Oops. The Second Coming got served.

Brand had a huge game for the Clippers. I think LeBron had a big second half after not getting many touches in the first half. At one point Ilgauskas had over 2 times as many FG attempts as LeBron. But LeBron still amazes me. He finished with something like 22/6/6/6 and he didn't even have a good night.

Did Gooden get injured or something?

I didn't see the game. I just read that Bobby Simmons shut down LeBron in the 4th quarter, but I didn't see any mention of Gooden at all.

``It wasn't just Simmons, it was everybody,'' James said. ``The whole team pretty much collapsed on me, made me give the ball up and made me take tough shots. They played great tonight.''

James had 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists and six steals -- equaling his career high. But he scored only two points in the fourth quarter, when the Clippers outscored the Cavaliers 24-14.

``They were crowding him -- two or three people on him most of the time, and other guys weren't sharp,'' Cavaliers coach Paul Silas said. ``But that's going to happen. We're kind of used to that now. A lot of teams are doubling LeBron, trying to make him give the ball up. So other guys have to step up.''

I watched the game and seeing the way that James plays off the ball is pretty pathetic.

The kid didn't MOVE in the first half.

Gosh I'm glad we have motion in our offense.
