Boobie NEEDS MORE SHOTS! How can u be the best shooter on the team and only get 4 shots? Dwayne Jones need weight training. Mike Brown can do something about tthose things. The players know what he expects on defense they need more heart. I know their record will be worse this year than the last. 17.5 million down the drain that Should Have went to a point guard.

It was when Jared Jeffries picks up a loose ball about 30 feet from the hoop, Damon Jones steps out beyond the 3 point line to pick him up then the 6-11 Jeffries proceeds to blow by Jones for an easy layup. How Damon Jones did'nt make Bill Simmons '25 worst contracts list is beyond me. BW, my favorite focusless play from last night was not on your list.

"LeBron will set you up on offense. Don't do anything stupid. And we're using the same defenses we've used since the day I was hired. Continue using them." They're not "listening" to this? Maybe those terrific team doctors did something to their ears. The players “aren’t listening to him?” What’s to listen to? “LeBron will set you up on offense. Don’t do anything stupid.

Yes, he is rich beyond all our wildest dreams. But carrying this much dead weight while under the constant scrutiny of the inter-national sports media and the title hopes of an entire region has got to be exausting, both physically and emotionally. I look at this team and see two other players that can be considered good nba players. Drew and Z. And both of them have glaring deficiencies in their games. They both are absolutely dependent on James, too. But, for the most part, at least offensively, they do help James. After them, I'm not sure what is on the Cavs. I almost feel sorry for Lebron James.

They got to the finals last year beacause of a weak East and the play of their superstar and some good defense. IF they aren't listening to him, he's not the right coach. Would Jerry Sloan accept what's happened? Pat Riley? Popovich? Pathetic. This is a low point for them. They need to wake up and give defensive effort night in and night out. They wanted a new offense and they got it. I'm tired of hearing how Larry Hughes has quietly protested playing the point. Who cares? How about playing some good basketball. He used to be considered a good defensive player in Washington with lots of steals, what happened? This team has no heart and no guts and it showed in last year's finals. Time for someone other than LeBron to show he cares! sick to my stomach! They way this team has played, you need to question if Brown is the right coach.

What happens if it comes immediately after Hughes is hurt again? When do they suck it up and cut that guy? I hope we can read the touching story behind the Hughes signing in the BJ soon. Is it in the book? Count me in when the bandwagon arrives. What happens if it comes immediately after Hughes is hurt again? When do they suck it up and cut that guy?

A dunce in the front office forces him to play Shannon Brown against his will because they hope to dump what little is remaining of salary on somebody. A dunce in the front office tells him Eric Snow is his best option at point guard. A dunce in the front office tells him that Daniel Gibson is a point guard. A dunce in the front office tells him that maybe Daniel Gibson isn't a point guard, but maybe Larry Hughes can sometimes double as one. A dunce in the front office tells him that Zydrunas Ilgauskas is a wonderful complement to LeBron James, as if Secretariat and box turtles are natural companions in the wild. A dunce in the front office says, "Oops, I have zero confidence in that Shannon Brown fellow," so he sends a handwritten note attached to a carrier pigeon and begs the very same agent he spent five months pissing off and makes a deal for an ostracized Serb with a Dracula widow's peak. On and on and on and on and on and on. They'll be in the playoffs in May, James will again have carried them there. The only question I have is why anybody really expected anything else. This squad has a several season consistently random history of ebbs and flows and peaks and valleys. Pretty soon James will carry them to an eight-game winning streak, and the same people knocking them will be riding the 'ol bandwagon again. I don’t get it.

I know its not lame larry, they do not want him back, Z do not fit there style and boobie is a free agent next year but his salary do not match dre miller, so im stuck, yes i messed this team up, kind of remind me of the time big wayne traded ron harper to the clippers to get me, well thats how bad i feel. Im sorry cleveland, I tried hard to make amends, but i dropped the ball. its going to be a while but i hope to make the situation better, give me a couple of years, hopefully by then my boy "bron bron" will stick around for his new caddies. Im trying just have to be patient, hell enjoy the browns this winter and do not focus to much on my goof up over at quick and loans, hell d gilbert do not take my calls anymore. but i will make it thru, just do not treat me like they treat "zeke" over in new york. alright im out of here, your lame gm danny ferry. i just cannot up and make a trade, sure i would love dre miller but who do i have anyone that the 76er’s want?

Now those are the two TEAMS that will play in the EC final. Just look at their rosters. Top to bottom they are solid. And they are both very consistent. Detroit got lucky and won this particular matchup, but in a 7 game series they would definitely battle it out for 7 games. I love the Cavs, but when you look at their roster you will pretty easily see that they were overachievers last year and had the easy road to the EC Final. It will not be that easy this year and I hate to say it but I don't see the Cavs making it back. They just don't have the consistent quality play from anybody besides Lebron, while Detroit and Boston are just stacked with talent that performs at their peak pretty much on a nightly basis. I don't see anybody except maybe Orlando competing with them. I watched the Celtics vs Pistons last night. Now those are the two TEAMS that will play in the EC final. Just look at their rosters.
