Even the Pistons took Game 2 at home....and the vaunted Lakers, while they did draw close in the 4th, couldn't do what the Pistons did.
For that matter, Cleveland played the C's harder than the Lakers did. Atlanta did in Atlanta....but it's not a fair comparison yet (have not seen what LA will do in LA)
For all we hear about how tough the west was this year (and it was) what happened in the playoffs that allowed a team so seemingly soft to advance to the Finals?
