LeBron James couldn’t make a basket down the stretch—or at virtually any other time—and the Boston Celtics eked out a 76-72 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals
ames was held to 12 points on 2-for-18 shooting. He missed three drives and a 3-pointer in the final minute.
LeBron James thought he had it rough with the Wizards? Not compared to what Boston left him with: 12 points, 10 turnovers, 1 loss
Tough to score when your playing 1 on 5.
tough to score when you turn the ball over 10 times
And Boston did not play well either
they got the w
they played down to the cavs
If Allen and Pierce had shown up this game could have been a blowout.
allen chokes in playoffs
At least his team hasnt been blown out twice by a team run by a playoff newb.
I guess you have to distract yourself from the horrible hornets-spurs series huh?
How did I know this thread was coming
I enjoyed it too.
I don't know if I will go that far yet but nobody is mentioning that he has been struggling a bit in the playoffs. I did not see tonight's game but I think Rivers needs to run him off screens and get him more touches. 4 shot attempts is nowhere near enough touches.
Son, you aren't fit to shine LeBron's shoes. You ought to just understand that instead of being a hating little one-note .
Why again do you hate Lebron?
Same reason he hates Manu?
he is overrated crys
breaks the rules get away with it
travels
is shoved down everyone's throat
his team sucks and he questions why his team is overlooked compared to boston
please
So I guess LeBron must suck then, huh?
he sure did tonight
That seems fair.
He's the best player in the league. Hands down.
Every time he touched the ball he had a 3 man funnel on him.
Solution? How about some ball moment? Look for the open man instead of finding ways to penetrate against triple coverage.
Barkley called out Coach Brown for the horrible offensive sets.
Overrated...
Brought an entire ing franchise back from the dead, single-handedly...
You have no idea, no clue, no conception of how bad this organization was before he got here...
Overrated...
I can't believe I'm letting this dip get a rise out of me.
He had nine assists. The support guys actually did pretty well. He got Z and Wally the ball in good spots. God love him, LBJ just couldn't hit. Even a standard below-average game, and we win going away.
This team needs another guy who can penetrate and create opportunities. There's nobody else who can get LBJ easy looks... he has to create everything for everyone and himself. No one is asked to do more than him.
ducks if Tony parker was quintuple teamed he would turn the ball over 90 times. LBJ had it coming and everybody knew that Boston was gonna cover LBJ with 5 guys and they Cavs still nearly won. I said this last year when they played the Pistons and I'll say it again. The margin of victory by Boston was miniscule it was not assuring of any dominance, with LBJ playing so ty they still nearly won it, samething happend to LBJ last year he played ty two first games and the exploded games 3 4 5 6. I expect a close game 2, but would not be suprised if cavs lost in a similar fashion. Then expect LBJ to get amped by the home crowd in game 3 and go ape and win games 3 and 4 steal one in boston and then wrap it up at home again.
James didn't play bad because of Boston D. Pretty much all his looks were good. He just couldn't convert. Once LeBron drives, Celts can't do anything to stop him. LJ stopped himself last night.
