Most likely. He was a long way from being the best player on the floor today without question.

So was everyone besides Rondo.

I thought Shaq gave them more than could be reasonably expected

Holy **** what the hell happened to Rondo? He is like Bob Cousy and Tiny Archibald rolled into one! He may even be the chief pallbearer at Paul Pierces' funeral.

Nice left handed one captain.....

Celts are still 2-1 against at best but it is better than last weeks lack of expectations. Series is more schizo than Tyscon on Haldol and Red Bull with Given's in the late 80's...



FTFY....

Great quote. i hate to nitpick but tyson and givens got divorced in 1989

Thanks....I was struggling for a contradiction and thats all I had but I'll never forget that now.

still doesnt take away from a great quote doc.

Where did that come from?



Jettison the medicine!!

Chris Webber gave LeBron a virtual blow job last night. I thought he was gonna start crying when Kenny Smith disagreed with him.

Webber is horrible on that show. He constantly steps on the other guys talking and has nothing unique to say. He fills the chair at 2 AM. I'd rather hear Ernie bustin Charles off the tee.

Celts may not pull this off but......

They have again showed the country the difference between great talent and great teams. Cleveland is running out of chances to show the Cavs are capable of being a great team. If LeBron doesn't have 30 this half the rest of them can't beat the green team.

What I dont understand is why LeBron trys to fit in during games like this instead of simply taking over. At some point if you are going to move to the next level you have to take over. Unlike LA where Kobe can sometimes dominate the ball to the detriment of the team, Cleveland is a much better team when LeBron dominates the ball.

I agree they are better with LeBron the principal guy but he realizes the Cavs are going to need more options than him. Even if LJ scores 60 somebody has to still score 35-40 somehow. And then there's the whole defensive thing..

They have to have a team concept to be successful ultimately

When LeBron has the ball the defense always looks to help his man. That creates open shots which is why Cleveland was able to hit as many 3 pointers during the reg season. Not only that but when he drives he more often than not gets the call which gets the other team in foul trouble. Not to mention that Parker and Jamison are much better playing on the move.

Defensively they are just lost. If i was the coach i would have had Shaq deck Rondo a few times when he drove to make him at least flinch.

This really is an embarrassment. Perhaps LeBron may now bail and become a Knick?

lebron is asked to do more than any other superstar of our era. You name me another NBA team that won a championship without at least two superstars. who is the other star on cleveland?

Either way, they win the next game in Boston.

LOL.

He'll never win a title. Keep shooting threes, LeBron. You're a god-damned second coming of Rex Chapman. Seriously. You can do anything.

That is true but they arent even competing and LBJ has to take the blame. He has sleepwalked through this game like his kid was kidnapped and the only way the kidnappers werent going to kill him is if he threw this game. His passiveness is not a quality that this particular team can survive. The fact is that they feed off of him and you can blast brown all you want but he really has his hands tied. At some point you have to demand the ball and force things. Just meekly accepting another beating is an embarassment.

That being said Boston has played unusually well. They deserve a lot of credit too.
