Wow, this was a really bad day for me. LOL. BOTH of my teams were beaten. I think Cavs actually underestimated Boston and they paid dearly for it. Now they are in quite the difficult situation. Honestly someone needs to punch Lebron in the face and tell him to stop jacking up 3's when a defender is right there in his face. I mean honestly what the hell was that?

I think it was less the cavs underestimating them, and more the Cavs having a freakishly bad night shooting.  Up until about the 3rd quarter they were winning everything fundamentals wise.  They were killing them hustle wise, they were going to the line like CRAZY.

They just weren't hitting anything.  With turnover and Freethrow differentials like the cavs had in the first 2 quarters... they should of been up by 15-20.  Instead they were down by nearly as much.

Then you had of all people Rasheed Wallace waking up and being the leading scorer for Boston in the first half.

Wallace was 3/4 from 3Pt range...

 

He usually shoots an abominal .283%.

As for Lebron... I'd imagine he's protecting his elbow... I mean, i'm sure you noticed... even when he did drive he didn't do his usual linebacker "Force through and get the shot off" move... instead he didn't power through, he still got shooting fouls but the ball rarely went up towards the rim.  He let guys wrap him up.

I gotta think it's REALLY bothering him. 

True, actually I personally may have underestimated how much trouble his elbow may have caused him.

Yeah, I forgot another way you could tell... on his dunks, they were just light dunks, not the usual tomahawks or power slams.

Should prove interesting though... if it ends up healing more over the next few days (hopefull)... Lebron could break into the classic "FU" game where he goes off for a Triple Double with 45 points.
