In The Face: Jamison Punches It On Kendrick Perkins

“That’s how you interrupt somebody making a point.”

Dunk Score: 9.8

After Antawn Jamison bang on Kendrick Perkins like this it looked like the Cavs were ready to stop playing around and really do some work. Mark Jackson described it perfectly as Jamison literally “punched” it on the slow to recover Perkins, who suffered a grill defecation as a result.

Unfortunately Rajon Rondo and them had other plans as the Celtics outshined King James to even the series. At least Jamison will have reason to smile during film session.

King James Beasts A Beast

I know the Cavs have lost 3 straight games, and everyone wants to be quick to bash the Jamison trade, but one thing is for certain–you can’t blame King James. LeBron is doing everything he can to help his team win, like he did on this play, timing out Dwight Howard shot and not even showing him the courtesy of blocking it into the 20th row. Instead King James just grabbed snatched the ball out of the air with 2 hands and took it coast-to-coast for the bucket. Now that is what you call a beasting, but unfortunately the Magic got the last laugh, but the Cavs proverbial monkey azz in crunch time.

Even with the addition Jamison (which the team didn’t really need) the Cavs roster is essentially what you get when you lean a little bit closer to see that them roses really smell like boo boo. Big Z was playing solid and relying on Shaq to finish the season is risky, but those are decisions that Danny Ferry gets paid big cheese to make and God bless him for having the marbles to make them. But without a ring, it’s a safe bet that LeBron will make his next move his best one next season, whether that be staying in Cleveland or making a move remains to be seen.
