Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James dunks against the Boston Celtics in the first quarter of Game 3 in the NBA basketball Eastern Conference semifinals  Saturday, May 10, 2008, in Cleveland.

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.
