When a superstar/best player in the world makes multiple mistakes in the final minutes of a close game I see it as choking.
Im not saying they are going to lose this series, I think they will but its still open. The bulls have stolen HCA so now they only need to win there home games to take this series, they don't need to win in Cleveland again. Game 2 is huge, I think the Cavs might bounce back but if they don't this series is just about over.
LBJ will play better but if the Bulls defend well he is going to struggle this series, no stretch 4 is huge. Theres a reason bosh was turned from an effective post/face up player to a jumpshooter in Miami, Lebron needs the paint clear to be at his best. He cant create his own midrange or 3 point shots off the dribble consistently, he doesn't move off the ball all that well, he goes well in the post but doesn't seem comfortable down there as he doesn't go there often. Take away his ability to get into the paint consistently and there goes a lot of his points and assists.
