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.
