The shot heard ‘round the horrible city of Cleveland (and other places too).

Something to take from this video.

1) Hedo has been so cold-blooded this year, that there was no doubt in the Magic’s mind that this game was OVER.

2) Because of that mindset, Hedo got put on LeBron, mistake #1. Pietrus was actually doing a decent job, holding LeBron to 4 shots & 1 point in the 4th.

3) The pressure, really, was on LeBron for that shot because if he MISSED, that would have been two games in a row where he had the last possession & didn’t make it happen.

4) The Cavs probably watched the end of the Lakers/Nuggets game on Thursday and saw how the ball ended up in Fisher’s hands and not KOBE’s. Because of that, the sideline play was deisgned to go to LeBron and LeBron only. Even if the passed sailed out of bounds, at least you know they were going to their money guy.

5) I could watch that shot another 10 times & still get the same reaction. leBron hit it from 28 feet out with Turkoglu playing as good a defense as he could without slapping the back of his head.
