-----------------------------------------
King James vs. The Big 3 is gonna be a great series. After the Celtics 7 game series with the Hawks many question if they are for real. The Hawks were able to exploit the Celtics with their athleticism, athleticism that the Cavs dont have. But the Cavs do have shooters who can keep the Celtics from double teaming James and are a better defensive unit overall. Im gonna go with my gut and take King James pulling off the upset in 6 games.

C's in 6

Lonestar13 · 05-05-2008, 01:52 PM

the LeBron's in 6, with a hopefully 80% Big Ben guarding KG it won't be as easy for the Celts to dominate down low

Anavax · 05-05-2008, 03:35 PM

I dunno why, but I think the Cavs will take this series.

King Taharqa · 05-07-2008, 01:33 AM

Boston takes Game 1

Kevin Garnett hit the game winning shot with 20 seconds left to give the Celtics their first win of the series. He led Boston with 28 points and was the only 1 of the Big 3 to have a good game offensively. King James had a horrible night shooting 2-18, scoring 12 points in the loss. He also had 10 turnovers. The Cavs will try again to steal 1 in Boston on Thursday night.

King Taharqa · 05-08-2008, 10:19 PM

Celtics go up 2-0

X-Clown · 05-08-2008, 11:45 PM

LeBron has been awful so far, but I'll agree with Stephen A. Smith (god I hate saying that), his supporting cast has been absolutely terrible in this series and with the beating he took in that Wizards' series, he looks like he's off of his game. But the Celtics have a done one hell of a job defending him...

chabber · 05-10-2008, 12:03 AM

Fact: In his last 3 playoff series, Lebron is 35-160 from outside 3ft. That's 22% on anything that's not a layup.

goodlay · 05-10-2008, 01:52 PM

Celtics will wrap this one up in 5.

King Taharqa · 05-10-2008, 10:13 PM

Cavs take Game 3

Delonte West & Wally Z combined for 38 points, hitting 6-12 from the 3 PT line, and dished out 8 assists to lead the Cavs to a 108-84 blowout of the Celtics. King James dropped 21 points, but continues to shoot poorly from the field. Game 4 will be on Monday in Cleveland.

King Taharqa · 05-12-2008, 09:51 PM

KING JAMES DOES IT AGAIN!!!

21 points, 13 assists, & 6 rebounds for James who leads Cleveland to the 88-77 win in Game 4. Series is now tied 2-2 heading back to Boston for Game 5. The Big 3 continues to shoot poorly and look horrid on the road in the playoffs.

Kevin Greene · 05-12-2008, 10:13 PM

Gotta love home cooking so far for these playoffs.
Give props where it's due however. "King James" is playing like the court jester. He's shooting like 27% so far this series. 7-20 and his field goal percentage went up.

Kobe and CP3 are ~ 50%.
Szczerbaik, Smith, Varejao and Gibson performed in this contest.

I'm not really a Lebron fan, but that dunk was nasty.

True, but based on his field goal percenatge against the Celtics he only makes it 1 out of 4 tries.

I loved how King James posterized the so called "DPOY"
