So...because Delonte West can jump higher, he gets a foul called on him, and Rondo gets FT's? Yeah, that makes sense.
Wow. Ben Wallace is being useless out there. Really, it seems the Celtics' defense is really good, when, in fact, it's because they're leaving Wallace wide open and double teaming everyone because he can't do shit anyways.

Just got home, is it bad offense or good defense?</div> Good defense on Lebron, bad offense by the rest of the Cavs. They're simply missing wide open shots they would normally hit. It seems like foul shots, big Z, Gibson, and Wally have kept Cleveland in the game. Oh, and as for PP/Ray Ray...well, Ray hasn't been all that aggressive. And he's been missing shots. Paul, on the other hand, is having more of an off night than Lebron (and the whole Cavs team, I guess).

Lebron was absolutely horrible the entire game. Just pathetic. I guess the "King" decided not to show up today. Way to step up and take over the game Lebron. I'm amazed at how close this game was even with Lebron struggling. King James needs to get his head together, had he played just an "average" game, the Cavs would've won. Definitely something the Celtics need to think about heading into game 2. They are no longer the unstoppable superteam they once were in the regular season

I'm honestly not impressed by Boston at all this post-season. They struggled to beat Cleveland when LeBron had absolutely no positive impact on the game and they got pushed to a game 7 by Atlanta.

Tim Duncan didn't play as bad in game 1 (1 turnover compared to 10 too), and he's on the decline in his career as well, he's got a lame excuse at least.

That's because they hack the whole game. Refs don't call every foul. Besides, you could tell Posey was purposely trying to foul Lebron. He grabbed him when he was getting picked off. And then Perkins, no blocking foul? Yeah, okay.

Debatable. I'll try to bring out the raw PER/Game-Score numbers later. LeBron was also the only starter on his team with negative +/- numbers, by a decent magnitude. Duncan was at -19, but then the majority of SA's starters were around that level.
