How could you not love Game 7, even as a Cavaliers fan? There were two of the best players in the NBA, going toe-to-toe, daring the other one to blink first. And despite Cleveland's loss, neither LeBron or Paul Pierce looked away.
LeBron and Pierce did everything they could to lead their respective teams to a win. But in the end, it was the play of the supporting casts which really told the tale. It was Eddie House diving on the floor for a loose ball and P.J. Brown nailing a 19-foot jumper with under two minutes remaining. Sure, Pierce's 41 points gives everyone something to talk about and is a nice intro to the Celtics win, but the meat belongs to the role players.
Conversely, it was Wally's World going 0-fer-Game 7, Big Z spotting up for 20-foot j's, and everyone in the wine and gold (save Delonte West) bailing on James when he needed them the most. Unfortunately, James' 45 points will be lost to history because of the loss.
I've said it before and I'll continue to say it until someone listens -- the Cavs need to get James help, and now. Jordan had Pippen. James needs someone. (Maybe Antwan Jameson? He's a free agent.)
