However, Marcus Morris from the Celtics does not believe that James had a bad night.
"I'm not going to lose sleep over it", James said.
Three Celtics score 20-plus points.
Of the six times James has faced an 0-2 deficit, two of them have come in his second tour of duty with the Cavs-both at the hands of the Warriors in the 2016 and "17 NBA Finals".
Morris scored 21 points and added 10 rebounds while pestering James into a playoff-high seven turnovers - and a playoff-low 15 points - and the Celtics opened a 21-point, first-quarter lead to scorch Cleveland 108-83 in Game 1.
The Celtics came out fighting against the Cavaliers from word go in Game 1 and Cleveland just couldn't cope all four quarters.
The Cavaliers rank 23rd in points in the paint per game (43.4) while the Celtics rank 29th (40.3).
"I mean, usually when LeBron has these kind of games, the next game he does something legendary", Tristan Thompson, expected to get bumped into the starting five in Game 2, said on Monday.

Chances are LeBron is going to be much more aggressive on Tuesday night, and we won't see him deferring to teammates and loafing on defense.
Over James' postseason lifetime, a circumstance similar to what he's suggesting here against the Celtics has played out on a few other memorable occasions. Boston's 36-18 lead at the end of one quarter was the second-largest in a playoff game in franchise history. Morris went on to finish with 10 rebounds and 21 points making it his first career playoff double.
Morris had 18 points and led a swarming defensive effort that shut down James, who had been averaging 34 points in the play-offs. Morris made the headlines prior to Game 1 by declaring that he is the best player in the league (behind San Antonio Spur Kawhi Leonard) to guard LeBron. "I just think we did a great job of that". He was trying to make a basketball play, it just happened.
There has, however, been a great deal of talking in the national media throughout the season, essentially calling the C's a mirage.
But with Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward watching from the sidelines, the Celtics continue to silence the doubters and pick apart the opponent one at a time. The Celtics are peaking at the right time and the Cavs flaws seem evident.
Though James will surely put in a much better performance, it's hard to go past Boston at the -1.0 point line offered by oddsmakers after their 25 point victory in Game 1.
Jaylen Brown scored 23 points and Al Horford had 20 for Boston, which ran off 17 points in a row in the first and never allowed the Cavaliers within single digits again. This is a rematch of last years Eastern Conference Final, that was won in 5 games by the Cavs. I got a sense of how they are going to play me and I can make some changes going into game two. "That's what we did".
Cleveland ranks 14th in fast break points per game (12.0) while Boston ranks 27th (9.6).
"We didn't play well. We understand that", said Cavs' head coach Tyronn Lue. We know we have to play better.
