LeBron's Big Time Performance In Boston

    Many journalists and commentators are talking as if they are shocked by LeBron's performance, but this was something that was expected of him.
    Going into last night LeBron was averaging 32.1 points over the previous eight games. What I was pleased to see was how efficient LeBron was shooting the ball going 19 of 26, taking high quality shots as well as making some very difficult ones. LeBron picked his spots on floor where he felt comfortable, and made Boston pay big time. With LeBron not being a great shooter, that 15 foot jumper is his sweet spot scoring in a variety of ways from having his back to the basket to fading away. I saw the LeBron of old, being an aggressive scorer not settling, but getting the shots he wanted. More importantly I saw LeBron James the man, meaning seriousness none of that joking an premature celebrations, it was all business. Sad to say, I didn't believe LeBron needed a performance of this magnitude, but seeing Dwayne Wade is still on vacation LeBron had too.
    Will this same LeBron show up tomorrow night in Miami? I believe, I have no reason to think otherwise, the guy has been consistent throughout the playoffs up to this point. The Celtics that showed up in Boston will not be the same team that shows up tomorrow night. With that being said LeBron will do his usual 30 points 10 rebounds, but in order for Miami to win this game Dwayne Wade MUST show up and perform. But at the same time, LeBron has continued to carry this team, despite Wade being missing in action.
    I'm not going to make any predictions, but I will say this if you miss out on this game, you'll be sorry.
