Game 2 Preview: Which LeBron James Will Show Up?

The Tenative James from Game One of the Finals (4-for-16 shooting, six turnovers),
or the Incredible James from Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals (a historical 48 points, including the final 25 in a double-overtime victory on the road)?
Sure, there are other Cavaliers who have perform much, much better (Z, I'm looking in your direction and Larry Hughes, you too) for Cleveland to challenge the Spurs, but it begins and ends with James. As much as he wants to get his teammates involved, you can only pass to Donyell Marshall so many times before you realize that your best option is to attack the basket and attempt to get Tim Duncan into foul trouble.Several of you will probably be upset I'm not writing about the Spurs. But this isn't about the Spurs. San Antonio is the better team, they've already got three titles, and they're heavy favorites to capture the fourth NBA crown in the Tim Duncan era. It's three against one, and I'm one of the few lost souls that actually thinks the Cavs will win this series. I'm anticipating one of two things tonight: a Spurs blowout (15 or more points) or a Cavaliers upset. And I'm going with the latter. Expect to see a different LeBron tonight (assuming you're not watching the Sopranos), one who attacks the basket early, and gets in a scoring mode, but also distributes the basketball. I'm expecting him to have 14 points and five assists at the half. If he's settling for jumpers early, the Spurs will run away with it. I also expect inspired play from Larry Hughes, but he knows that if he's awful again defensively, Daniel Gibson probably will be starting the rest of the series, and perhaps be the favorite to run the team next season. As much as everyone wants to say, 'San Antonio didn't even play great and won handily,' the stats say otherwise: 45% from the field, 37% from three, and more assists and rebounds than the Cavs.
