East Conf. Finals - Game 4: Boston Celtics 102-111 Cleveland Cavaliers - 5 Talking Points

#1 LeBron James is still the Beast of the East

Boston Celtics v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Four

The last time I checked,

The King was still the best in the business of putting the ball into a hoop. While the box scores may not show the same, his performances in Games 3 and 4 have arguably been better than the masterclasses that we've all been witness to in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Game 4 had LeBron scoring 44 points, although he grabbed a below-LeBron-average 5 rebounds and had a well-below-LeBron-average 3 assists for the entire game. Like in Game 3, LeBron acted as the ultimate bail-out for the Cavs offense which was clicking for the most part.

He took only 28 shots to reach this points total, and he did so with the ease that only he is capable of displaying in the entire world. If he continues to command basketball games like this, this series is headed south fast for the Celtics.
