So no one in their right mind can blame Lebron James for the Cavs loss to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. As a matter of fact, he is the reason they got as far as they got. It just goes to show that basketball is beyond one player.
OK, so yeah it helps to have a talented player, but the Cavs realized that when you have a superstar player, if you can shut him down, you have to depend on the other four guys on the court. The entire series, the Cavs had trouble establishing an outside presence. That even hurt more later in the series when Charles Gibson was injured.
You simply just have to hand it to Boston. When you have three future hall-of-famers in Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce, you know you have a stacked lineup. My expectation is fans of old time basketball will get their wish and see a Los Angeles/Boston final. It is something the league is craving.
