 VS 
Cleveland Cavs vs Boston Celtics LeBron James swished a few uncontested 20-foot jump shots. He made layups, finger rolls, 3-pointers and free throws - a few left-handed. He even worked on a few trick shots in a friendly game of "P-I-G" On Friday, James hardly missed. It's so easy when the Boston Celtics aren't around. Cleveland's superstar looked relaxed and upbeat on Friday as he and the Cavaliers, down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, studied film and shot around while trying to figure out how to solve Boston's boa-constricting defense.Over the first two games, James shot 19 percent (8-of-42) from the field. The All-Star forward committed twice as many turnovers (17) as he had field goals (8). He's 0-for-10 on 3-pointers, and his 16.5 points per game average is 13.5 lower than his league-leading mark during the regular season. |

San Antonio Spurs vs New Orleans Hornets
Chris Paul turned 23 on Tuesday. The New Orleans Hornets' talented point guard said he had a low-key birthday, just hanging out with his teammates. The big surprise party might happen Thursday night, courtesy of Paul and his team if they can beat the defending champion San Antonio Spurs yet again by picking up a Game 3 win to take a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
"They say you're supposed to win all your home games. The series doesn't start until the home team loses," Paul said Wednesday. "We understand their backs are against the wall right now but we've got to go in there and understand we really need to steal a game."

"Kobe is the MVP. He deserves the trophy. We just want to win the game."The NBA made it official Tuesday - four days after the word was leaked - that Bryant had won his first MVP award. He'll receive the trophy before Game 2 at Staples Center.

 VS. 
Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Doc Rivers got a chance to see another side of LeBron James in February, when the Celtics coach was running the Eastern Conference All-Star team and the Cavaliers forward was winning the game's MVP award for the second time.It wasn't the shooting: Rivers has seen James score 30 points just about every time he's played Boston. Or the rebounding that led Rivers to dub James "Shaq-at-guard." Or the passing the coach compared to a Nolan Ryan fastball."His focus in the timeouts," Rivers said after practice on Monday. "It actually caught me off guard. His eyes were like beaming at me. You don't see that often. Especially not at the All-Star game." |
