But as I said, they had a 3rd star who shot it 17 for 31 those games. If it is so darn easy to get easy shots how is it that duncan and Ginobili are shooting under 33 percent in two straight games in the NBA finals when great players like that can get easy shots so easily??

And therein lies the difference in the two teams...LeBron HAS to play well for them to win. ginobili and Duncan were able to get bailed out of their horrendous shooting performances by Parker and their abysmal shooting efforts are footnotes and ignored. When LeBron shoots like that is it ignored?? OF course not...all eyes focus toward his whatever problems he has. Of course ignore the 18 assists he dealt out those two games and everything else he attempted to do.

IN the words of Belichick...It is what it is.
Damn it.
Its not the overall shooting %
In close def. battles like the Spurs and Cavs
its the last minutes of each quarter, especially the 4th.
Oberto absolutely destroyed the Cavs in the last few
minutes with layups in many of those games because Duncan
always draws doubles and such. Ginobili stretches
the D, Duncan draws the D in. Leaving gaps.

Do you think Oberto will help the Cavs?

Where did the easy shots come from on the Cavs?
Gooden cant do what Oberto did? Big I cant do that?
Lebron dribbles around out front and then just charges the
basket. His sense of spacing is just not there yet. Actually
his sense of spacing is quite bad but he can get away with
it because he is so good. He needs time to learn.
And he badly needs a PG.

I am enjoying this.
Keep em coming,
at least you watch the games.
