Damn, I spoke too soon.

I think Rondo just lost his starting job.

Damn, LeBron and Allen are having horrible games again. Allen has missed all 3 shots he's taken and he's missed his only FT. As for LBJ, he's only hit 3-13, made 5-8FTs, and once more, 3 TOs. LBJ has to get it going.

People say that Ilgauskas sucks but if not for Ilgauska's versatility at the 5, the Cavs would be losing even worse in this game. Ilgauskas is 6-7...why don't they find a way to feed him the ball more? His 5-20ft shooting game is at least as good as LBJ's, they need to give him more shots, especially when he's hot like he was in the first half.

cavs series is just hard to watch. and lebron is playing scared...i do not get it...

Saku4me · 05-08-2008, 08:18 PM

Damn, and they aren't giving Ilgauskas the ball and he's the best shooter tonight. LBJ is now 4/19 from the field and 5/9FTs...that's crap. Come on LBJ, prove me right, rebound from that first game....(LBJ also said that they can only contain him for one game

)

BTW, as of now, LBJ is 6/37 in the past two playoff games, 13/19 from FT, and 14 TOs. He seriously needs to step up. Lucky for him he wasn't awarded the MVP trophy because he would murdered for playing like this.

z has been so fucking consistent since his return it's insane.

New Orleans to beat the Spurs tonight, straight up.

Titan416 · 05-08-2008, 08:57 PM

Lebron can"t deal with good defense. Hopefully him and the coach get it together for next game.

They are looking impressive in the first half.

Celtics in 5, they will win atleast one in cleveland

Mike brown is terrible, just a terrible coach. Cleveland needs some Izzo or D'Antoni. Their defense is already good enough that they don't need a defensive coach, they need a coach that knows how to get Lebron the ball where he can score and a coach that will tell him to stop shooting from 3 point and to learn a post game.

also, I am enjoying this. THis is step 1 that will set everything in motion for Lebron coming to NYC. Hopefully he develops a jumpshot by then. Lebron will be blamed for the loss of this series, then next year they will only be the 6th seed at best, then the following year not even make the playoffs. Then Lebron will leave.

The cavs lucked out last year when they had two cakewalks in their first two series last year. Lebron was basically able to sleep walk to the ECF, and then went off on a tear. He gassed out though and had nothing left in the finals. Now this year they have the hardest road to the finals in the ECF and it is showing on lebron. He was beat up and tired out in the Wizards series.

The couple day break and the fact that they will be at home should be good for him though. I assume he will bounce back, but that won't stop what is coming. The Celtics won easily tonight without even playing near full capacity.
