The Cavs Are Down, But Not Out – It’s In Lebron’s Eyes
More important than lifting his team to fight another day. More important than scoring 37 points. More important than posting a triple-double, was the look in Lebron James eyes late in the fourth quarter. As Dwight Howard fouled out and jawed at Lebron, the look Lebron shot back said more than anything, we aren’t quitters.
You know Lebron is performing like a king when they put his name and stats right next to the 1965 Jerry West game-by-game stats. It is a record that hasn’t been flirted with often. Lebron will probably not break that particular record in this series.
I feel refreshed that Mo Williams can still shoot. Lebron’s supporting cast stepped up last night and played the way they had all year until the start of this series.
Game 6 in Orlando is not only do-or-die for the Cavs, but I feel it is now do-or-die for Orlando as well. If the Cavs can sneak one out in Orlando, then I feel Game 7 would see the Cavs as big home favorites. One game will dictate an outcome of a great season for the best Cavs team in history.
If Lebron has that look in his eye Saturday, beware Magic, the king knows what’s up.
