Well, of course it's not all the defense, as I said, and said last game, but it is the main factor over the course of the games, for LeBron's struggles
Part of that is LeBron's inconsistent jumpshot
The Playoffs don't care about your Analytics

The difference being what? When Kobe was 23, he was fortunate enough to have the best player in the NBA on his team to cover up the flaws in his game.
No one's disregarding Lebron's age- but when comparing who is the better play currently- age really has no meaning whatsoever.
Damn

Well then yes, Kobe is the best player in the NBA. But wasn't that the consensus coming into the playoffs? I know every post I've made on the subject had Kobe #1.
But the supporting cast is a factor as well. And Utah doesn't have Boston's defense.

Really? Didn't Joe Johnson shoot 37% in Boston? Including shooting 30% in the first two games. Better than LeBron yes, but "explode"? Lets see what LeBron does in the next two games. The Hawks got blown out twice in Boston. The Cavs almost took Game 1.
