Last night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James’ line was 34-6-5 on 56% shooting, while playing the entire second half with 4 fouls. Many talking heads, okay just Stephen A. Smith, will deem this an ‘off’ game for LBJ, proving just how high he has set his own bar.
In any event, the Cavs won and pulled within one game of punching a ticket to a Golden State rematch.
This shouldn’t be surprising to anyone except me, an avid Celtics fan who believes that an Isaiah Thomas-less Celts team can advance (shut up). What may be a surprise to most was LeBron James missing his patented tomahawk dunk on a wide-open breakaway after a gorgeous pass from Kevin Love. The internet made jokes. Here are some ones that made me giggle.
