So, in the Eastern Conference finals the question is can the Pistons stop LeBron James? James has had a dynamite post-season, averaging 27.3 PPG while dishing off an average of six assists and grabbing 6.7 rebounds.<\/p>\n

The fact is that these two teams look relatively even on paper. However, the Pistons excel at the foul line\u00e2\u20ac\u201d77.4% to 69.5%. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the biggest differential between these clubs.<\/p>\n
The Cavs have never won a NBA Championship and the last time they went to the conference finals was in 1992 when James was 7. Last year, they were eliminated in the semi-finals. The Pistons lost in the Eastern Conference Championship last year and have won 3 NBA titles. In a short but stellar career, James has shown steady growth and has become a team leader and fan favorite.<\/p>\n
The Cavaliers won the series 4 games to 2, winning the final game 88- 72. The difference in the game was the three-point line, from which Cleveland shot 41% to New Jersey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 19%.<\/p>\n
James and the Cavs look hot. But can they beat a fine defensive, well-oiled team like the Pistons. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about this time that clubs with a balanced attack and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153D\u00e2\u20ac? define themselves as winners.<\/p>\n
