What the hell did I just watch? Wow. That game took a lot out of me and I didn't play a second of it.
James missing his first 10 attempts, 37 overall being a career high to the lowly and beaten up Atlanta Hawks who almost stole this game.
+14 on the boards, 13 more offensive boards will usually get you the win but it was harder said than done.
Of course, epic night by James with the triple-double and just being banged up out there (dude is going to own EVERY record one day) but I got to give it to 3 guys on the offensive end. Shumpert, Smith and Delly. 15, 17 and 17, respectively. Did anyone catch Smith's boards? 10, second to James' 18. That little guy had 10, no one on the Hawks did.
Nail biter we saw, hopefully next game will be a blowout to start the rest.
They took the Hawks' best punch, Atlanta has no more. They are gassed.
Also, it rained hard here in the 3rd and a little in the 4th. I lost tv satellite signal for a few minutes. Not wanting to spoil the game, I waited 20 minutes to download a russian torrent (only one at the time) to watch on mute from the 3rd on and then went back and watched in HD on the tv with the missing time. I am so OCD, I didn't want to spoil any point (don't know when signal would come back) so I just watched on my computer until game over and then again on the tv, watching missing time on channel's repeat.
Anyways...
