    This.

    Scary thing is, it was a quiet 21.

    The scarier thing is that he still hasn't hit his peak.

    Morey has a tall task ahead of him. If they build a decent team around LeBron over the next several years, wherever he plays, we may be looking at another Jordan like run. Maybe better?

    Those were 21 mentally weak points though. No credit awarded.

    But it's good to see the Cavs play good defense and Lebron is being aggressive. Lebron can't do this every quarter and score 84 pts overall (because as mentioned before he's mentally weak) so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the team can contribute on the offensive end in the next 3 quarters.

    And by interesting I mean I might hug or punch my TV by the end of the night.

    Kobe has 4 rings.

    LeBron has none.

    LeBron still >>> Kobe.

    BTW I'm pissed off Mark Price worked with Rondo and that they keep mentioning it. And I'm a huge Price fan.

    You can see players around him feeding off his energy and stepping up their games.

    The intangibles.

    This dude has it all.

    The Boston big 3 have become Rondo's supporting cast.

    Yes, Lebron is a mentally weak choker who can't play through any injury and goes missing in big games. What a loser

    Most definitely. Rondo is a beast. I also have to credit the old guys who haven't let their egos get in the way and accept it.

    As great as Rondo has become, he doesn't touch LeBron (obviously).

    Great wings always seem to trump great PGs.

    Mo Williams is an expert at laying eggs as soon as the playoffs start. Hate that smug look he has on his face.

    It's eerily similar to the Mike Brown "I'm just along for the ride" smirk.

    It must be nice to hitch a ride on the LeBron James Express.

    I was thinking the same thing Rondo is now their best player.

    Look at it this way, the better players are, the better for the NBA. I hope Rondo blows up next season into a mega-star. Of course, that's easy for me to say since he's in the Eastern Conference.

    Glad to see the Cavs maintained their intensity for the 2nd quarter. Two more to go. Anything can happen, just like in game 2 when the Celts almost let the Cavs back in with a similar lead.

    I expect Pierce to be the major guy to try to step up for the Celts in the 2nd half. He's been quiet this series so far.

    Obviously Price is not a traitor. He was just trying to help another NBA player. And it speaks well for Price that Rondo sought him out of all people.

    But at this exact moment it feels like he's a traitor. That's just the intense fan in me at this moment. Still love him though. Still have his rookie card which I'm sure has lost value since I bought it with the allowance money I saved up when I was a kid.

    Hey, Hakeem worked with Kobe. Nuff said.
