Sports InsiderDoes LeBron James Have What it Takes?
May 27th 2007 23:51
Down to 2-0 to the Detroit Pistons, questions surrounding LeBron Jame's ability to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to the promise land are starting to surface and becoming the talk of the NBA playoffs. No question LeBron is talented, but he can't seem to close when it comes down to crutch time. The Cavs lost again Thursday night by exactly the same score as game one, 76-79. LeBron had a somewhat of a better game scoring 19 points and dishing out 7 assists, but still the same result. James had some help with Anderson Varejao putting up 14 points and 14 boards, but it wasn't enough.
The Pistons didn't have the best offensive performance, but got the job done. Rasheed Wallace showed up once again with 16 points, 11 rebounds and an amazing turn around jumper on LeBron which helped clinch the win. Tayshaun Prince on the other hand was a disappointment, shooting 0-8 and scoring only one point.
If LeBron wants to win championships like the players that he has been compared to, (Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson) he better figure out how to put the nail in the coffin and beat a quality team like the Pistons in the playoffs. It's time to step up and show how good he really can be.
