The last time LeBron James was down 3 games to 2 in an NBA Finals game?
He'd go on to win Game 6 and 7 enroute to NBA championship in 2013.
The previous time before that? He'd explode with a 40-point performance in Game 6 on the road before winning the series in Game 7.
This man is not human.
but i believe lebron actually had a team playing with him in 2013, did he not? i make this point since this year he has no real team playing with him.
lets face it, tonight, aside from lebron and thompson, the cavs were completely excretable. outside of lebron's 11 assists, the entire cavs team had 6.
smith, shump, delly, and mozgov shot a
combined 10 for 34. j.r. was classic j.r. and chucked up 14 shots from 3 point land, making 4 of them.
james had 14 rebounds. everyone else not named thompson on the cav team combined for 13 rebounds.
lebron put out a truly heroic 40 points tonight as part of a triple double. and his team lost by 13 points.
the next game may be in cleveland, but it also is in less than 48 hours and includes a cross country flight. lebron has closed out the past two games by running on fumes. lebron being "simply" heroic and super human has not been enough so far. let's see if he can be more than heroic in the next game.
