Re: 1/6: Toronto (17-16) vs. Cleveland (16-17)
Guarding Lebron is hard - you have to make him work hard to get the ball, and once he gets it, make him go somewhere he doesn't want to go (you can't stop him, but you can try to bait him into taking a long jumper). Everyone has to help when he drives, and when he kicks it out, try to recover and get hand a in the 3 point shooter's face.
The Raptors didn't do it in the fourth quarter - Lebron got into the lane at will, and was able to take wide open 3s. He barely had to break a sweat. The Raptors just didn't have the desire, the mental toughness, to close out the game.
