    lebron needs to improve his jumper if he's gonna dominate the playoffs offensively. great defensive teams can just force him to take jumpers (spurs/celts).

    ray allen and paul pierce are vastly overrated. they have talent on the court with them and yet they struggle so much :confused:

    How did the celtics have such a good record? They don't look very good.

    LeBron definitely needs a better jumper but the Cavs don't have any precise offensive sets to call on. Everything is an iso with LeBron. This is why the Cavs can't win a championship. Good defensive teams can shut them down too easily.

    I've been saying for some time that Ray Allen is overrated. PP is another story. I don't have any idea what's wrong with him.

    do the cavs run the worst offense in the history of the nba? not only does it ALWAYS go through lebron for a 1 on 5, but they really like to wait until late in the shotclock to get it to him, just to make it harder. it's amazing.

    LMFAO @ "LeBron WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!!" as if he were Hitler. That just a sick jam, though.

    everyone keeps talkin bout the Cavs offense , but Doc Rivers is showing his lack of coaching in this series. They never EVER run set plays , its always ISO's for one of the BIg 3. I think he just stinks as a an X's and O's coach, as does Mike Brown !

    they run a JVG-type of offense with tmac: pick and roll ALL day.

    but it's not a coincidence tmac and lebron run the most pick and rolls in the league for players of their stature (who can score) -> they are such great passers.

    that dunk by bron was ill

    Lebron's dunk to make it a a 9 point game :eek:

    To all those that say he needs a jumpshot, think about his shot 2 years ago. Think about his range right now. If he gets even just a little better jump shot and Gibson matures..... watchout.

    LBJ dunk should be And1. Obviously 2 hand push by KG on LBJ's body.

    What a weak shove by KG on that dunk too. Lift some weights.

    I will say it again...

    Celtics are lucky they are in the East. Had they been in the West they would have been knocked out of playoffs already.

    home teams have been dominating in the playoffs. they probably would defend their homecourt.

    all the good reg. road teams have sucked in the playoffs.

    but boston seriously needs one of their big 3 to step up and just take over. i can't believe paul pierce is not stepping up to take this role.

    Good thing you made the bet for game 2 and not the other ones.

    Ray Allen and Pual Pierce have combined for less than 30 points a game for 3 out of the 4 game of this series.

    Boston should fire Rivers and hire AJ.
