James' Cleveland Cavaliers are 9-0 in the playoffs as they host Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday night against a Raptors team that may be reeling after a lopsided loss.
Cleveland thumped Toronto 115-84 on Tuesday, showing why it is Luis Sardinas Jerseyheavily favored to return to the NBA Finals. James hardly missed and scored 24 points in three quarters and Kyrie Irving scored 27 as the Cavaliers showed no ill effects from an eight-day layoff following their second sweep of the postseason.
James made his first nine shots with an arena-rattling powerhouse dunk for Cleveland, the first team to start the playoffs with nine straight wins since San Antonio reeled off 10 in a row in 2012.
That Spurs team never even made it to the NBA Finals. http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-33-martin-perez-jersey.htmlJames is making sure his team possesses the mindset so that won't happen to the Cavaliers.
"I think don't think we have complacency in our minds," he said. "We have a goal and our goal is not nine wins. I've won nine games before. I've won 14 games before. We will face some adversity."
Unlike their second-round series when they made 77 3-pointers and swept Atlanta, http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-54-matt-harrison-jersey.htmlthe Cavs did most of their damage from close range. Cleveland made just 7 of 20 3-point attempts.
Such sharpshooting wasn't needed since James and company went inside for a 56-36 edge in points in the paint and overwhelmed a Raptors team without injured center Jonas Valanciunas, who is doubtful for this game. Cleveland enjoyed Joe Carter Jerseya 45-23 rebounding edge.
Toronto took a more draining path to this round, winning Game 7s at home against Indiana and Miami in the first two. With one day to prepare for the series opener, the Raptors looked flat.
"I thought they were the fresher team, the quicker team tonight," http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-19-jose-bautista-jersey.htmlcoach Dwane Casey said. "Again, that's to their credit, and again, it's one game. This series is not over by any means."
It's hard to believe, though, that the series won't be over soon because of James, who has five double-doubles in the postseason. He made 11 of 13 shots Tuesday and sat out the fourth after helping the Cavaliers control both ends of the floor.
