Game 2: Cavs @ Celtics 7pm on ESPN

Also the Celtics just have a better team. More shooters, better post players, better bench players, better guards

They just have a better roster. Lebron was the only chance we had to equalize things but when he is not superhuman, this team gets exposed.

Finally, someone who speaks the truth

I really dont get it. I would love to give credit to the Boston defense because honestly it would make me feel better about the way LeBron has played, but thats simply not it. He has faced the type of defese (and much better) countless times before but he flat out looks like a different guy out there. I cant remember seeing him miss soooo many layups no matter how difficult they are. Those are almost always going down for him, but so far everything is just bouncing out. Its so strange. I dont mean to not give credit to the Celtics, because yes they are so damn good, but LeBron missing almost everything he shoots is something completey shocking.

Now we flat out have to win games 3 and 4. I have no doubt we win 3, its 4 Im worried about. We've been in this position before. Let's see what sort of adjustments Coach Brown makes and go from there.

I'm not even sure about game 3 anymore.

Frankly we have ZERO chance to win a game with the Lebron James we have seen in the 2nd rd. This is the worst he has ever played...I can't explain it either

I guess at times you have to remember he is only 23 yrs old and is basically on an island by himself out there..he really has no mentor or co-star to rely on when he hits a rough stretch like this.

Hopefully the home crowd can get his confidence back up

LeBron has had some great games against the C's throughout his brief career.

He's like averaging 35 pts 8 boards 7 assists are some sick line like that against the C's so maybe these last two games is just bringing his stats more towards the average human being should be.

I wouldn't be so hard on LeBron....he's def. taking a lot of tough shots and if your normal jump shots don't go in anyone will start to press a little and then start thinking about shots and miss layups you normally make.

It's a long series...look for LeBron to bounce back in a big way at home in Cleveland....and most importantly his teammates will be super confident and will probably have huge games as well (if they don't step up then it spells trouble...big time).

Right now it's been a home/away series......only holding serve.....nothing proven yet. Now if the C's take one of the next two.......

Cavs fans shouldn't feel too bad. The C's did the same thing in the last series and it ended up going to a game 7.

Well from what us cavs fans have seen this year, it doesnt give some of us much confidence. The dribble out the shot clock and hoist a fadeaway three is a staple of this offense and there doesnt seem to be anyone on the cavs coaching staff who realizes how bad/predictable/easy to defend/fundamentally flawed/ and or just plain stupid it really is.

I mean how can this team not post lebron up against pierce? I have seen one game where they concentrated on posting up Lebron against NJ last year and he just abused RJ and whoever else they put on him. TAKE THE BALL OUT OF LBJ'S HANDS AND POST HIM UP.

Make the C's adjust to that, then move him around if necessary. who is going to help on LB if he posts up? probably perkins, so Z will be open. if its KG then go right at him repeatedly until he is in foul trouble. I f there is one guy I want on the bench for Bos it is KG.

Well, at least Avery is available if there is no change to this sad excuse of an offense the cavs run.
