Lebron James and Paul Pierce went back and forth.  This game was 1988 all over again with Larry Bird Vs Dominque Wilkins.. Bird who had 34 and Wilkins 47 put on a classic and now 20 years later James and Pierce had the same type of game.  James who struggled with his shot the first 6 games of the series saved the best for last.  James played 47 minutes and was 14-29 from the floor and had 45 points.  The only problem for James is he doesn’t have a team around him that can score.  Delonte West had 15 and no other teamate was in double figures.  Ilgauskas only took 8 shots and was 2-8 from the floor.  Ilgauskas who average 14 points per game during the season put in a poor performance in game 7.  Wally Szczerbaik who came in from a trade for Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden was horrible.  Sczerbaik was 0-3 from the floor no points.  Sczzerbiak average 11 points in the season didn’t show in game 7.  Bottom line it was James and piece of West for the Cavs and nothing else. As for the Celitcs Paul Pierce shot 13-23 from the floor.  Pierce had 41 but he wasn’t the only Celtic to help win game 7.  Kevin Garnett 13 points 13 assist and a blast from the past P.J. Brown had 10 points 6 rebounds also Eddie House who out there husstling.  The Celtics who haven’t won a playoff game yet on the road is going to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.”It is a great feeling, “We knew this was going to be a tough, tough series.” Paul Pierce.”I have always been a winner, and I am a winner,” he said. “You are just disappointed that the season is over we have to get better the Pistons, Magic, Celtics etc have all gotten better in the Eastern Conference we must do the same.” Lebron James.  The Boston Celtics move and will take on the Pistons Tuesday in Boston.
