Well Cavs fans how do feel today? Better? You should. The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off their most complete performance in the 2010 NBA Playoffs. They came out with energy and fire from the start, and it started with the reigning two-time MVP. So has the attitude changed here in "Believeland"? Are the talks of a Curse shelved after that dominating road performance?
LeBron was aggressive out the gates, scoring 21 points in the 1st quarter and 28 points total in the 1st half. What elbow? I think the elbow may be just fine after tonight. He set a franchise record with the 21 in the 1st quarter. Boston had no answer for the King. Tonight was his night. And when he goes so do his teammates. The Cavaliers shot a blistering 59% from the field last night. It seemed that no matter who was shooting, the ball was going in from everywhere. They ended up with all 5 starters in double figures, and even Delonte West. It was an impressive performance by the Cavaliers who to date have looked very average in the Playoffs. Cleveland came out last night and put together its best game since Game 4 in Chicago. They also served Boston their worst Home Playoff loss in franchise history beating the Celtics by 29.
Now the question is what team will show up on Sunday? Will it be the well-oiled freight train that ripped the Celtics by 29 in Game 3, or will it be the team that was embarrassed on their home court in Game 2? My bet is you see the Game 3 Cavaliers. The opportunity to go up 3-1 on this experienced group of Celtics is too good to pass up. They seem to have that sense of urgency after the Game 2 loss as well. I think that loss may be the best thing that has happened to them, just because of the fact they realized they must play 48 minutes. They can't just turn it on whenever they want.
