Reputations are made in the playoffs (for example, see Chris Paul). And sometimes reputation are dented in the playoffs. Last night, LeBron James had a nightmare game against the Boston Celtics. His Cleveland Cavaliers lost 76 - 72 in Game One of the second playoff round.
The game was remarkable for the shots that LeBron James did not make. He took eighteen shots - and made two of them. That is a shooting per centage of eleven per cent. Add to this ten turnovers and it is thirty nine very unusual minutes for LeBron James.

The game was unusual for the Celtics too. Ray Allen did not score a point. Paul Pierce scored four points. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce matched LeBron James. These two Celtic All-Stars took a combined eighteen shots and made two of them. It is safe to say that shooting per centages will increase in Game Two. This opening game was an oddity.
