Celtics win Game 5

James took a subtle swipe at head coach Mike Brown after Sunday’s game.

He said it was "kind of surprising" that Shaquille O'Neal didn't return to the game after picking up his fifth foul with over 11 minutes left in the fourth and Boston leading 76-72. The Celtics immediately went on an 8-0 run with Shaq out of the game.

If it wasn't for Shaq's solid 17-point performance in 28 minutes the final 10-point deficit might have been worse.

It was evident that Cleveland entered Sunday’s game thinking that the 29 points they won by Friday night was enough to win both games.

Strangely, aside from instituting a poor offensive game plan, Brown refuses to allow 7-foot-3 center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who together with O’Neal combine to average 12.1 rebounds per game, to get off the bench. As a result the Cavs continue to be out-rebounded by a smaller, less-athletic Celtics team.

Mark it down.If the Celtics take Game 5 in Cleveland, Brown can kiss his job - and LeBron’s future in Cleveland - good-bye.
