Paul Pierce vs LeBron James Full Highlights 2008 ECSF G7 Cavaliers at Celtics - Must Watch!!!

Another sellout crowd in Boston, these fans have cheered their team to a perfect 7 and 0 record in the playoffs and are trying to achieve another to advance to the Conference Finals. Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics all tied with LeBron James at the Cleveland Cavaliers three games each Rondo had a great game five struggled in game six Kevin Garnett's first shot didn't go wide, but Rondo, an excellent rebounding point guard, was able to drag it when seeing Pearson James while Pierce scores the first when seeing these two great scores. defending each other has been a lot of fun because they both strengthen their defense while Pierce gets open exactly the way the Celtics would have loved a couple of good jump shots early on, well one of the things LeBron James has trouble with It's the on-ball screens he makes.

With such a big frame, it's hard to get around those screens when he hits them, allowing Pier some separation. They have done a great job of realizing how the Celtics can hurt him and get them out of those things, especially Ray Allen and Paul Pierce zerak. now, Pierce in possession of it, Garnett, good open shot. I really like the aggressiveness of Paul Pi early he missed the last jumper, but he continues to look to make plays that time puts him on the floor and he finds the Garnett guy. Garnett has been a monster. the boards in the first four minutes Pierce hits a 3-pointer Paul Pierce sliding it up to start and the Celtics lead by eight timeouts Cavaliers James the hard move won't come down Ben Wallace can't grab it here comes Rondo three on two Rondo to drill perfect timing in the pass, no, and here you are

watch

ing Paul Pierce defend James, seeing all these body shots are 5050 calls and that's why it's so important that you establish yourself early in the game, from the defensive side, James nice , Up and Under movement and able to do it, those are his first points in five half minutes.

James enters. Oh, beautiful power move from LeBron James, he talks about a strength, the ability to go to the left hand avoiding contact and then finish and finish in the ring. James. to the basket oh a hard foul Ray Allen hit the shot clock went down to six Pierce nice play Pierce is on the mark at first well the same mentality we're talking about kg should make Pierce realize I'm being defended by pavich 101 help does not arrive I'm going to take this guy James to the drive posy he stays with him a nice shot LeBron James James Drive blocked with a foul 13 points six points for the rest of the team that is reaching the line Pierce gets inside Pierce, Pierce's lefty, making it early 13 points here, a very difficult split move and then comes in and finishes with his left hand.

Very good fit by Doc Rivers, putting him on a pick and roll and, frankly, I didn't know he was on it. this efficient execution of the pick and roll Pier drops back for three and that's it, hits the front of the rim and advances 16 points in the first half for Pierce and we still have more than seven and a half minutes to play a real spark that we can score points quickly talking about that LeBron James who is a two his foot was on the line when you think about how many pure point guards there are you have to let this guy play basketball PS he has the ball in his hands he will put Eddie House in position to catch and shoot, Pierce will go to the line for two more good passes.

Perkins inside Paul Pierce doing a little bit of everything, so you don't need a real point guard on the court because Paul Pierce has the ball in his hands. and he's making big decisions that time gets caught finds James at the basket making an eight point deficit Garnett Pierce wide open three strikes Damon Jones again with Baro West pavlovich and James as Jeff said a very small lineup in this one moment James inside count it and a foul when you see him make plays like that it's like you feel like he can do that every time he's so powerful Pierce again on the drive takes his time Pierce and a late whistle but a bouquet of fouls with good help ball the a steal by Pierce Pierce to the basket again when he collides with one of the cameramen and is shaking on the play James inside and gets fouled and people don't adjust their TVs it's just Smoky, it has nothing to do with Paul Pierce being on fire he got it with a pullup and then ran the pick and roll to Perfection here another midrange Jay again chaining IL galus LeBron James has a little trouble negotiating the screen and gets a lucky bounce and then this is greatly improved .

Paul Pierce handles the ball wisely sees the show hard he divides the show takes it to the hoop and finishes with his left hand 26 points in the first half now he just runs around the entire area James drives down the other end and makes a foul bad pass from Perkins on the offensive end Le James to bring the Cavs within eight steps back James still hasn't hit a three in games here in Boston when West knocks down the three and suddenly it's a good five point game. Patience. by James could have picked it up instead of waiting found the open man West continued to trust his teammate galus again in front of the basket and it's a three point timeout Boston big Z with a couple of big shots and it's 5249 you're walking with the ball up every time you left two threes open you can't relax about this you gotta be kidding me p a big bucket of three and Jeff you felt the same you can't believe the way the Celtics have gotten here In the third, it's baffling that In this game you come out with so little energy to start the second half.

James, 27 is good for LeBron James. It's amazing when great basketball players can make bad offensive teams look good and that's why Celtic fans were afraid. of game seven against LeBron James when Pierce comes back because of what a superstar can do, but to his credit, Paul Pierce is playing like a superstar here this afternoon. Halfway through the third James scores a triple, which is his first triple here in Boston. had been struggling a lot from center on the road 0 of 17 until that here is the double Pierce is feeling it Paul Pierce lighting it up with 33 timeouts Cavaliers Standing Ovation here in Boston the two big stars have been LeBron James and Paul Pierce and this one calls the player James, also the SS who is ready to play, who is ready to make shots, makes a play for which James almost makes James fall into the basket hit by PJ Brown.

Pierce passes to James, good pass in, nice pass from Paul Pearce, the lead is back to six. keeping the ball in Pierce's hands and time and time again he is making the right plays triple penetration finding Guys open Garnett now on James the defensive player of the year against the leading scorer of the game James blocked but a foul Pierce has been brilliant today in the pullup puts it on what difficult shot by Paul Pierce has the package offensively obviously this afternoon he has a rhythm clearing the visiting isolation knocking down the jump chat while LeBron is on his heel James that's a three is good LeBron James from below and he's return a four point game 37 for LeBron I can see why this young man says he is never desperate no team he is on is never desperate making plays down the stretch James and Pierce putting on a show for the fans Pierce on the drive in the pullup is good 39 for Pierce no and you training in this league is what is working well Paul Pier is what is working, give him the ball and get out of his way James and Pierce go back and forth against each other James will try another three knock it back to three back for LeBron James and it's 8380 one of these two is going to have a great performance and come out the loser a great player says get out of my way it's time for him to make a play Pi is doing that for his part and again this was also well defended.

James just got up and made the three. James Garnett put the shot clock at five. James on the drive gets inside Top Shot, knocks him down and they get back to three and I'm going to say this right now. I'm double-teamed and Blitz LeBron James on every pick and roll, anyone but LeBron James. I want to throw the ball right now. Here's Garnett again. Hard shot. It's good. Five smart plays by Rondo. Take it out instead of doing something that. your team will pay the price puts Kevin Garnett on the block with a big offensive move PS knocks down the jumper's isolation LeBron does the same on his end they're playing a game anything you can do I can do it better a guy says no I can't , the other one yes I can, the question is where LeBron's isolation against KT ends, everyone out of my way.

I'm going to take advantage of this match in which both boys are spectacular to close this G James with the steel here. he goes and James makes it a one point game with 220 left and this is the closest the Cs have been since the first minutes, they have never led and now they are one point behind LeBron James with 44 points and their defense makes it to do. James, he'll drive, James comes in, he's fouled, shot won, wow, kley makes that one in a four-point game, Celtics free throws, backed by six, two-possession game, James kicks it out, padovich by three, puts him in a three point game with.

There are 8.6 left and there is a foul by Pierce and it is not over yet, it adds up to 40 points for Pierce and a big sigh of relief in the free throws again. James gets a quick 3-pointer going that won't work. Smith, the rebound was stolen by Al. We'll do it, the Celtics will return to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2002.
