This is one of the most jeckel and hyde, bi-polar, split personality, whatever you wanna call it teams I've ever seen. At home they beat teams by 20 or 30, on the road they're average at best, it's remarkable. I knew as did most everyone that the Cavs would win tonight, if you can't beat the Hawks on the road how can you beat the Cavs. They're lucky they have home court for the entire playoffs, they're gonna need it if they can't win a single game on the road. They are 0-4 on the road, makes our 5 point loss to the Jazz at their place look like nothing.

Ha, Lebron pulled a Kobe. He brought his daughter to his post game interview.

LeBron has a daughter?! Since when? All I ever see him mention are the two sons he has with his girlfriend. One of them was born during the Finals last year...

Anyways I figured the Cavs would win because well the Celtics don't win on the road. They should be glad to have HCA because they would've been bounced out of the playoffs without it.

I doubt it's his daughter. LeBron has 2 sons, if I remember correctly. Towards the end of the interview, he even signaled for a relative to come grab the kid, referring to him as "your nephew."

I saw on ESPN they won without Billups in the lineup and they were trailing most of the game man4

Yep maybe it was his older son but he has long hair/braids or something and they though it was a girl man11


But yeah Kobe's kids are pretty well behaved for their age. Even Jason Kidd's son is well behaved he just has a huge head I can't stop looking at man3

Amazing how these Celtics are still winless on the road in the playoffs.

This Celtic team so far is almost a carbon-copy of the 2000 Laker team which won 67 games and then struggled mightily in the playoffs.

It's just a shame they have HCA throughout the playoffs as they look unbeatable at home.

James, Pierce Resume Rivalry: Cavaliers Standout Set to Go Head-to-Head With Star of Celtics 10th Time
Posted on: Friday, 24 March 2006, 09:00 CST

By Brian Windhorst, The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio

Mar. 24--CLEVELAND -- Over the last three years, much has been made of the story line, "LeBron James vs. (opposing star's name here)."

Whether it's Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade or Kobe Bryant, when they're playing James and the Cavaliers, it's usually televised nationally and much-hyped.

But the schedule-makers and TV decision-makers seemingly haven't noticed James' most fierce and entertaining individual rivalry: the one against Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics.

Tonight marks the 10th regular-season matchup between James and Pierce over the last three years, as the Celtics visit Quicken Loans Arena. Their history and rivalry goes beyond those games, however. In fact, including the four preseason games the Cavs have played with the Celtics over the last two years, James has faced Pierce more than any other contemporary star.

The last time the two hooked up, the result was one of the best Cavs games for viewing this season.

James put up 43 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in a double-overtime victory. Pierce scored a career-high 50 points and might have forced a third overtime -- or led his team to victory -- had he not drawn his sixth foul.

The next day, both flew to Houston to take part in the All-Star Game.

"We didn't script it, it just kind of ended up that way. I look at it like it was a classic," Pierce said. "You had two all-stars going toe to toe, and I think it was fun just being a part of it."

It was just the latest in a series of intense matchups. The start goes back to James' rookie season, when he scored 37 points and Pierce bested him with 41 in a Celtics victory.

Over the last two seasons, the Cavs have played three games with the Celtics that have come down to the final seconds, two of which have gone to overtime.

Since James came into the league, the Cavs are 5-4 vs. Pierce and Boston. Pierce has averaged 30 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists in those games. James has averaged 28.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists. The two have guarded each other a majority of the time, which hasn't always been the case with high-profile opponents such as Bryant, Wade and Anthony.

"I always like going up against him," James said. "We're both similar players and we play the same position, so we usually guard each other. It's always a lot of fun."

They were guarding each other before last season during a preseason game in Columbus at Value City Arena when things got heated. James and Pierce were aggressively going after each other on the offensive and defensive ends. It boiled over after James got a steal and dunk.

Being chirped at from the Cavs' bench, Pierce spit at the reserves. He later was fined.

Following the game, Pierce and James got into a fiery exchange in the hallway between the locker rooms with then-coach Paul Silas having to break things up and Pierce having to be carried away by teammates.

The two later made up at the All-Star Game in Denver, but they still make sure they bring their best game to face each other.

"He's a top scorer and I'm a top scorer and we kind of offset each other," Pierce said. "He's a very nice guy. He's having an MVP-type year guiding his team to the playoffs."

I'm still amazed at how bad the Celtics are offensively. They don't utilize the big 3 in an efficient, effective way on offense. For the most part, KG just posts up, Pierce goes 1 on 1, and Ray just catches and shoots. I don't see much synergy between the players.

Does that announcer, I forgot who it was, use that quote ("With no regard for human life") to describe a lot of players or is that the first time he's used it since Kobe's dunk?

That was the craziest dunk of the playoffs. Speechless.

Oh and Boston are really shocking right now. Ray Allen's backside is going 10 to the dozen.
