lebron-wife.jpgTwo he-yuge Game 6’s tonight. Both Cleveland and Utah are fighting for their Playoff lives tonight. Will either still be alive by the time I pass out tonight?

The Caveliers kicks off the Friday festivities by hosting the Celtics in Cleveland. The Cavs have a good shot at victory tonight since the Celtics have apparently decided that it’s only cool to win in front of their own fans. To quote Pepper Brooks in Dodgeball, “It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ‘em.”

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Daniel Gibson is out tonight (and probably for the rest of the playoffs) with a separated shoulder. With Boobie out an even bigger weight now rests on the shoulders of LeBron James. (Say what you will, Boobie is a contributer.) Is LeGlobal Icon finally going to have one of those games.

It looked like LeBron was going to do it on Wednesday in Boston when he had 23 points through the first 21 minutes. Then everything slowed down and he finished with a kind-of-quiet 35 points. He’s going to need to do it. The time of letting his teammate win games for him has passed. It’s Zero Hour in Cleveland – win or stay home for the Cavs. At the very least we deserve a Game 7. Don’t we?

In the interest of equal opportunity:

For some reason Paul Pierce now makes me think of stuff like this.
