The Suns were solid on defense that season. Gentry had hem playing defense. Yeah LeBron torched some amazing defenses in those examples. It's disgusting the way the announcers in 2007 talked about having never seen someone torch Detroit like that before though (it had been done a year before). That game 7 in Boston in 2008 was amazing.

No they weren't. They had a 110 dRtg good for 23rd in the league that year on defense and in the modern league they would damn near be 30th.

Detroit and Boston were over the hill by then :mjpls:

Boston was the best defense in the league and one of the hottest teams coming into the playoffs. Paul Pierce was still putting up 20 per game and Rondo was considered one of the best PG's in the game, KG was in the DPoY talks and Ray Allen shot 45% from 3.

Cavs were considered the underdogs in that Detroit series.

Statistically then it became apparent early in the playoffs they were placeholder status like post 2006 Detroit.

They won 39 games out a 66 game schedule despite Ray Allen and Rondo missing 10+ games a piece. Statistically, they ranked as one of the best defenses of All-Time and they had three HoFers arguably four all playing at a high level.

Chris Bosh was coming off the bench in the latter part of that series because of injuries and that 45/15/5 was severely needed.

Unless you had eyeballs and common sense i.e. coasting, mileage and offensive holes.

Personally, I'm fond of Kobe's epic 6/24 FG performance in 2010's game 7 vs the celtics.

The way he passed the ball to Ron Artest to actually score :whew:

The killer instinct shining through with every brick :blessed:

What a game :wow:

u mean the 10 points he scored in the fourth quarter in which they were down
