It's not even that he has to score, he just needs to quit bogging down the offense. Everytime he touches the ball, all movement comes to a screeching halt. He holds the ball or dribbles it around for 10 seconds, waits for the clock to get down to 3 and then tries to chuck up an off balance shot.

Hey you took that out of context. Do you work for the media? 
Cavs down 8 at half. 44-36.
Man I love when we have those 12 point quarters...

We WILL see a different Lebron and Cavs team in the second half. This one's in the bag. We've got 'em right where we want them. Lebron's too good a player to stay in this slump. He's got a little bit of something we call heart.

I'll wait till the end if the 3rd to make that assessment but we're just looking around, apparently waiting for the 25 point basket to come down.
Sorry but Boston isn't that good. We're just not challenging the rim or moving the ball. We're playing too much one on one basketball and no one is stepping up. We're getting wide open shots but we couldn't throw it in the ocean right now.

Just think about how bad this series would be without Z.

As a team, this game has been a playoff version of our regular season struggles. Droughts on the offensive end, lack of urgency, poor ballhandling, etc.
Never thought i would say this, but AV will be gone as soon as we find a trading partner...
I heart winning

Same old, same old....poor offensive coaching+average players around Lebron = whats happening.
Some fans are frustrated about Lebron but the guy has not been put into a situation where he can thrive, his GM and coach haven't held up their part. I have not been one to critize Mike Brown, but enough is enough, his total incompitence baffles me.
Until we use Lebron as a SF/SG, and not a PG, and then acquire a real PG, we will not have a consistent sucessful offense.
The Celtics aren't as good as their record shows, and their "Big Bad" defense doesn't look overly great to me, lots of open cavs.
Hope this thing changes when we come back to c-town.

This team looks like it's already on the flight back to Cleveland. No hustle, no nothing. I'm cringing everytime Lebron gets the ball ... I haven't done that since Larry Hughes was pulling up for 22 foot jump shots.

 Boston's defense IS that good. The shots they are giving us are shots we don't make often enough. Also...no point guard. Its like the Browns and lack of offensive linemen for 7 years.

When Wally isn't making shots the guy is pretty much worthless. I'd rather have Sasha in there at this point, atleast he can stick with Allen on D.

If I'm Brown I put in Daemon Jones and hope to pull one out of the butt.

Wally looks 3 steps slower than everyone else.
I love how LeBron finally makes a jump shot, so all of a sudden he is on fire so he throws up a 3 with 2 guys in his face.
The kid is totally confused and frustrated.

These refs are freaking TERRIBLE. Nice replay there. LOL. We're playing bad enough, we don't need the refs giving them free points. Andy maybe breathed on him there.

I'm not sure Lebron could buy a bucket from Home Depot tonight. He had some decent drives, which are 200% better than jacking up off balance threes ... but even the layups aren't falling. I'm not sure what's wrong with him.

I'd fine Brown 10k for every minute Lebron is in the game... He needs to find himself. 19% from the field in the past 2 games
Hunter + Dart = This is the way.

He played a lot like this against Detroit last year (as they mentioned). Only had 29 combined points while we went down 0-2. He's taking a few bad shots here and there but for the most part he's taken pretty good shots, he just can't get anything to go down. This team desperately needs another scorer in the draft. We have shooters (kind of ) but no true #2 option.

Around 3:40 into the game, he went to the bench and almost passed out on his feet. The sideline reporter said it was vertigo.....and that he could come back but I haven't heard a recent update.

It's not that it isn't good, but its not as good as the Cavs are making it look. A better team would exploit their weakness's better.
We are so easy to defend its disgusting to watch, lebron top of the key, dribble dribble.
We just plain out suck offensively, yeah Lebron isn't playing well, if we could ever use him properly, up to his potential like getting a POINT GUARD and a head coach with a brain that has more than just defense on it, we might go somewhere.
I agree gotta get a real PG, and like right now.

i knoew he went out I just didn't hear what happened or what it was
z has scored almost 1/2 the teams points...
west has been aggressive
lebron's head isn't in the game
wild thing is just a tool and always has been... IMO
Wallace needs to get better
Boobie hasn't shot a 3 that I've seen
Hunter + Dart = This is the way.

We are better than the hawks. If Atlanta can give them series, we should be able to.

Thats the problem with Boobie, he's such a dangerous scorer but he isn't assertive enough. He could easily be a 15-17 PPG scorer but he just disappears sometimes. That and our ball movement has SUCKED tonight. YOU DON'T BEAT GOOD DEFENSE WITH THE DRIBBLE. I think I'm going to take a freaking ad out in the Plain Dealer that says ATTN: Mike Brown and Co. REVERSE THE GD BALL.

I'm sure the Cavs will play better at home, especially LeBron, so Boston needs to keep this up. The series could change quick if Boston lets Cleveland win in Game 3, especially if it is by a fairly large margain.
I hope Boston wins, but good luck guys.
