Tay and Afflalo need to spend their time guarding Bron. Give Tay first crack but if that doesn't work try AA and follow the model set by the Rockets vs. Lakers. I would try and put Tay on him exclusively. When Bron sits; so does Tay. Or if Tay gets in foul trouble come with AA.

Let Rip and CB worry about scoring while Tay and AA worry about slowing down Bron.

In the Rockets v Lakers game; Battier's sole responsibility was stopping Kobe. When Kobe sat; so did Battier. It worked to perfection in that game.

I think the two different body styles of Tay and AA would work well if the officials don't treat AA like a rookie defender and call every touch foul.

I agree 100%

It would be a fragrant if they touch him!!

I'd be happy if Flip just tried ANYTHING out of the ordinary to try and stop The Bron. ...anything.

I'd kinda like to see Flipper stick some smaller/quicker dudes on him to see if that'll disrupt him a bit. It seems that the Pistons' biggest problem is staying in front of James. I think Lindsey or Spellcheck have a better chance of doing that than Tay has demonstrated. Hopefully, doing this (going small) would cause LeBron to try and post up against these little guys. It's a LOT easier for a big to slide over and help in that situation than it is when LeBron is blowing by Tayshaun and racing through the lane for a dunk.

Start with AA on him until he fouls out. Then put Maxiell on him until he fouls out. Then go with Amir until he fouls out.

Then in the 2nd quarter, go back to the way that we usually do it.

It's a good plan, but I'm not sure McDyess can stick with LeBron.

Its not always that bad with the calls because LBJ does not need them. Different from someone like Wade who needs and tries to get them.

Red alert!! The serial thread editor strikes again!

I LOVE THIS GAME! No one can stop them when they are focused! Slammed the door shut on LBJ and the rest are just average. Can't wait until next week when Horn comes on to take the Cavs calls.
