I don't disagree with either statement. I think the team WILL miss his creation, no question. But, I also believe that he is FAR from understanding how to apply his skills to beat an elite team in a 7-game series. He doesn't make his team better, contrary to popular opinion around here - his team just benefits from him being great. That's not the same thing, and you have to be good the first way if you're going to have the ball in your hands all the time. Maybe he'll figure it out, but when I read the phrase "revenge tour"...that isn't the right mindset to make the kind of adjustment I, personally, believe needs to be made.
