My Pistons Lakers analysis is a bit different. I saw one team that came to compete and competed. I saw another team that thought the NBA Championship would be a coronation rather than a competition.
The Lakers never were mentally or physically prepared to fight for a ring. They quit in every game, because as a team, they didn't have that deep down commitment to do whatever it takes to win. Part of that is style of play, and part of that is will. The team with the stronger will clearly won.

And here I thought it was all about conditioning, defense and playing the same way they played all year, instead of attempting to play a brand new reactive style.
