The Greatness of Lebron

Last night was the greatest performance in the postseason thus far by Lebron. It was even better than when he scored 29 out of the last 30 in Detroit. Here are my thoughts:

1) He scored or assisted on 32 straight points. Words can not explain how amazing of a feat that is. That means he controlled the 4th quarter, and wouldn't let the Cavs lose that game last night. He didn't have his best shooting game (11-24) but he willed an entire city to a win last night. Which begs the question, What the hell took Mike Brown so long to go to that offense? True no one was really hitting shots (sans Boobie, who wasn't really playing until the last2 games), but I take Lebron isolated at the top of the key, one on one, all day. He pissed on Pietrus last night, and fouled out DHoward, and drew 5 fouls of Hedo (who's green card I still want to see, just sayin, who comes from Turkey, honestly?). Last night was Jordan-esque, and in a do or die game.

2) The best quote I've heard in a while came from my Younger Brother last night, while texting:

Me: Bronson looks dead. He's hunched over.

My Bro: You'll have that when you carry the hopes and dreams of an entire city on your back.

It's so true. Has there ever been an athlete that is tied to a city's psyche more than LeBron? I mean, the city literally changes moods after every game. I didn't live in the Chi when Jordan was here, but I can't believe it's anything close ot the heartache that Cleveland feels when Lebron fails. I mean, they EXPECT the man to be great. When's he's not, the whole city goes on suicide watch. It's unbelievable. If he leaves in 2010, I think Cleveland might shut down.

3) Why the hell hasn't Boobie Gibson been playing? Yeah his defense sucks, but he's a better shooter than my boy Delonte, and he has a proven track record of knocking down big shots in the playoffs. Not saying He should be playing for Delonte, but if they need someone to knock down shots, he's teh guy. Not Szcerbiak or Pavlovic. Wally's done. He has nothing left. He's a massive liability on Defense, and when he's not hitting his shot, he's kind of worthless. Boobie can at least handle the ball a little, and guard Alston (who is easily the ugliest man in sports when he smiles) or Anthony Johnson (the 2nd ugliest). When Boobie's hot he's lethal. He needs to be out there.

4) I love Ben Wallace. He's tough, he hammers DHoward, and he has a championship pedigree. Also, he has tons more basketball sense in his pinkie than Varejao has in his entire body. His flopping is out of control. He gave Howard three dunks last night because he was laying on the ground. It's a joke. Ben Wallace, at least roughs up Howard a little. And he's a forceo n the boards, and can "guard" Eashard Lewis a little. He's teh Best option against Dwight, because Andy plays defense like a girl, and Z's way too slow. How much does everyone wish Shaq was wearing a Cleveland Uni right now?


Alright that's all I got......Keep rockin........
