Epic Drop: Top 10 Signs That LeBron James Wasn't Getting Enough Help to Win Game7

Your list is here, and the amazing thing about today's game is that when you go into the numbers, James had even less help than you thought. Consider the numbers:

Szczerbiak: 1 board in 15 minutes

Ilgauskas: 2 for 8, 8 points and 5 boards

Wallace: 3 points and 4 boards in 30 minutes

West: 15 points, but 6 turnovers, in 45 minutes

The whole damn bench: 21 points in 72 minutes

And the final damning point... James was one Joe Smith rebound and a single blocked shot away from leading his team in every single category. That's points, free throws, three pointers, assists, boards, steals, and blocks. I can't remember a game where that was ever the case.

And if you're wondering about the Bird-Dominique game, in terms of relative support... For the Hawks, Doc Rivers had 18 points and 16 assists, Randy Wittman had 22 points, and the Hawks scored 69 non-star points in all. In terms of a Game 7, you've never seen a one-man act like today's.
