That game was just sick. I've watched a lot of playoff basketball, and I can't remember a performance like that. He scored the last 25 points!!!! And there were not many free throws in that stretch either. Those jumpers were just insane. Corner fade away w/ Tayshaun in my face, behind my back dribble over Chauncey from inside the 3-point arc, dribbles past the double team to shoot a hanging 20 foot jumper from the wing, I'll do the same thing from the other wing and make it a three this time to tie it. Ridiculous!!! Oh yeah, back to back dunks to go up one and tie it in regulation. I was trying to think of some playoff stuff that compared to what I saw, and of course Jordan comes to mind. That game against Utah in the finals when he had the flu and still took over. His "in the zone" game against Portland in the finals. I also remember Bird and 'Nique in 88 going back and forth and pretty much do all the scoring for their teams in a second round game 7.

I just don't think I've ever seen a player literally carry his whole team for such a long stretch of time in so many critical possessions. AMAZING!!

I must tell you being a Detroit fan can be extremely frustrating....

In addition to the mostly boring play, we have to put up with our team playing whenever they feel like it.

But hats off to that performance by LeBron. Simply unbelievable.

Of course lost in all this is the BS ejection of McDyess to the flopping Varejo. Oh well.

29 out of the last 30 points? I didn't believe it when they first said it. I'm still not sure I believe it, it's so incredible. Unfriggingreal.

That was a BS ejection, but not because Andy flopped! Hasty call from the officials, I'd say.

How dyou flop when you get clotheslined, anyway?

By squiriming and rolling on the floor like you just tore both ACL's.

After seeing the replay the foul was pretty unnecessary. I'm just thinking back to the heyday of basketball (mid-80s to early-90's) where that wouldn't have caused a second glance.

...and when the money was on the line, he took it hard to the hoop and threw down those 2 dunks. But he (and the rest of the team) need to step it up in the 3rd quarter and make some more free-throws.

I bet you loved it when the Bad Boys beat the crap out of Jordan for 3 years in the playoffs.

Hilarious how the 1-2 times he gives up the ball, nobody else can make a shot 2 feet from the basket.

Not the case saturday night. Being originally from the cleveland area, I'm pulling hard for the CAVS. We're in desperate need of a sports championship!

Bad night for LeBron. He needs to develop a mid range jumper (and quick).

That and stop passing to Varejao. Dude couldn't make a shot if his life depended on it.
