Shaq was in double digits in points and had a better shooting %. They lost by 9 points, how many of those turnovers led to points for Boston? Looking quickly through the play by play on the ESPN boxscore, I saw at least 6 points come from those. Some how his supporting cast helped lead the Cavs to the best record in the NBA but now they're garbage again? Or was he able to obtain that record by himself this season? The guy's great, but he has a bad habit of shrinking when it becomes too big for him. He passes the ball to someone else too often in that situation. He's not going to win a championship unless he can have someone else carry him like Dwayne Wade, who can make the big shot when he can't, or until he matures enough to not let those moments get bigger than him. He needs to quit crying everytime he's called for a foul and everytime he's slapped on the arm he needs to quit acting like he needs an ambulance. Just play, be the unstoppable monster he should be, and be what some of you people make him out to be.
Last night he just did okay, the ft% means nothing, wow he 5 out of ALL 5 of his ft's, Lebron hit 9 out of 12...still means nothing. Lebron had 12 more rebounds and shot more shots also, plus 6 more assists, which you would think the PG would have more assists than the forward. Mo had been a no show in the other games, letting Rondo bend him over. Lebron has one bad game and here come the haters, of course they were nowhere to be found when he put up 35, 24, 28, 22 and last nights 27...but that 15 point performance really shows how he's choked in the playoffs. And of course Shaq would have a better %, when you don't shoot further than 6 feet out, you'll have a great %. Who else had a double digit night? That's right, no one else on the Cavs team scored more that a whopping 7 points. He lead the series in ppg, think the playoffs too and I believe only behind Rondo in assists...yet the moment got bigger than him. He's given some of the best playoff performances ever, he doesn't choke, he does his part...always. His team was definitely great around him during the season, but a no-show in the playoffs and esp this series. Play like garbage and they'll be talked about like garbage, they have it easier than anyone else, no spotlight on them. No ones talking about their **** poor performance against the Celtics, but the guy that averaged 27 a game is the one to blame. He's also just no "whining" when he gets fouled 10 times harder than the average player, the guy is huge, he gets the hell knocked out of him every time he's fouled because it'll be a sure and1 if they don't. He's shown the most maturity I have ever seen with someone at his age and pressure, he makes the veterans look like 13 year olds, I really don't know what else anyone could ask for the guy...really, he performs every single night, back-to-back MVP's, puts up close to 30 a night, with an assist here and couple of rebounds there from averaging a triple-double...but he needs to do more?

First of all can everyone on this ****ing board drop this 10 year old outdated "haters" bull****. Add booyah and wassup to your repertoir while you're at it. Last night was not a good game for him. Having a quadruple double with one of those doubles being turnovers negates a lot of those other numbers. There were two others that scored more than 7 points as well, Shaq, and Williams.

No. Not always. Having double digit turnovers and scoring 15 points is not ALWAYS doing his part. Out of an 80+ game schedule and the playoffs that guy ever having less than 20 more than once is a failure. He's just that much better than everyone else.

His team didn't play any differently in the playoffs than they did during the season. They're not great, but they're good enough to win as long as James is the monster he should be. Who the hell isn't talking about "their **** poor performance against the Celtics"? Everyone one of you nut huggers is doing it.

He's already gotten to the point of if anyone gets near him, he gets awarded 2+1 or 2 from the stripe. There was a foul last night on Tony Allen where he litterally didn't touch him. Not body, not arm, not anything. There was a ft of air between the two of them. And again, not it's not every single night he performs. Scoring 15 ever is unacceptable unless he's taken out at half in a blowout.

90% of Lebron's shots should come from inside 6 ft. He's one of the most physically dominating players to ever play the game. He doesn't need to be shooting 3's unless there's nobody within 10 ft of him. Even then, why? Just flush the ******* down the hoop and send a washed up Kevin Garnett, Paul Peirce, and Ray Allen down the basket with the ball.
Re: Whats wrong with King James??
btw...He does get too much of the blame in a situation like this. He's far from blameless though. The last 2 games were a bigger fault to him than the others though. His numbers looked good but the way he got them is one of the reasons they lost.
