cavs should win that game BOSTON, May 18 (AP) — Paul Pierce hit a shot. Then LeBron James answered. Pierce hit another and so did James. It was like that all game long, two of the NBA’s best trying to carry their teams to the next round. Pierce and the Boston Celtics succeeded, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 97-92 on Sunday. Twenty years earlier there was another thrilling shootout in another seventh game of the Eastern Conference semifinals in Boston — Larry Bird vs. Dominique Wilkins. And the result was the same: a narrow Celtics victory that sent them to the conference finals against Detroit. Pierce scored 41 points, James had 45 and Boston remained unbeaten in the playoffs at home, where the first two games against the Pistons will be played Tuesday and Thursday night. “It is a great feeling,” Pierce said. “We knew this was going to be a tough, tough series.” In a seven-game series in which the road team never won, the Celtics had many green-clad fans on their side. Lucky the Mascot held up a sign reading, “ROCK THE GARDEN!” and the crowd roared. Pierce got the loudest ovation when he was introduced with his nickname, “The Truth.” And when the game started, one fan bellowed, “Not today, LeBron!” It wasn’t Wilkins’ day on May 22, 1988, even though he outscored Bird in Boston’s 118-116 win over Atlanta at the old Boston Garden. Wilkins finished with 47 points, with 16 in the fourth quarter, and Bird had 34, with 20 in the final period. “I’m very aware of the game …

lebron jams= ball hog
So my basketball teammate lfsp0321 finally told me how he started dunking, he s not even as tall as me but jumps over 9 inches higher! So he took the program over at “50inch vertical [dot] com” and increased over 16 inches in his vertical jump!
Stats don’t mean shit. Any player would average at least 7 assists / game if they controlled every possession for their team. Don’t tell people to check their stats because stats are a complete lie. Assists are also a measure of how often your teammates knock down their shots. So while other players might be averaging more than 7 assists per game, like say Dwyane Wade, they don’t, because they don’t get an assist when their shooter can’t knock down a shot. LeBron’s stats are a complete joke.
@goldenapple91 chokin is da gayest word i ever herd faget if u celtics fan then i feel bad 4 u bitch cuz we winnin this series we just kicked ya ass i got no respect 4 u
Celtics will be the CAVS in 2010!
Im a lakers fan and i admit that the cavs had a whole better chance to beat the celtics that year. My favorite player is kobe, but i admit that Lebron has surpassed Kobe. Im not one of those people to try to take pride away from somebody. Lebron is a beast and (if) keyword (if) keeps this up, he will be the greatest player of all time.
one of the greatest shoot outs up there with bird and domonique, pierce won this one tho, lebron james might be king james but paul pierce is the truth period
Lebron choking?? He’s the reason they got there. Everybody went stale in 2009 and just watched Lebron go to work his teammates choked not him. Lebron has had some of the best playoff games the NBA has EVER seen. And yeah he ran into a brick wall because once again his teammates didn’t step up and the Spurs were just too good a team to let just ONE player single handedly beat them.
why did he play bad???? he just dosnt have good teamates
hey, Im a celtics fan, now im not saying that Orlando suck, but just because they’re 2nd doesn’t mean they will repeat in the conference fina;s
@bigevil50 I’d worry less about the Celtics and more about Lebron choking like he always does in the playoffs (2007 Finals, 2009 ECF)
@goldenapple91 lmaoo such a fucking retard boston will lose first round MAXIMUM theyll make to the semis i fuckin promise.
Conference Finals: Cavaliers vs Magic
Conference Finals: Lakers vs Nuggets
Finals: Cavaliers vs Nuggets
2010 Champs
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS!!!! From Cleveland baybay
@bigevil50 U just might get your wish in the semis or conference finals
lebron is 1000000000000x better than pierce and i wannna see boston beat us this year in a 7 game series
y does everyone say kobe or lebron is the next michael jordan??? y cant they just be the new lebron or kobe
if anybody is the next jordan its kobe
and this is coming from a celts fan
to bad lebron cant handle peirce is scary under pressure to the other team
look at the bulls game 6 last year he hit so many shots with people in his face
i am ready this year i cant wait
Boston and Lakers on every other years I believe :O.
umm…. thats like sayin san antonio would struggle on offense and defense w/o duncan. no shit. he anchored both. but wat u forget is we lost 1st n 2nd string PF. Leon powe was his backup. we lost alot n still slugged it wit yteams. no way orl shudve let us see 7. but ew still shudve won it in 6. the team got heart how can u question that? scal payed REAL minutes. n we still was a threat????

But it was a good game…
Cavs Takin it 2010
R.I.P MJ
Free Max B “Ow”
yo bumper212, u don’t kno anything buddy, look how old ray and paul and KG are, and yet they’re still playing amazing, when ur best player goes down obviously ur not getting far, the cavs are shit, they faced two easy teams in the first 2 rounds but when it came to a challenge it couldn’t handle anything. Mo Williams and everyone except lebron choked.

lol yeah… The Rockets put up a damn good fight against the lakers. Everyone thought that the Lakers would smoke them, but it was a good series, all except the last one…
do u think that Lebron is th next Michael Jordan?
Fr me…
There will never be another Michael Jordan
