All the Warriors had to do to stop Lebrons domination is put a mediocre 7 footer down low to help when Lebron drives. It changed Lebrons game, he is now forced to pass or shoot mid range shots. He isn't finishing anywhere near as much at the basket as he did in game one or the last series.
Now imagine Lebron having to deal to with Ewing, Shaq, Olajuwon, etc...And at that time with no illegal defense rule. He would have had to have a completely different game.
