Cleveland will travel to Boston for Game 1 on Tuesday, as LeBron James and Paul Pierce get ready to face off once more. It’s one of the best kept secrets in the NBA, but LeBron and Pierce have one of the NBA’s best...
The Multiple Choice Superstar Test: Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Playoff Preview
emptythebench.com 5/6/2008 — This series’ combined Big Four certainly aren’t the whole story or the only story—we have more on the supporting casts below. But the spotlight will shine brightest on LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen, four All-Stars capable of putting their team on their back and almost single-handedly turning the tide of the entire series. Let’s see who actually does it.
Round 2

We chatted with John over at Red’s Army before game one. Here’s the second installment of our ongoing playoff conversation…
Red’s Army- So LeBron and Paul Pierce/Ray Allen EACH went 2-18 with 10 turnovers. Which of those scares you more?
WFNY- Well, as a Cavalier fan Pierce and Allen going 2-18 doesn’t scare me at all…

LeBron & Co. are “Befuddled” —
Dime Magazine

Solid Cavs blog Cavalier Attitude is understandably distressed over the way LeBron & Co. are playing against Boston. CA describes ‘Bron as “befuddled,” correctly pointing out that James is playing into the Celts’ hands by settling for long jumpers over and over and over again.
Another object of Cavalier Attitude’s ire? Anderson Varejao. From [...]
The LeBron Rules: Celtics Contain James, Crush Cavs —
20 Second Timeout
For the second game in a row, the Boston Celtics contained LeBron James but this time the Celtics also generated enough offense to put the contest out of reach well before the final buzzer, beating Cleveland 89-73. James had a game-high 21 points plus six assists and five rebounds but he shot just 6-24 from the field and committed seven turnovers. Neither team shot well but Boston got solid ...
Fool Me Twice: Cavs Go Down 0-2 to Boston —
Cleveland Cavaliers
It looks like LeBron James was right. He couldn’t play any worse than he did on Tuesday night.
Going from 11.1 percent shooting to 25 percent is, technically, an improvement.
While Paul Pierce and Ray Allen got back into the swing of things for Game 2, LeBron was still, for a lack of a better term, “befuddled.” He led the Cavs with 21 points - nine more than his 12 in ...

76-72. That was the final score. Are you serious? Ray Allen scores 0 points? LeBron James and Paul Pierce make 2 field goals each? How did these two teams even score in the 70's? I didn't see the game, but I hear Habitat for Humanity is able to build a new home with all of ...
Cavs' Poor Defensive Decisions Late Cost Them Game 1 —
FanHouse
There's no question that Game 1 of the Cavaliers-Celtics series was painful to watch. I mean, how many times will you see LeBron James , Paul Pierce , and Ray Allen combine for just 16 points in an entire game? The only one that was on last night was Kevin Garnett (28 points), but that was mainly due to Cleveland's bad defense, especially on the last couple of possessions. Take a look at the ...

Game 1 MVP’s: Pierce / Posey —
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans
Let’s get one thing straight right away: KG was a monster that shut a lot of people up. He carried the team offensively, and he drove hard the hoop for what turned out to be a game winning layup. Awesome game for KG… and that aggressiveness should scare Cavs fans.
But I want to make sure that the defensive effort on LeBron isn’t lost… especially since the ...
Garnett Carries Celtics as James Struggles —
20 Second Timeout
On a night when the other three All-Stars on the court combined to shoot 4-36 from the field, Kevin Garnett shot 13-22, scored 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds as his Boston Celtics escaped with a 76-72 game one victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. If this game were a building, it would have been condemned and torn down; if this game could have looked into a mirror, the glass would have ...
Celtics Win a Sloppy Game 1 —
Sports of Boston
The Celtics managed to hold onto the win in game one tonight, despite some sloppy shooting for both teams, but also some great defense on both teams too. It was a low scoring one as well with the Celtics on top 76-72. However, if you told me before the game that Ray Allen would not have any points and Paul Pierce would have only 4 and that the Celtics would go onto win, then I would say that ...

One reason everyone has been so geeked since July that the Celtics are a championship contender again is the inevitable feeling of nostalgia. Well, Celtics/Cavs last night was definitely nostalgic; it looked a lot like those awful bump-and-grind Knicks/Heat games from the 1990’s. Paul Pierce only had 4 points on 2-of-14 shooting, [...]
