I hate it when people try to discredit a great performance based on the quality of team. "its the bucks" give me a break. Lebron is freaking amazing. Hey, the suns scored 140 in three games in a row uhhh errr "its the clippers and the thunder" uh NO, its their new offensive scheme! Are you saying the would have done that with Porter trying to run Kerr's half court defensive minded crap? NO, not even against a college team.
He didn't do ****. That was another flop by a guy who wouldn't be in the NBA if he couldn't flop. The refs should never ever call a foul against Varejao's man. Let him get killed. It'd be funny.
I just watched the first 3-4 minutes of the 2nd half and it was awesome! Yes, a fluke but it was an awesome fluke. The Milwaukee crowd reaction, the Cavs announcers and the Cavs bench made it even more fun. LeBron knew he was in a zone and hurried up the floor to shoot the ball as if there was a time limit to the zone, like during a video game. 16 points in 2:19! One of them was at least from 28/29 feet away.
They gave Big Z a tech, but only Charlie V was ejected since he got a Flagrant 2. If Varajeo didn't flop and overreact the situation probably would not have escalated.
These threads 70% of the time are a jinx. Lebron scored 6 pts after this was started, lol. 6 freaking points.

I saw the highlights and some of the shots he took were Orlando T-Mac-esque. They're not going to beat Boston in the playoffs if LeBron is going to shoot up 10+ threes a game.
I think few people realize this. Lebron is a great player, like Kobe. But basketball is a team sport. There are only so many shot attempts a team can make in a game. If you have only one player making a majority of those shots, then you are making the other 4 players useless. If you're going to win a championship, then you need superstars and your role players to be consistent game in and game out. Boston beat LA last year easily because their role players brought their game every night while their big 3 rotated on the offense. With LA, all you had to do was slow kobe down. I in no form or fashion want LeBron in the following offseason.
you clearly never watch the cavs, lebron averages 7.4 assists and 7.1 per rebounds per game, bringing his all around game. it's not as if he averages 55 points per game with all of his team mates being useless, lebron only does this type of thing sometimes and it's only ever in the regular season. the only time he has done this in the post season was when he beat detroit in game 6 I believe(maybe it was game 5 I forget, it was his 40 something points), and that was because he had to take over the game or it was over, that cavs team that year had no business being in the finals.
Lebron was in the zone plain and simple. The only time when you should force shots is when you're in the zone and hitting. But don't forget he also had 9 ASSISTS. That means in addition to his 55 he accounted for at least 18 other points. If he scored 55 points and only had like 3 assists and the Cavs lost then I'd think you can nitpick and have a point. I think LeBron was 1 piece away (Trading Wally Z for a legit 3rd piece) away from winning it all. With that said I think the addition of Mo Williams may be enough to still get it done this year as long as the role players step up when needed. I can't get over the excitement of the Cavs players on the bench. Grown ass millionaire men who are supposed to be to cool for school jumping up and down like a bunch of college kids on a no name Cinderella squad upsetting it's way towards the sweet 16. Nice to see. THE CAVS WILL DEFEAT BOSTON AND COME OUT OF THE EAST.
btw I would like to mention that in that video, the guy who uploaded it should have just ran it in 'real time' with no cutting, because it doesn't show how great the performance was. I watched on a stream and all of those possessions were in a row, so there was nothing in between all of those 3s lebron made, hopefully someone uploads the game soon on one of the basketball torrent sites and I'll upload it on youtube with no cuts.
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=52731882 this will do for now, it's a ghetto rip as in it's someone recording the screen, but there's no cutting in between so you can see how great this was, may have to turn up volume way up if you want to hear sound.
Have some of you haters never watched LeBron play? He never shoots 3's from that far out, he only did that this one game because he was hot. By the way, he had 9 assists and shot over 50% from the floor and scored 55 points with under 30 shot attempts.
