LeBron Proves Haters Right, Chokes In Game 5, Teammates Bail Him Out

LeBron James did absolutely nothing to prove his haters wrong. In a crucial Game 5, all he did was get 48 points and7 assists. Lucky for him, he had some great play behind him from Larry Hughes who scored an incredible 9 points along with a solid assist total of 1. Also leading the charge was Sasha Pavlovic and Drew Gooden who went a combined 5-20. A clearly frustrated James' had this to say after the game, "It's obvious that I suck in the crunch time. 48 points?!? Are you kidding me?!? I should've scored at least 200 tonight. I'm just happy we escaped with a W tonight. I want to thank the entire Cavs organization for surrounding me with the players to carry me to the next level" Not only did he suck offensively, he let Tayshaun Prince run wild on him. In 49 minutes, Prince scored an unheard of10 points on 4-13 shooting. Fortunately for the King, he has a Saturday night date with the Pistons where he will have another shot to show how clutch he is in Game 6 in Cleveland.

Game 5- Cavs-Pistons: Who Gets To Lose To The Spurs?

Will we see this again? ...More than likely, Yes





It's a fight for second place. Who will represent the worst conference in NBA history in the Finals? My pick is the Pistons, who return to the Palace At Auburn Hills to face the streaking Cavs, who have won 2 in a row after getting beaten in the first 2 games of this series. LeBron has shut his haters down the last 2 games, playing great in the clutch. But can he keep it up on the road? Yes, he can. But it won't be enough to save the Cavs. I think Rip Hamilton and Chauncey "Mr.Big Shot" Billups will get out of their slump tonight.


My Prediction:
Pistons-86
Cavs-81
