So it's official, the Celtics are in deep shit. In most playoff series', there are signature plays that can change the momentum of an entire playoff series. Back in the day, it was MJ's fake dunk switch to lefty layup. Later on, it was Reggie's back to back 3-pointers on the Knicks in less than 8 seconds. Kobe connected with Shaq on a monster of an alleyoop against the Portland Trail Blazers. Dwyane Wade had that impossible layup over his head flying away from the basket. Even last year LeBron James had that punching on Rasheed Wallace's head. Looks like LeBron can add another series turning dunk to his resume.
It seems as if the Celtics simply dissapear on the road, and the one person who has had better postseason numbers than season numbers (Garnett) has been added to a Lebron career highlight reel and is now going back to Boston in a best of three.
Analysts kept saying the Celtics could not keep relying on LeBron playing poorly and not blowing the team out. Although LeBron did not completely dominate the game, he did hit a couple of clutch threes along with this punching.
Bron finished with 21 points, but you gotta believe that James' confidence is sky high, and seeing what James did last year to an experienced playof team on the road in a virtual must win game 5, the Celtics need to keep LeBron out of the lane or else it will be Detroit all over again.
Worst off, it will be a dissapointing end to one of the most talented teams in NBA history
