Just in case you missed it...


LeBron had two amazing blocks last night chasing down Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen on fastbreaks that would typically result in a foul or an uncontested dunk/layup. I think it's safe to say Rondo is getting sick of these blocks. LeBron's timing coming down the floor is simply astounding and the fact that he manages to avoid fouling on both of these plays is something to appreciate as well. The extra effort to get the posession back on both plays is incredible, too. This is most notable on the Rondo block, as LeBron hits the ball twice against the glass in mid-air in an attempt to knock the ball back to himself or a teammate. I can't remember if the Cavs actually did get it back, but the effort is clearly there. Players have to take notice of these blocks and use the rim to shield themselves with a reverse dunk or layup when they're playing the Cavs. Even if they don't feel him breathing down their neck on the fastbreak, it's probably still a good idea just to be safe.
