Game 3 all eys were on who else Lebron James.  In game 1 and 2 in Boston James shot 8-42 from the field and in game 1 turned the ball over 10 times.  Now some of it has to do with the Celtics defense but a lot of it has to do with James getting exposed that he cannot hit a regular basis hit a jumper.  James now coming home down 2-0 is hoping being back home will turn not only his horrible shooting around but get his team back into the series.  Last season the Cavs were able to do it to the Pistons when they were down 2-0 and came back and won four in a row.  The Cavs starting last night wanted to do the same thing they did to the Pistons now to the Celtics.

The Celtics coming into game 3 has yet to win a playoff game in this year’s playoff.  Boston has lost all three games in the 1st round to Atlanta.  The Celtics had the best road record in basketball in the regular season they were 31-10 and now coming into Cleveland the Celtics had a chance to prove why they had the best record in basketball.   The Cleveland Cavs blew the doors open against the Celtics in the 1st quarter out scoring them 32-13. It just didn’t get any better for the team from Boston.  The Celtics shot 5-16 from the floor at 31%.   Paul Pierce contiunes to struggle in game 1 Pierce had 4 points and in tonights game 3-8 from the floor with 14 points. The Celtics were lead by Kevin Garnett who had 17 for the night. Lebron James had 21 Delonte West 21 and 17 points off the bench from Joe Smith. In all the Cavs had 5 players in double figures.  The Cavs shot 53% from the floor and 10-19 from three point range. James who still hasn’t shot the ball well had this to say”The win is all that matters,” he said. “I can’t worry about how I’m shooting the ball.”  The Cavs with the win is now down 2-1 in the best of seven Game 4 Monday night in Cleveland.
