Cavs shouldn't worry, it was a fluke loss

[CubanMustGo]

Lebron always elevates his game come playoff time. That's why a 50 win Cavs team took a 64 win Pistons team to 7, that's why a 50 win Cavs team made the Finals, and that's why a 45 win Cavs team (Pythagorean record of 39-43) took the champions to 7 games last year.

So yeah, fluke loss.

Lebron James career stats, courtesy NBA.com:

Playoffs: 27.5 PPG 8.0 RPG 7.3 APG 1.6 SPG 0.8 BPG 4.02 TO/G in 40.8 MPG
Regular Season: 27.5 PPG 7.0 RPG 6.8 APG 1.8 SPG 0.8 BPG 3.29 TO/G in 44.5 MPG.

No change in scoring. 1 more rebound per game, half an assist more per game (wiped out by .6 more TO/game), 0.2 fewer steals per game, no change in blocks per game and he plays 10% more time in the playoffs than in the regular season. Yeah, that's really stepping it up.

And the "fluke" crap was old last week.

Oops, don't forget this:

Playoffs: 43.3% FG 28.8% 3FG
Regular season: 46.9% FG 32.1% 3FG

and last playoff season was LeBron's worst (41.1% / 25.7%).

Yeah... wouldn't put too much trust in a 21 YO in the playoffs with 3 knee injuries in his past. Bynum has a bright future, but yeah... wouldn't trust a 21 YO in the playoffs.

The Lakers, we already knew they were a great regular season team. They were great after the Gasol trade and great thus far this year.

But whatever it is, come playoff time their bench players stop making their fluke bull shots. And come Finals time, Kobe turns into an ordinary 40% shooter.

So again, the Cavs shouldn't be too concerned about this fluke loss.

LOL at your savior shooting 5/20.

[MambaJuice2408]

17 pt win in LA, 10 pt win in CLE.

I guess when you win in previously unbeaten Cleveland by 10 that's like winning by 20 in any other gym.

Lakers the best in the biz. Spurs r playing really well right now.

On the other hand Boston needs to make a move. They got powned this at last week by Western contenders

What happens when Bynum is up and going come June?

bynum's being arrested by cops?

[ducks]

atleast Lebron can elevate his game in the PO's...unfortunately, its quite the other way around for Dallas.

NO HE DOES NOT
LOOK AT THE STATS AND QUITE MAKING STUFF UP
