No calls?
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown seemed to have his own explantion for LeBron’s 2-for-18 shooting night.
“The one thing he tried to do was attack the rim,” said Brown. “He didn’t get the calls, especially down the stretch. Guys have nights like that, but it is unusual to see him have a night like that from the field. He very seldom has a game like this, but he will bounce back and play a terrific game in Game 2.”
Brown was asked if it was fair to say that James had a bad game.
“He had a tough night, and he is entitled to it,” said Brown.
For his part, James said he could have done some things differently.
“I think we are going to watch some film tomorrow and break down the way I get the ball,” said James. “I think one thing that helped us in the fourth quarter we got some pick and rolls. We got Daniel an open three on that, it was a good look. We did another one where I missed a layup but [Ilgauskas] was there to get the rebound. Just got to try to mix and match and we will keep them off balance.”
Celtics forward Leon Powe had the best explanation for LeBron’s poor performance.
“I guess we had a good game plan,” Powe said.
