Golden State Warriors assistant coach Ron Adams, who has designed defenses for more than four decades, looks at defending LeBron James as an equation. Instead, the 67-year-old Adams approaches the problem like this: add up what the Warriors are willing to give up to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a whole - forget about what James does individually - and subtract it from the number of points Golden State expects to produce. ''We're not going to react to the stat sheet when he scores if it fits into our equation of what we're trying to do,'' Adams said Friday, a day after James scored 44 points in Golden State's 108-100 overtime victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
