They say the truth shall set you free. In the case of the Boston Celtics Paul Pierce known as "the truth" set his teamates free to continue to persue an NBA championship. Pierce was unstoppable draining shots from every spot on the court. He would not be denied what he has worked 6 hard years to get back to. Peirce finished this game with 41 points with 5 assist shooting 13 for 23 from the floor but knocked down 4 of 6 three pointers.
It seemed as if Boston would run away with this game after watching the first half. LeBron however would have none of that and brought his Cav's to within 1 in the forth. However it was not to be as the Celtics would never trail in this game and go on to win and move on to face the Detroit Pistons Tuesday.
Pierce worked hard throughout this whole game, even coming up with a loose ball when Ilgauskas and Posey went up for a jump ball that was tipped towards LeBron. Garnett was Pretty quiet for the most part only scoring 13 points and 13 boards. Also Ray Allen was no help again today as he's been this whole series. He had only 4 points 1 assist. Going 0-2 from the three point arch. If Boston is to hope to beat the Pistons Allen will have to do more than what he has this semi-final round. Rajon Rondo played very good ball once again and Eddie House and Vet. P.J. Brown gave the Celtics some good bench production when they needed it.
As for the Cavaliers it's time to think about the imediate future. Let's face it he has no supporting cast at all. The only reason this game was even close was because he took charge of his team. Mike Brown is the biggest issue I think facing the Cav's he isn't a good coach at all in my opinion. Maybe an assistant job is best suited for him.
Delonte West though he was the only other player to garner some descent points for the Cav's this game, he was reckless at times. A few times during the game when he drove to the basket he would try and pass the ball in traffic. He should have just went up with shots to try and draw fouls.
Big Z as that's what Cav's fans call him is just pure garbage! There is no other way to describe him, so I'll leave it at that. Ben Wallace is another player that the Cav's may just want to get rid of. He provided much of nothing but 4 rebounds and 3 points. Now he did at times frustrate Garnett on the defensive side but that's it. It'll be a long summer for the Cav's but one that they need to reflect on what went wrong and how do they fix it all.
Cleveland can't continue to allow James to be it's only player carrying this team. Come 2010 more than likely he'll grow tired of that and move on to greener pastures. Can anyone say LaBrooklyn?
This is the question, if there was just a few seconds left on the clock and you had one last shot at an NBA championship who would you want taking that shot Kobe or LeBron? Personaly I would want Kobe and here is my reason why. LeBron for all his greatness is not a good jump shooter. Now befor you Lebron lovers come in here and damn me to hell, yes I am aware that the stats say Lebron is more clutch this season. In my opinion stats are misleading and vary from season to season.
I am also aware that LeBron hit a clutch shot over Kobe to beat the Lakers this season. Like that has never happened to LeBron as well. Although I am sure all you LeBron lovers have selective memory and somehow do not remember it ever happening.
What I also know is what I see game in and game out and that is Kobe is just the best shooter in the NBA not named Ray Allen. He can hit it from down deep consistantly. The turn around fade away jumper is the best I seen since "Mike." He can drive past any defender in the game today. Heck put two or three on him and he'll still find a way to split them make the shot and get the foul.
He's also a much better free throw shooter and even better with the game on the line. So there is no question or doubt in my mind about who I would want taking that last shot to win it all. That person is the best player in the game as of today "Kobe Bryant."
LeBron is a great player who will only get better as time goes on. The young man has so much potential it's almost unreal. Some day he just "might" be he best who ever played. That remains to be seen, however Kobe is the best as of right now. Anyone who says different is either blinded by hatred or homerism and the two go hand and hand.
Here is what a few so called experts in sports from that four letter station have to say about who would they rather have right now on their team.

I am sure if you asked any other sports journalist and media guys/ladies and just overall sports junkies like me you would get the same answer from just about everyone of them. LeBron will have his day (although I don't think it will be in a Cav's uniform) and he will have everyone saying these same exact things about him. Until that time sit back and be witness to something great. Something we all as NBA fans should be enjoying.
