Soooo. Remember the other day when the Blob said let's not get overheated about the way the Pacers made the Cavaliers look old and washed-up in Game 1? How we really needed to wait and see what happened in Game 2?
Well ... here's what happened in Game 2: Cavaliers 100, Pacers 97.
Here's what also happened: LeBron James strapped 46 and 12 on the Pacers.
Here's what we can glean from that: That all the talk -- from media, not the Pacers -- about how the Pacers actually figured out a way to slow down LeBron in Game 1 had the easily predictable outcome. Which is that LeBron took it as a challenge. And when LeBron takes something as a challenge, you pretty much just want to get out of his way, because he's going to do what he wants regardless of whether or not you do get in his way.
That's what happened in Game 2. And what clearly is going to have to happen for the Cavs the rest of this series to knock out the Pacers, who clearly have the superior team.
Which is why the Blob said if it comes down to a Game 7, LeBron will somehow find a way to keep the Cavs from losing, just as he did last night.
On to Game 3.
