INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- While many NBA fans, the television networks that carry NBA games and league executives might be rooting for a Finals rematch between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, LeBron James says the thought of a third straight showdown with Golden State isnt on his mind at all.To be completely honest, its not, James said after Cavs shootaround Thursday prior to their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It would be selfish of me and foolish of me to think about playing the Warriors in another Finals. It would be disrespectful to my teammates, disrespectful to the rest of the league and disrespectful to the Warriors to even [entertain the thought].James was asked about the potential rubber match after Cleveland guard Iman Shumpert told Complex, in an interview published this week, that the Cavs not only want to play the Warriors, but that they will do some damage when they do.We supposed to hate them, and they supposed to hate us,?Shumpert said. Its OK. They supposed to take cheap shots at us. Theyre gonna hate us, fam. Thats what sports is. Its great. I love every bit of it. Im glad he said that cause we gon bust they ass, too. You need to type that up: We gon bust your ass. Period.The Cavs will get their first look at the revamped Warriors since their epic Game 7 win in a little less than a month, when they host Kevin Durant and Co. on Christmas Day. Getting excited for that game is one thing; making plans for June when there are still more than 60 regular-season games left to play is another.I have zero entitlement on this journey, James continued. Its always a process for me. The Warriors are a great team. They assembled great players in Draymond [Green] and Klay [Thompson] and Steph [Curry] and KD and the rest of those guys, and obviously they have a great coach in Steve Kerr, but it would be foolish of me and disrespectful to myself, to my teammates and to the rest of the competition to just put ourselves in a third matchup with them. And I havent even fantasized about it. I havent thought about it. Its too long of a season.Its too much work to be done for me to put myself in that mind frame. But theyre a great team. Were a team that wants to get better every day and become a great team as well. So, well see what happens. But I havent even thought about it at all.Green started the round of trash talk by recently telling NBA.coms David Aldridge, If Cleveland comes out of the East, I want to destroy Cleveland. No ifs, ands and buts about it. But I also know that theres steps to get to that point. And if and when we get to that point, I want to annihilate them.Golden State currently has the best record in the league at 16-2; Cleveland has the second best at 13-3. Nike Shox Wholesale .

The luck seems to be evening out. Seager and Mike Zunino came up with clutch hits early, and the Mariners used an unlikely ninth inning double play to pull out a 4-3 win over the Indians on Tuesday night and extend their winning streak to eight games. Playing without ailing manager Eric Wedge for a second straight game, the Mariners took advantage of defensive miscues by the Indians, received solid pitching and executed flawlessly in the ninth inning when it appeared Cleveland was set to at least tie the game. The Mariners extended the longest current win streak in baseball and have a chance Wednesday for their first nine-game win streak since 2003. "When we were in Cleveland they were playing really good baseball obviously and they got a few breaks for them and thats what good teams do," Seager said. "This series weve been playing pretty well and weve been able to capitalize when given the opportunities." The ninth started ominously with Mark Reynolds singling on Wilhelmsens first pitch of the inning. Drew Stubbs came on to pinch run and went racing to third on Lonnie Chisenhalls single up the middle to put runners on the corners with no outs. Thats when the craziness began. Yan Gomes hit a chopper to third base. Seager briefly looked at Stubbs and quickly threw to second to get pinch runner Mike Aviles. Stubbs found himself caught between making a sprint for the plate or staying at third. When he started to break for home, Nick Franklin was already throwing to the plate. Stubbs was caught in a rundown and eventually tagged out by shortstop Brad Miller. It was a fundamentally solid play mostly by a group of players that havent been in the big leagues for very long. "Our young guys right there, the way they executed that was quite impressive, starting with Seager and then Franklin and Miller getting over there. Thats not an easy guy to track down either," said Seattle bench coach Robby Thompson, who filled in for Wedge again. "It was great court awareness, if you would, for the young guys." Stubbs said he neverr should have hesitated once Seager threw to second.dddddddddddd "Its a play youve got to run through scenarios in your head and make your mind up and go with it," Stubbs said. "Any slight hesitation is going to cost you like it did." Wilhelmsen then struck out Michael Bourn looking to end it. "Thats what winning is about, is taking advantage of those opportunities and were starting to do that more times than not as of late," Wilhelmsen said. The Mariners believed they would have Wedge back in the dugout a day after he went to a local hospital following dizzy spells during batting practice. But doctors kept Wedge for one more night while more tests were run to try and determine a cause. Thompson improved to 2-0 as the Mariners fill-in manager. Seager had an RBI double in the first, an inning that was kept alive by a Cleveland error. He singled and scored the tying run in the third and Zunino came through with a two-out RBI off Cleveland starter Zach McAllister (4-6) later in the inning to give Seattle the lead. Raul Ibanez, Kendrys Morales and Michael Saunders all had doubles in the third inning. Zuninos two-out single into right field scored Saunders with what proved to be the winning run. Zunino had a solo homer on Monday night that was the winning run in a 2-1 victory. Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez and a pair of relievers made the one-run lead stand up. Ramirez (1-1) pitched 5 2-3 innings, before giving way to Yoervis Medina, who threw 2 1-3 innings allowing just one hit. Wilhelmsens wild ninth was good enough for his 23rd save. Ramirez gave up a two-run homer to Gomes in the second, but allowed only one baserunner past first base the rest of the night. The big inning for Ramirez was the third, when the Indians had runners on the corners and two outs and got Reynolds to weakly ground out. "Sometimes things just kind of snowball and go your way and they seem to be going our way a little bit," Thompson said. NOTES: Clevelands three errors matched its season high, done on two other occasions this season. ... Seattle sent reliever Bobby LaFromboise to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday to clear a roster spot for Ramirez to make the start. ... Three of Gomes seven homers this season have come against Seattle. ' ' '
