Pick their poison?

George’s comments better capsulized the Pacers’ quandary, and why it might be hard to stay the course. At first, George insisted he didn’t need the cavalry to come, that he merely needed to “battle” to “push him out a little further.” But, with each answer (“not much moving you can do when he’s planted down there”), it became clear that he welcomed assistance or adjustment.

“LeBron’s just got to know that they’re there,” George said of his teammates. “He can’t feel like he’s isolated down there. He is, if not the best player, one of the best players in the league. You give him five dribbles at the block, you’re giving him two points.”

How to do that without the doubling or trapping tactics Indiana generally avoids? George and David West both spoke of digging, showing, disguising, which essentially means half-committed, not-always-obvious help, just enough to get James’ attention, create confusion, throw off his timing.

“LeBron’s just got to know, he sees David West, he sees George, he sees Lance (Stephenson), we’ve got to make sure he feels our presence down there,” George said.

“We let Paul down in that LeBron was getting four, five, six dribbles, and I don’t think there’s a guy in the NBA who you can guard if you give him that many dribbles,” West said.

You certainly can’t guard this guy, especially not since he recognized the only gaping hole in his game, and spent some of the 2011 offseason working with Hakeem Olajuwon on his precision and patience.
