lebron james total points OVER (whatever number they want to post)
im not a conspiracy theorist. i do consider myself to have a rational mind.
that said, there is no doubt in my mind that lebron will get every call imaginable tomorrow night in toronto. would not surprise me at all to see him shoot 18 or 20 free throws.
the nba cant win the game for cleveland tomorrow and lose it for new jersey. after all, cleveland put themselves in this predicament by choking down the home stretch of the regular season.
but theres no doubt lebron will get every whistle and go for 35+ on wednesday night to at least give cleveland a chance to get in the playoffs. he did, of course, go for 56 his last time up to toronto.
cleveland is the city of disappointment, so im not getting my hopes up for the cavs making the playoffs. they gagged bad down the stretch.
i think cleveland will win tomorrow... but i think new jersey will win their game as well.
incidentally, heard doc rivers post game press conference after the cavs game tonight and he was asked about the nets game tomorrow. he said he was going to go with the same rotation that he did tonight in cleveland and that 'the young guys would get a lot of minutes'. he said that is was only fair to both cleveland and new jersey that he use the same rotation for both games.
we'll see. truthfully, i think boston will mail it in. hope im wrong.
i repeat -- im not saying 'conspiracy' in toronto and boston tomorrow. thats ridiculous.
but i do think the refs know whats at stake and will almost subconsciously be giving lebron every call whenever he goes to the hoop.
and regardless of all that, lebron will be jacking anyways because if he sits home for the playoffs, i think he will go down on his terms -- meaning hes gonna be taking the shots and not be as unselfish as he normally is.
in sum:
cleveland wins tomorrow.
lebron scores 35 or 40.
new jersey wins tomorrow.
nets go to playoffs.
lebron OVER whatever points for me.
