Interesting. charles barkley and doug collins are a little bit more valid. I mean...at least we have heard of them.

There have been tons of stuff written about the 1st game and how effective the Cavs defense with the unusual matchups one of which was LeBron James guarding the point guard was in the first half. Your point is almost indefensible. I'm sure there is video available of the first half of the game. When Alston and Johnson are bringing the ball up the court and they are being guarded by LeBron james, how doesnt this not count?

If the one man zone was effective, why did they go away from it? Perhaps because the man who was not being guarded, alston, hit a couple of open jumpers (11 pts)? Hmmmm

You have to stop the ball. That is a basic rule in defense and alston isnt a threat to get to the basket or do anything once he gets there. Self check. So once the ball is passed that is when the play starts.

I dont know how many magic games you watched but they are not a pg dominated offense especially when the little guy got injured.

5 on 4 not man to man.

Uh because the Magic made adjustments? Alston had 5 points at halftime. Cleveland did do pretty well in the first half the other night.

James guarded the point guard. This is fact. Not opinion.
