There's a huge difference: Cleveland is an extremely good defensive and rebounding team. Certainly better in those aspects than Boston sans-Garnett.

Z didn't show up to play tonight and the Cavs still went to town on Atlanta.

LeBron's get his broom out again.

Not surprised. Cleveland is the far superior team. Atlanta doesn't stand a chance. I thought Miami would have given Cleveland a tougher series.

And he'll still average around 1 foul per 48 minutes even though he hacks the living hell out of people and commits multiple 50/50 charge/block fouls.   ;)

Just had to get you going.

I'd laugh if it weren't so absurd. 10 rebounds, 3 steals for James, still 0 fouls. I can't think of another player who's "reputation" for defense is so dependent on the officials turning a blind eye.

On the "Who is going to get more FTs this series the Hawks or Lebron" question tonight:

LeBron 9
Hawks 18

Of course take Josh Smith out of the equation and its

LeBron 9
Rest of Hawks 8

I watched the whole first half and saw at least three plays where LeBron could have been called for a foul. He got none. So I shut it off and came to the computer. He ended up with none in 34 minutes. Heck, even the greatest defenders this game has ever seen made at least one foul in 34 minutes. The way he gets preferential treatment is a bigger embarrassment than the Tim Donoughy scandal was.

5 fouls in 5 games and he's played almost 200 minutes.

I thought the same thing but what is even more shocking is that in the 3rd quarter Josh Smith got rejected  by behind both by Joe Smith (not sure) and LeBron, it was a hard foul (Smith ended up on the floor and stayed there for a minute or so) and the refs called a foul. I thought "finally he gets called for a foul!", but guess what? The refs called the foul on Joe Smith. ::)

It was actually Wally that was in front and fouled Smith.  Lebron hit the ball.  Sorry, but that's what happened.  Not saying he shouldn't have had a foul in the game, but he didn't foul Smith on that one

^ There was actually a play with LeBron & Joe Smith, where LeBron did hit the wrist of the player, but it was after Joe Smith bodied whoever it was.

Other than that, I didn't notice any glaring "misses". I'd like for the poster above to detail the three fouls they "could" have called on LeBron in the 1st half. I haven't stumbled upon any Hawks fans complaining about this - it's mostly Celtic fans ;)

During the regular season :
LeBron : 37.7 mins, 1.7 PFs, 10 techs
Andre Iguodala : 39.9 mins, 1.9 PFs, 4 techs
Kevin Durant : 39.0 mins, 1.8 PFs, 1 tech
Brandon Roy : 37.2 mins, 1.6 PFs, 2 techs
Derrick Rose : 37.0 mins, 1.5 PFs, no techs
Allen Iverson : 36.7 mins, 1.5 PFs, 5 techs
Jamal Crawford : 38.1 mins, 1.4 PFs, 4 techs
Tayshaun Prince : 37.3 mins, 1.3 PFs, no techs

That was DIS-GUS-TING.

I feel the Heat would have given the Cavs a harder challenge,probably wouldn't beat them,but Wade would make LBJ work more.Atlanta looks afraid of LBJ,especially their Bigs.
