he took on the principal responsibility of shutting down Murray in the second half, which totally swung the game. Offense isn't all that matters, Proximo.Umm, lead them? Well I guess it depends on your definition of leading.
Dude kept fighting and fighting through it. He had an AWFUL 1st half with 4 points and 2 assists and 2 rebounds, but in the second half he clamped down on Murray, had 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.I think the media is trying so hard to make him the face of the NBA and he's not quite there yet. Any other star that had such a lousy game 7 would be getting all kinds of crap.
And for the series, he averaged 29/5.5/5.5. Yes. When you averaged that over 7 games and defeat the defending champs in Game 7 on the road, it means he led the team to the Conference Finals.
