Before Monday night’s Game 2 matchup, LeBron James was presented with his second consecutive Most Valuable Player award. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers – other than a desperate fourth quarter run – that’s as good as things would get in Cleveland. For the second straight game, the Wine and Gold came out with very little fire. But unlike Saturday’s Game 1 win, they never really found it – falling behind by 23 points and running out of gas after a late rally came up short. When it was all said and done, the Celtics had stolen homecourt advantage from Cleveland – taking the 104-86 win on Monday night at The Q. LeBron James led both clubs with 24 points, half of which he netted during Cleveland’s fourth-quarter rally. The two-time MVP was 7-for-15 from the floor and 10-of-15 from the stripe. James added seven boards, four assists, three steals and a pair of blocked shots, but only sporadically looked like the player who accepted the hardware before Monday’s matchup. He wasn’t his usual MVP-self on that day.

Damn Williams is 1/9 from the field including 0/4 3fg and also Lebron damn with 5 TO. Aw free agency talks with LeBron just got noisy.

i continued watching till the 4th, but it really was ugly. if i remember right, they never got the lead down to single digits. lebron and antawn also miss threes that could have cut the lead down to six.
^the score was one thing, but they way they played was... disappointing to say at least. They looked like they didn't care. SMH
there it goes again.. just like what happened last year with the orlando magic... why can't the cavaliers close the series into 2-0, with them having the homecourt advantage?? i really hope they could snatch one game in boston and win it all... still, lebron is my number one player...
;-) it is nice poster,,
.. i hope that the next season are posible to enter the cavaliers,, i want to see LEBRON JAMES to become a MVP of all season, better luck next time..
