with paul pierce playing like shit the whole seriesTrueblue23 wrote: Celtics playing like a team on their last wind right now, which is scary.
They need to collapse on him. Rondo is making it look too easy.wes_mantooth wrote: Rondo is the best player on the floor right now. Not a knock on Lebron, more of a knock on the Cleveland defenders that are making him look like Bob Cousy.
What else can the Cavs do to slow him down? Mo not getting it done and neither is Parker. Lebron may be the best defender but wouldn't that drain his energy having to stick Rondo a whole game?wes_mantooth wrote: Rondo is the best player on the floor right now.

Nothing. Parker, Delonte, and Mo have to force him to jumpshots. When he is in the lane....he is lethal. Shaq needs to plant his ass and the Cavs guards need to play defense.mallymal614 wrote:What else can the Cavs do to slow him down? Mo not getting it done and neither is Parker.

Pierce has been playing like shit, Im would take my chances. They haven't done shit without Rondo leading the way.wes_mantooth wrote:Nothing. Parker, Delonte, and Mo have to force him to jumpshots.

You can't have Lebron on him or Pierce will go nuts more than likely. It is the only matchup that heavily favors the Celts, but they are taking full advantage.
I had a post on the in-game thread that read "Good job Boston, you're about to lose this game" because the Cavs came storming back.. I FULLY expected LeBron to take over and win this game.2quik4u wrote: Not to start a war here but wtf was Lebron doing at the end? Kenny Smith made a point a couple weeks ago on a major difference between Kobe and LeBron. Kobe senses "the moment" better and knows when it's his time to step up and make a big play. He welcomes that pressure and lives with the result, success or failure.
LeBron still doesn't have that sense of "the moment." He was nowhere to be seen down the stretch of this game. When they were behind he stopped shooting and being aggressive.
I'm saying this as a Cavs fan. LeBron (and the Cavs) don't have a killer instinct yet. When people compare him to the all-time greats, that is one of the things that is missing.Trueblue23 wrote:I had a post on the in-game thread that read "Good job Boston, you're about to lose this game" because the Cavs came storming back..
