A legitimate case can be made that LeBron James is, right now, the best player in NBA history. Just last season he single handedly brought a team of undrafted free agents, AAU players and a prison work release unit to the Finals. But against the Celtics, he's put together probably the worst two games of his career. (For all I know, the only bad back-to-back games of his career.) This is in no way intended to mush whatever the Celts are doing right against James, because we all know this can't keep up; that at some point before this series is over, he'll win a game all by himself. But LeBron's play so far is enough to justify make a list of the worst playoff performances against Boston teams by a legit superstar. If James doesn't pick up his play in the next couple of games, he's looking at capturing the top spot. OK, the second spot.

10. C.C. Sabathia, Indians, 2007 ALCS

Sabathia won the Cy Young Award, by a wide margin, in 2007. But against the Red Sox in the postseason he pitched like Matt Young. Sabathia was 0-2, with a 10.45 ERA and put a Gagnesque 19 runners on base in 10.1 innings.

9. No one vs. the Bruins

As my token hockey fan friend says "The Bruins don't stop legends; they make them."
