Lebron lost this series despite great personal stats because he couldn't command a double-team, and the Magic could stay at home and lock his teammates down.
Stan said as much: "we didn't double. we wanted him to go 1-on-1 and get stats in the 09 ECF (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=466601)"
Lebron's long-dribble style simply doesn't make good playoff teams work sufficiently on defense/wear them down, which would blunt their offensive attack - opponents are comfortable defensively vs bron-ball, so they have max capacity to go off offensively
Ultimately, Lebron's long-dribble style has never won the attrition battle versus great ball movement - again, Stan Van Gundy and Steve Kerr wanted the ball in his hands/didn't double (https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-22-2019/6e5aBZ.gif) him because it's easier to guard his long dribble than ball movement

Put some respect on Hedo and Rashard's name.
