Yeah James and especially Kevin Love have beasted this series. Poured in a massive 14, 9 and 13 points in his last 3 games on an efficient 35% raw FG%The fact that Boston is even in this position is absolutely preposterous given their injuries. They're gonna have some tough decisions to make next year when everyone is back healthy. As far as this series, feel like it's going 7 and someone on the Cavs not named James & Love need to sack the fuck up and ball. I don't give two shits if they'll get smacked in the finals, beat, fucking, boston, that's it. Worry about the finals when they're there, if they're there . . .
LeBron's effort on D drives me nuts but if the others are following his example on D then they have no championship pedigree because they sure as hell aren't doing the same on offense. All the best teams are able to hide their best offensive player and let him conserve energy on D but here we are asking a 33 year old with truck milage to protect our paint and be our top scorerAs far as I'm concerned, we may as well start the offseason talk now. The series is over. Why should I feel differently when they haven't given one piece of evidence that they can win in Boston?
And if LeBron is gassed before a game even starts, it may not even go 7. Watch the start of last night's game again and tell me LeBron had any interest in playing. He was walking everywhere and defensively he was playing like it was game 47 of the regular season. But hey, I guess he was gassed from the shoot around.
Rest of the team is always bad on the road but when they follow your leaders example being put forth. Another road demolition takes place.
Usually I get a feel for a game in the first 5-8 minutes.Only took a couple minutes to see how this would go
Lbj was done from the start

I can't get over not having Korver starting and getting 26-30 minutes a game. Lue's stubbornness with JR is costing the Cavs a lot. In yesterday's game, there were countless times where a 3 would have shifted momentum and they constantly missed them.
With Korver starting, JR can come off the bench to be the irrational confidence guy. I still believe more in JR's irrational confidence than I do Clarkson's.
I also hate that Lue didn't bother giving Cedi enough work during the season and postseason to have enough confidence in him to get some of Green's minutes. Cedi has fresh legs and puts in great effort, both of which are badly needed against a team like the Celtics. If both teams are worn down and playing hard, you're going to get these grind out games like we had yesterday and guys like Cedi, TT, and Nance thrive in those situations. Korver has put in A+ effort as well.
I mean LeBron is my favorite player always will but even if we get past the Celtics the rockets come out of the West I don't trust him against one of his best friends in Paul. He becomes mental when playing friends. Last game was more than fatigue. From tip he conceded defeat.
