picked up where we left off.” Williams added 21 points for …

I usually love the parts when the TV networks allow us to hear what players & coaches are saying before/during games by miking them up(the “phoniness” as Sir Charles puts it can be debated). Here is tnt’s Inside the nba’s “Best of” for the 2008 NBA Playoffs.

This is MY top ten, so it’s basically all opinion here. And on a side note, Sundiata Gaines GW vs Cleveland, and Paul Pierce’s dunk on Chris Bosh count as “Honorable Mentions”. NOTE: All video copyright of the NBA

chibullsnetwork.co.cc *NEW! Talk Bulls Basketball! sign up today!* This, to me, is reminiscent of nothing so much as last years debate between Deron Williams and Chris Paul. Rose was performing pretty impressively for a 20 year-old rookie throughout the season and the playoffs. Rajon Rondo who nearly averaged a triple double throughout the playoffs is also a young gifted point guard. But playing with 3 superstars will help tremendously. I am not taking anything from Rondo, who is a great perimeter defender and has a great feel of the game around the basket. But in my opinion Rose will come out on top, remember Rose was just a rookie last year, imagine him in a few years. Who do you think is better? Derrick Rose or Rajon Rondo? During this mix i tried to keep both Drose highlights eqaul to Rajon Rondo highlights. In this mix Derrick Rose highlights in this video is about 2 min. and 8 seconds. As for Rondo there was about 1 minute and 56 seconds. So just about the same amount of time showcasing two great upcoming superstars in the NBA. I believe Rose and Rondo will be all-stars next season. I am looking forward to see these two guards battle it out once again. Very fun to watch in the 2009 NBA playoffs and I believe they will do battle for the next 10-12 years. I personally don’t like Rondo because on what he did to the bulls (foul on Miller/Hinrich) but I respect his game and he is very fun to watch. thebullsnation: cbullsnation.co.cc Derrick Rose vs Rajon Rondo Rajon …
