Not yet, no...

He is not going to change, though...but we also need him to score...if he is off, he s the most frustrating player to watch...Yinka Dare was a better passer... :lol:

Seems like very un brad sevens type player. I guess he brings it enough on the other end Stevens lives with his offense

I've never agreed with that cliche.

I think that rather it starts when both teams are playing well at the same time. And in that case, it basically started in the second quarter of the most recent game.

He’s unbelievable. Never seen anything like him and I’m 43.

Bird was very comparable to Lebron on offense -- even better, actually, although it's hard to be sure given very different teammates, rules, etc. Rebounding is probably also advantage-Bird.

But Bird didn't have those extra gears on defense that Lebron does.

More like Cavs in 6 or 7. Lebron isn't losing a game 7.

Has he ever won a game 7 on the road?

Especially that too for the ECFs?

2016 Finals ring a bell?

Anyways, Cavs did what they needed to do. But these Boston fans have been the loudest home crowd the Cavs have played against in the past four years. As good as we played in games 3 and 4, I dont feel great about gane 5. The only thing really working in the Cavs favor here is that all the pressure shifted toward Boston - with their road struggles they will be seeing this game as a must win.

You've gotta give it to the Cavs. They played hard-nosed ball and took advantage of the Celtics' mistakes. Every time Boston missed a layup or dunk, Cleveland made them pay.

I dont think so. The Celtics are playing with house money and dont have any pressure to perform. if the role players for Cavs show up even defensively for game 5, it's a wrap.

eh, lots would disagree with that. LeBron vision is a notch above birds.

defensively, not just the extra gear but his ability to guards 90percent (or more) of the players in the league further sets apart LeBron and Larry

Boston is just so bad on the road. Not to take away from what they've accomplished because, given the circumstances, it's a phenomenal achievement for them to just get this far. It's weird seeing a team in the conference finals who skews this drastically in home performance vs. road performance.

If their offense didn't show up after the Titanic number of turnovers Cleveland committee, best of luck to ya

Dude. Missed 4 dunks, countless of layups. Boston left about 20 points on the board on shots a pro should be able to make.

Their offense didn’t show. They played hard, got what they wanted, just a streaky offensive team because they have no 25 ppg scorer.

Refs too Morris and Love our of this game.

And that Morris wipes out 3 was big. What an amateur call.

First off, it is a reactionary rule because refs are too dumb to have it as a no call. Serious. Just make it a no call.

there are some crazy stats from last night apart from BOS winning 3 quarters, they also committed far less TOs - 10 to CLEs 19 and got outrebounded 47 to 37. The hustle was also there for cleveland, Korver had three blocks. They limited love to 9 points and 6 turnovers, but still lost badly.
Imo BOS has to focus more on Korver and Hill, cause when they play well, boston has struggled. But maybe homecourt will just work its magic again

Bost missed 15 dunks...thats an easy 30 pts...this game isnt even close if they convert like 99.9% of NBA players convert on dunks

true. But that's just part of proper execution too. If you can't dunk, just lay it up

Who wins the series?
