leaders, they always had others to play that role on past teams.
And then not having a traditional point guard hurt. Sure they had multiple guys who can dribble and pass but nobody who's primary concern was to get other guys shots. PG's struggles shouldn't have lasted more that 1 game.
These days a lot of teams seem to be going away from the traditional point guard role with mixed success. Obviously it works for GS because they have a unique player like Draymond. Even with the Lakers even though Bron is the default point guard its nice to have Rondo. You see Malone in Denver giving some other guys run because as good as Murray is he can be out of control sometimes and shoot you out of a game.
In the East semi-finals I loved watching Lowry and Smart grind it out.
Miami is interesting because of how they play. They have Dragic who is a vet and has been balling. I think Kendrick Nunn is trying to work his was back into the rotation. In Boston Kemba and Smart kind of share the role not unsimilar to the situation in Toronto.
