Game 4: Cavs at Nets

[Legacy]

Sorry no time for a preview. Stacked with homework.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> LeBron James has no intention of letting the New Jersey Nets turn him into an outside shooter and passer again.

While many may point to another triple-double by Jason Kidd or the Nets' ability to rebound and score in transition as the keys to Game 3 on Saturday, the real difference was New Jersey's success in keeping the 22-year-old Cavs superstar on the outside with myriad defenses.

James was double- and triple-teamed. His route along the baseline was closed off. And when he tried to go down the lane, a Nets big man stepped up and blocked his path. The result was a 96-85 victory that cut Cleveland's lead in the series to 2-1.

"There were times where I could have attacked a little bit more,'' James said Sunday before the Cavaliers practiced at John Jay College in New York. "That's why I watch a lot of film.''

The loss ended the Cavaliers' franchise-record, six-game postseason winning streak and a 10-game run dating to the final weeks of the regular season. It also puts the pressure on James and the Cavaliers for the first time in the playoffs, with New Jersey looking to tie the series in Game 4 on Monday night at Continental Airlines Arena.</div>

Somebody please shoot Vince. What a bum, how do you turn it over?

Ugh...oh well. VC should've had that play!! The game wasn't all him though, RJ missing 2 dunks and a layup killed the Nets too.

Looks like another second round exit. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Cavs, but we should be able to beat them. Nets should not be at the brink of being eliminated.

well you see when his back was turned a help defender came over and knocked the ball out and he tried to save it and well ****** up, what a ass lol

I saw how he turned it over...but at such a crucial moment you should be more aware of what your doing. He set up his offense a few seconds too late, and he seemed lost.

ehh i think it was spoec to be a passout to kidd for the win, cause like reggie said kidd stayed on the side so it wasn't a iso, but he still ucked up

I'm serious, I could coach this team, all it requires is telling guys to iso for VC or RJ. Seriously draw up a goddam play, even Jordan had plays at the end of the game to get him the ball in a scoring postion. Teams are figuring out how to stop the VC/RJ iso plays for ****s sake.
