This is why the cavs won if you ask me...They played them tougher...especially after those first few games....I would think more teams would notice that....but your right times have just changed and the refs won't allow that style of play anymore.

I dont think it had to do with physicality.

1. They switched steph on lebron every play early to put him in foul trouble.

2. Barnes couldn't hit shots to save his life.

3. Kyrie is unguardable and he saved them in game 5 when the cavs was ready to give up

Chris Paul robbed us of what Griffin could have developed into as a dribbler/passer/end to end finisher. It's not like they've had any real postseason success, at the very least Griffin would have been entertaining.

It's funny, I think this about a lot of players. To me, I feel like a couple players that have a lot of potential need to play without help for a few years so they can really tap into their talent. When you get to play next to another all-star/superstar caliber player, especially one that dominates the ball then they restrict their style of play. When stars are forced to carry a team for awhile it can help them in the long run. That's just how I see it anyway. :manny:

I'm sure some will disagree though
