Okay, I may be talking a little like a homer here, but oh well.
I do agree that Lebron was the best player on that court in the Cavs-Pistons series. However, as a unit, the Pistons are probably the best in the NBA. Defensively, they didn't play as well as they should've (and can), and I think that was their biggest downfall.
Towards the end of some of the close games, Lebron should have been double (or maybe triple?) teamed. The Pistons should have let someone OTHER than Lebron try and beat them. But instead, in a few games Lebron put the final nail in the coffin for the Cavs.
In the early game where Lebron was forced to pass it out to another player and have him try for the 3, only to fail, is what should have been the strategy every game. Instead, the Pistons let Lebron score over 25+ in that double overtime game. Unbelievable. Had they of shut him down, we would be talking about a different NBA Finals series. |
