OK. So if you're from the land of the flaming Cuyahoga, you now have the Blob's permission to cry "Fire!"
That's because one game has become two games in which LeBron James and the Cavaliers have gone up in smoke against the Boston Celtics, and this time it was despite the fact LeBron did his LeBron thing. He went for 42 points and a triple double, and it didn't matter a jot. The Celtics still cruised in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals, 107-94.
Unlike Cleveland, which got 44.6 percent of its points from LeBron, all five Celtics starters, plus Marcus Smart off the bench, scored in double digits. This suggests, as Game 1 suggested, that the Celtics may just have too many weapons for even LeBron in Hero Mode to overcome.
Of course, there still is no such thing as momentum in the NBA. So maybe Hero Mode LeBron and the Cavs go back to Cleveland, win two and reverse the tide.
But right now, the Blob doesn't see how that happens.
Right now.
Stay tuned, in other words.
