 Fool Me Twice: Cavs Go Down 0-2 to Boston
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 ...

The Internets are alive: Cavaliers at Celtics, Game 2
Published 5/9/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
... Cavalier Attitude: "One thing that provoked profanity-laced tirade after profanity-laced tirade from me was watching Anderson freaking Varejao put the ball on the floor and attack the basket as if he was Kevin Garnett himself. Let’s get this much straight: Varejao has completely wore out his welcome in Cleveland after the garbage play he has put up since the trading deadline. It was one thing to demand a six-year, $60 million deal in the offseason like a complete buffoon - it’s quite another to follow up those theatrics by playing like a piece ...

Celtics Take 2-0 Series Lead Over Cavs

Waiting To Witness The True LeBron James
Michael Jordan had one. Magic Johnson had one. Even Lebron James had one in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, now he just needs to have another.

LeBron’s Our Bitch
The Celtics defense against LeBron James is downright Belichick-ian. Simply put: They are in this guy’s head.
