Putting a great help defender on a scub backfires when that scub gets hot and lights it up. LeBron needed to recognize he couldn't just let Rafer shoot after he made the first few shots after the break.

Yeah, their plan of LeBron cheating off Rafer to help on everyone else certainly backfired that quarter.

I wouldn't say he got 'lit up' so much as the Cavs defensive scheme got exposed by him shooting well. LeBron was never even close to him, he was off doubling and playing the passing lanes... Which is fine when Rafer isn't knocking down shots, but if he is, they are going to pay for trying to play D that way.

And that was an absolutely dreadful technical on Dwight. They'll call just about anything a **** technical nowadays.

I thought Dwight was just fired up after a great play, I know I was. The Redd/RJ to Cleveland talks will intensify after this series that is a given. I wonder when is the earliest Redd will be in playing shape.

Are you kidding me? He flexed! FLEXED FOR GOD'S SAKE!

I hope the children weren't watching.

Well he is pretty buff... It kind of scared me.

My God, maybe put anyone on Alston.

Rafer>LeBron.

Newz · Post #2428 » by **Newz** » Wed May 27, 2009 2:43 am

See... LeBron isn't even close to Alston... That is just their defensive scheme and Rafer is making them pay for it.

Mike Brown = Dumb

LMAO. The buzzer goes off before anyone even touches it.

Alston >>> Dwight's biceps.

Alston. Another Karl/Grunfield screwjob.

WTF are the Cavs doing?

Posting up Wally?

Nice layup, Mo.

Jesus.

LeBron + Scrubs is apparently not enough to win a title. His support cast looks AWFUL.

midranger · Post #2438 » by **midranger** » Wed May 27, 2009 2:46 am

The Cavs have just fallen apart. Lebron has become Kobe shooting nothing but 20 foot fade aways.

mbucks22 · Post #2439 » by **mbucks22** » Wed May 27, 2009 2:46 am

Goddamn this is awesome to see.

jerrod · Post #2440 » by **jerrod** » Wed May 27, 2009 2:47 am

if the cavs win this game the magic should just call it a season, cleveland can't really play much worse
