LeBron lost the game...but to be fair Z took 18 shots...same number as LeBron. Wally took 14. Down 68-65...the ball was passed from LeBron to the open Gibson for a 3 that tied the game. Tied 68-68, LeBron passed to an open Z who made the shot to put them up 70-68. Down 72-70 LeBron drove for a layup with 3 guys converging on him...(of course he missed but it opened up the lane for an offensive rebound to tie it again.) It is certainly not true that in key parts of the game LeBron is taking every single shot (he took 3 shots in the 4th quarter game 4 in Washington.) Now down 74-72 with 20 seconds left I think if you can get James to penetrate that is the play to run. He did get to the lane for a layup...a difficult one but certainly one he can make. I prefer what happened there than James dribbling for 18 seconds and taking a fade away 3 pointer at the buzzer. The penetration potentially opens up the offensive rebound but it didn't happen that time.

As miserable as he was, things were still happening. They played hard.

Oh let's be fairer:

Bonehead...39 mins......Z 37 mins.

Bonehead 2 of 18....Z 8 of 18 ( are you following this?)

Bonehead 10 turnovers....Z....3










OK?

Celts were lucky to be in it, Cavs were very bad also

"fair and balanced...Fox News, Sumitas and Peanut Shell"

And to be fairer...mention Wally was 5-14...and scored 13 to Bonehead's 12.

And Wally didn't have any turnovers.

Hey..MainCourse...hope yer watchin' this.

The FROZEN ONE keeps firin' away----3-13.


Z is 6-7.





Do you see an imbalance here?




The Black fellow on tv said it right...the Cavs ( other than Z) plan is just to let 'er rip from long range. No offensive strategy at all.
