Thanks.for posting. This is what stood out to me:

But Atlanta didn't lose this series because it was lacking a superstar. It lost it because it was less devoted to its game plan than Cleveland was and because it hit 31 percent of its uncontested 3-pointers and 20 percent of its catch-and-shoot triples -- half its regular-season rate. Defensively, its big men were slow to get up early on ball screens, something it normally excels at. And an interior-oriented defense that must be quick to close to the perimeter was too slow to react.

As I stated before the series started, it would come down to them hitting their shots. They didn't and Cleveland did; end of story. Not all that bitter, to the victor goes the spoils...
