http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gameday_nets_060408.htmlThe link also has a nice pic of LeBron's jam on Krstic.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LeBron James has had so many spectacular plays over the course of his already-brilliant three year career that it?s tough to say which one is the greatest. But on Saturday afternoon in New Jersey, he may have tipped the scales. With the Cavaliers trailing by three, James took an Eric Snow rip-away and drove through three Nets defenders to get the incredible hoop and the tax to tie the game at 101-101 with 50 seconds to go.</div>That was an amazing play. The Nets were all over James on that drive, and some how James got it in the hoop. The Nets had their hands on the ball and on James, and he still made it (thank god he made the free throw. I got to tell you, I was scared when he was on the line).Larry Hughes had a pretty good game for his third game back. He had a really nice tip in from a James air ball, he was under the hoop and he tipped the ball from in front of the hoop, got it to go in off the back board. Hughes had 15 points and 7 boards.James had 37 points and 7 assists along with 5 rebounds. Flip had a really good game. Along with Gooden. Eric Snow's defense was great today. His defense on Carter at the end was almost perfect. He is a big part of the reason they won that game.The Cavaliers barely lead the game in the first, then the Nets took over and lead by ten or more for almost the whole game. The Cavaliers didn't get the lead intill the end of the fourth quarter. This was a big win for the Cavaliers, they finished the Nets' 13 game winning streak.This game was great! (if your a Cavs fan).
Great performance by LeBron and the cavs, they played terrific today, but it was a highly contested game either way. As a Nets fan I was obvously dissapointed by Carter's play in the last minute or so where he took 3 bad shots and had 2 turnovers as well as a missed free throw..We should have won it in my opinion, but credit goes to the Cavs for playing tough down the stretch and snapping the win streak..
hopefully the cavs get some repect after this. They've been playing as well as anyone in the league as of late, but everyone here is kissing New Jersey's <Censored>.
I too think that the Nets should have won that one. Any time, in my opinion, that you can be beating a team by ten for most of the game, you should win that game. The Cavs had a great come back and worked for the win. But the Nets let that one slip. The Cavs wanted that one more.I have got to tell you though. Jason Kidd is amazing. He had some really great passes this game.

I think Cleveland played solid basketball all game long and with the 11 point lead, I though NJ would be able to close it out, however, Cleveland refused to quite and came out on top. I think both teams are capable of doing some damage in the playoffs and could be very dangerous..

I've read this board before, and the Nets fans are just going crazy. No one was even mentioning the Cavs.
If NJ drew the 4 or 5 seed, they wouldnt have a shot either. NJ is in a very weak divison, thus basically giving them the 3 seed. Both teams are 47-31, but the new layout gives the 3 to NJ automatically. Between the 2 teams, im not sure who will finish with the better record, but because NJ wont get detroit til the finals, they do have a shot in the second round.
