Hero Shot Three Pointers

To rely on the Cavs missing their FT is a recipe for disaster, had the Cavs made their FT, this would be a different game altogether, and expect the Cavs to make them damned FT at the Q so it means a mere tight game and more difficult to win in Cleveland…I wish im wrong we just flat out finish the Cavs off in Gm 6

Regardless of what happens in this series, it has shown that LeBrick is not the player Kobe Bryant is. LaBron is not a great shooter. If wasn’t able to bull his way to rim and get the benefit of calls, he would be a rich man’s Tone Walker. Kobe Bryant is a great shooter. If you keep him from going to the rim, he can on even an average night kill you with his jump shot. If you keep Labron away from the rim, he will shoot his team out of the game unless he is having a great night. He is still a great player who can rebound and pass, but I am not nearly as enamored with his game as everyone else in the NBA seems to be.

The refs we’re absolutly terrible last night. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The refs bailed out the cavs so many times i just gave up caring. mean while the C’s were attacking the rim and getting NOTHING! The only reason the free throws were as close as they were (yup, 20 more is ’close’) is because of how many PP got in the last 2-3 mins when they started to foul. Take those 6-8 away and we’re looking at the Cav’s shooting 30 or so more free throws!!! what gives? I thought we were in Boston last night but I guess the refs got the memo to keep the cavs in it as long as possible. I just don’t get it. we didn’t get one ‘home call’, not a single one. The Cav’s got all sorts of touch fouls and they always seemed to be in the act of shooting. And on top of all of that the Cavs and their fans have the tenacity to say the C’s were getting the benefit of the calls…give me a break.

IowaGuy,

I stopped counting long ago the number of times LaBron has bulled into the lane, flopped around, and gotten a foul in this series. If the refs stopped giving him the benefit of every call, his performances in games one and two would be the norm.

It helped Cleveland that they were in the penalty near the start of the fourth. All they had to do was be aggressive and the FTs would start to pile up. Delonte in particular took great advantage. Those three fouls by PJ Brown in the first two minutes of the fourth hurt.

Also, LBJ was getting to the rim easier than he has all season in the first half. He had double digit FTs by halftime. Posey’s defense wasn’t effective. Another reason for the large disparity.

Game 6 they will need an all around game on offense. I would still like to see Tony Allen and Pierce in that same time if the offense is not working so they can drive to the hoop. Also House will be needed for shooting and I believe we can win in Cleveland if we adjust on offense.

I tried staying positive after the losses, but have to make a couple negative comments after a win.

What was with Pierce pretending to be a point guard in the last few minutes? Sometimes, I really dislike Paul Pierce. He can’t get out of his own way.

And Perkins? Seems like he is content to be a cheerleader in fourth quarters. Doc just can’t play him late in a close game because of his horrible offense, especially his inability to go up strong without doing the idiot dribble first. It was like that all season and now in the playoffs. As a result, either BB or Powe has to come up with big fourth quarters for the Celts to win. It’s almost like Perk is a half-game player and doesn’t have the capacity to grow beyond it. I can understand when guys have limited talent, but Perk’s problems are mostly mental. He is either unwilling or unable to play smart, and he seems to have a real arrogance about it.

Of course, he’ll probably have a monster game 6 and I will be talking about how underrated he is. ;)

Enough of Sam already. Enough. Win or lose let’s do it with Rondo. And enough of PJ as well, and more of Big Baby. Let’s hope Doc doesn’t spot Greg Minor in the crowd as he’s liable to call on his veteran presence.

when the c’s are passing the ball- really moving it-it’s easier for ray or anyone to score. when pp or others hold the ball or waste a dribble, it’s a tortured shot.i also noticed this last game that lebron now goes to his face pretending he’s hurt even when it’s a no foul call after the play. there really needs to be foul calls like in hockey for phoney flops. i don’t blame him to play up his precious super star entitlement but he is a putrid man- a bad actor and a grade a whiney boy.
