Yes he single handedly brought the Magic back in the game in the second half. However, in a game where it comes down to the last shot, you can have your pick of things that factored into the outcome, be it Rafer's play, Allowing Howard all these dunks in overtime, lack of Cavs bench scoring... etc.
The overall theme of series has been the Cavs inability to defend the 3 point shot.
Game one: They allowed the Magic to come back from a 17 point deficit and allowed Reshard Lewis to take a game wining 3.
Game two: They allowed the Magic to come from a 23 point deficit mainly by not defending the 3 point shot.
Game 4: Same story not defending the 3 shot. Including the last Magic shot in regulation that put them up by two. For Heaven’s sake, they had Wallace defending Lewis on that shot!
Yesterday it was Allston, but it could have been anyone. What I’m saying is that when you have a repeat problem, usually it on the coach to figure it out… and his lack of meaningful adjustment is what doomed the Cavs yesterday.
