I agree with you here.
LaBron had a couple of very bad games (yes, the defense was more than excellent) and now people are dumping all over him as if he was some hollow product of media hype.
The fellow is going to be dangerous tonight.
Playoff blow outs often are often not good things. The winner relaxes a little and the loser gets fired up.
In game 1 of the 1985 finals the Celtics destroyed the Lakers 148-114 in the Memorial Day Massacre.
The Lakers were humiliated and Celts lost the home court advantage the next game. They never caught up. In the end, the Lakers defeated Boston in the playoffs for the first time.
This situation is obviously different since the Celts have held serve but I will be surprised if we do not see a very different LaBron tonight.

I think James will obviously do better. He has missed some pretty easy shots, but I think the Cs have something to prove as well. Yes, some idiots say James is a product of the media, but they are idiots for a reason. No one with a brain thinks LeBron isn't good, or as good as advertised. The Cs however, have been hearing the "they can't win a championship unless they win on the road, which they haven't done yet. They will want to end that chatter ASAP. When is the last time the Cs lost 4 in a row on the road? So, it will be a battle for sure with both teams looking to prove something, which should make for a great game.
