Celtics defense... watch the defense some more rather than just or mostly the offense...


no one should shot less than 20% .. great D but horrible shooting and missing layups.

Well, of course it's not all the defense, as I said, and said last game, but it is the main factor over the course of the games, for LeBron's struggles

Part of that is LeBron's inconsistent jumpshot

Lebron is amazing, but his team is pretty wack. All he is getting is contested jump shots. Z is a handful though.

Aliens must have stolen LeBron's skills. He's looking like Charles Barkley in Space Jam. Hope he'll get back to normal in Cleveland.

The difference being what? When Kobe was 23, he was fortunate enough to have the best player in the NBA on his team to cover up the flaws in his game.

No one's disregarding Lebron's age- but when comparing who is the better play currently- age really has no meaning whatsoever.

Too bad Cavs can do nothing in the off-season. This team needs real PG and another legit scorer. LeBron is enough to beat good teams but he can't beat great defensive teams because he's still raw offensively. He must develop a post game. No need to mention that his jumper is streaky as hell.

Well then yes, Kobe is the best player in the NBA. But wasn't that the consensus coming into the playoffs? I know every post I've made on the subject had Kobe #1.

But the supporting cast is a factor as well. And Utah doesn't have Boston's defense.

Really? Didn't Joe Johnson shoot 37% in Boston? Including shooting 30% in the first two games. Better than LeBron yes, but "explode"? Lets see what LeBron does in the next two games. The Hawks got blown out twice in Boston. The Cavs almost took Game 1.
