With his Cleveland Cavaliers down a point in the closing seconds of Game 3 against the Washington Wizards on Friday night, LeBron James drove to the basket and showed an incredible, inhuman display of strength.
LeBron bulled his way to the basket and willed the ball into the hoop. He thought he was fouled (maybe he was), while the Wizards felt like James walked (he did). But no whistle was blown, and it was up to LeBron to leap in the air, hang and absorb contact from the 248-pound Michael Ruffin and finish the play.
Lebron broke the record for most points by a player in first road playoff game with 41 pts. He broke it by 1 point.
To be honest. I don't know how the cavs are going to win this series. It was a miracle for lebron to step it up the 2 min of this game to come back and win with his strength. As a team we played like shit. We had the lead for 55 seconds throughout that whole game. Why did we play like shit? Everyone was ice cold from the feild...Donyell Marshall shot 1-8, Larry Hughes shot 6-15, Zydrunas Ilgauskas shot 4-12. This wizards clipped the wings of the cavaliers offense.
"double team him? nah.. we are going to clip lebrons wings and make him have no assist. Let him score and 40 and thats it. We cannot allow lebron to get his teamates involved" - gilbert arenas
Game 2 and 3... Lebron has had a total of 4 assist. Clipping his wings, they did exactly that. Caron butler and Jeffries have done a great job making sure of that. All year... this is something that i haven't seen before. Never in my wildest dream i would thought that a team could stop lebron from distributing the ball to his teamates. This wizards forced him to 10 turnovers!!! in game 2. Those 10 turnovers should have been assist. Those 10 turnovers were either stolen or deflected in the passing lanes.
Gilbert Arenas, one of my favorite to watch. This man damn near took the win away from us. The man was doin everything from driving to the hole...beating are man for the layup. Nobody could stay with him. That was frustrating. He could sit back and knock down the 3. Butler was killing us early in the game but the cavs were able to shut him downin 4th to eventually get the win by lebron 4 Q clutch put up.
