1) Force LeBron James to take jump shots
LeBron James is at his strongest when he is scoring in the paint rather than taking outside jump shots. For Toronto to win it is important to keep LeBron away from his strengths. According to NBA.com this season James is shooting 37.6 per cent from three point, his best season being 40.6 per cent in the 2012-2013 season. Last season he had one of his worst seasons in terms of three-point percentage shooting at 30.9 per cent. It was almost as bad as his rookie season when he shot 29 per cent.
