Charley Rosen has a good explanation of Flip's adjustments in the 2nd half of Game 7. He makes it sound like the Pistons were holding some things back all series, and only pulled out the final defense on LeBron at the last minute as if Coach Brown (and more likely LeBron) could have countered anything if they had time to plan. Maybe the Pistons were hoping they could dispatch the Cavs easily and still hold back some tricks for next year's playoffs? Regardless, I think we most all underestimated the Cavs - they won 50 games after all (how many did the Pistons win in 2004 when the East was weaker?) and have an uber-player.
