10 point lead after 1. Cavs had a big lead opening night, too. Can they play with this type of energy for 4 quarters???

The lead is 9, but somehow I am wanting after the 1st half. The Cavs should be up 15 or 16. Solid effort, overall.

A sluggish start to the 3rd quarter has the Celtics knocking on the door. This has been the issue with the Cavaliers the past couple of weeks, a nasty habit from the past couple seasons. Cavs had better wake up, and fast.

You’re right, they missed their chance in the first half to build a bigger lead. Now they’ve let Boston back in to the game.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

Kudos to Mark Jackson for finally giving LBJ props for his defense…

I really hope James is a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year….He deserves it so far….

Tonight should be a game that LeBron plays the entire 2nd half….There is a playoff atmosphere, might as well play it like a playoff game…

Why not put Sasha on Pierce??? We have seen him play lock down defense for spurts against Pierce before…..

Anyone who cannot appreciate this performance by LeBron James just doesn’t know or like basketball. I don;t care what team you root for….

That was an awesome game. We tried to give it away in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but took it to them in the 4th, when it matters. I did not see many weird calls that others can complain about, so I guess the league will have to sit up and now take notice that the Cavs are truly for real.
