Keyshia Cole Gives Birth: East Rutherford, New Jersey – If LeBron James becomes a free, he might have second thoughts about joining the salary cap friendly and won the New Jersey Nets.
These fans booed him when he dunked.
What happened was not only once, but twice in Cleveland 111-92 win over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.
Forget that James had 26 points and 14 assists, one shy of his career high. King disappointed 17,502 fans at the Izod Center when gently dunked the first two – fastbreaks half instead of putting on a show Edge – rocking jams.
“I think that this is how much I love you when you Bo,” said James after the Cavaliers their fifth win in a row during the opening of the 20 – point first quarter lead and win big.
James and when he did not unleash a furious jam later, and the fans who made up one of the largest home crowd in the worst team in the NBA this season and put it back to them – and no doubt hoping he noted their appreciation.
And completed the win two game sweep of the Nets beat the New York Knicks, and over the past three days, the two teams that have a ton of money to throw James in this summer. James put on a show for both.
“From my seat, and he looked good doing everything,” Nets interim coach Kiki Vandeweghe said. “I’ve seen enough of it, I saw him on television and a number of times in person and continued to get better and better.”
James was outstanding to get his colleagues to go against the Nets.
J.J. Hickson added 20 points and 13 rebounds at the beginning of his second consecutive injured Shaquille O’Neal, Antawn Jamison had 19 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers won five in a row. And Mo Williams 16.
He added: “this is not him,” Nets point guard Devin Harris said James. He added: “trying to get other people involved and get a ton of help in the first quarter, and then looks to be more aggressive and goes for the game. No different tonight.”
Brook Lopez had 21 points and 14 rebounds to lead New Jersey (6-54), who lost eight games in a row for the Cavaliers, including all four this year.
Hamilton scored a career Terrence Williams added 21 points for the Nets, who was nearly 11 points after that ran on 35-15 in the opening 12 minutes. Yi Jianlian added 14 points and 10 rebounds.
“When you’re behind the fall of 20 against the best team in the NBA, face it, it will be difficult,” said Williams. “We got it down to 11 a few times and could not get over the hump. Credit to them and they made tough shots that LeBron plays for them.”
James was great in the first half and scored 10 points and eight assists capture. He also took time to tease the crowd splits undisputed, with both playing for long periods to extract boos from the crowd.
James seemed content to distribute the ball, and it has never been more evident than it was in the eight-point jump in to help three dunks led to two of Jamario Moon and another of Jameson.
James the best help came with the end of the quarter, 2:10. The ball the ball at the top of the key, he jumped in the air as if he was going to fire a pass from the left and then threw the ball between his legs before he came down, and Anderson Varejao for a layup that had the crowd back in the corner.
“Guys knocked down shots,” said James. “We have put men in the crime situation, and I attract a lot of attention. I am confident my colleagues when I get the ball to them.”
Six-year veteran also showed that he could pick up the rhythm. When the Nets run in the second quarter, and James dripped along the court and threw down a dunk that drew violent gasps.
This was also the second big game for Hickson, who became the starting center when O’Neal surgery on his thumb injury right. He probably will not return until late April.
Hickson 17 points and nine rebounds against New York and he follows with another big game against the state of New Jersey.
“It’s starting center is something even in my gut tells me no, said,” Cleveland coach Mike Brown. “I felt I’m going to go with JJ when I thought it, and felt right. I’ll stay with him until I feel I need to change”.
