After Boozer stabbed poor, blind Gordon Gund in the back, slept with his wife, and kicked him while he was laying face down in the Cavs’ front office, what would you have done differently to remedy the situation? The Cavs turned a deal for an expiring contract and a draft pick into Drew Gooden and Andy Varejao. Top that, if you please.

Instead of the Cavs signings of Larry, Donyell, and Damon 3 years ago, what would you have done differently? Kidnap Joe Johnson perhaps? Cover Ray Allen’s face with an Ether-soaked rag, toss him in the team plane and pretend Cleveland was Seattle when he woke up? Let me guess, you would have rather just kept the cap space and gone to war with the Silas special backcourt of Eric Snow and Ira Newble? I’m ablaze with curiosity.

At the trade deadline, would you have made the deal the Cavs made, or a different one? If you would make a different deal, which deal would you make? Two future 1st round picks, Daniel Gibson, and Drew Gooden for Jason Kidd? Z, Gooden, and the picks for Shaq?

And one more scenario, on the future of the Cavs. Submit one legitimate idea regarding how the Cavs should approach the offseason. Go after Shawn Marion and give him a max deal? Perhaps trade 1, 2, or all 3 of our draft picks this year for a veteran player? Contribute something instead of being “that guy” for once, okay Alan?

Seriously, you must be a liberal Democrat, because all you do is bitch and moan about things, and offer no plan of action to back up your criticism. Probably the type who rants “I hate this war, we need an exit strategy” and when asked what you would do differently, have no answer other than an immature comment about torturing kittens. If basketball were as simple as you make it out to be in your last paragraph, every team with a superstar would be championship caliber. Contrary to your beliefs, it isnt as easy as it must look, in your eyes anyway…

Bottom line is it doesn’t matter who’s on the court, James has been royally screwed by the tall white bald guy in the front office. So I have devised a revolutionary idea which will make those old “Red on Roundball” spots seem retarded by comparison. http://www.nba.com/roundball/index.html Basically, Brown’s assistant coaches should find the four most mobile guys who make the most consecutive shots during that particular night’s pregame warmups. Then, Brown should start and play them all until they drop or until they foul out, whichever comes first.

I dont think a 6′7 guard who runs the floor like Sasha does could be deemed a “stiff”, especially as young as he is. I guess giving up on him would be just as well. We obviously have plenty of height and athleticism at the 2 guard position, right? Even if he used Sasha to give LeBron a breather, that would be a few minutes a game, at least.

The offense comes from James orchestrating (scoring, dishing, penetrating), guys like Z and Ben hitting the boards, and guys like Gibson, Wally, etc knocking down the wide-open shots they get from James. Posting James always seems to work, but the Cavs only do so a handful of times a game. They need to be more consistent and execute better, basically.

As for you analysis of the running game, even if Z is on the court, most fast breaks come from a rebound/outlet pass/3 on 2 type situation. 5 players are not required to run a fast break. I dont think the Showtime Lakers had Kareem finishing on the break too often, come to think of it? Phoenix still runs their break, even with Shaq in the equation.

What Brown needs to figure out is who to have on the court and when. I thought his crunch time lineup v the Nets (no matter how bad they are, its a win) was very good. Gibson, Wally, LeBron, Smith and Z, I believe it was. Sorry for any confusion, but that’s what I meant.

OK, let’s assume Windy’s “It isn’t that the Cavs are a great fastbreak team, it’s that they are such a terrible halfcourt offensive team” is true. Well, this means that Ilgauskas needs to be removed from the court ASAP. Correct? Pronto, no questions asked.

So where does offense come from if they can’t play halfcourt? I mean, besides from James? Brown would almost be better off playing the entire playoffs with James at center, like Earvin Johnson had to do in the title game against Philadelphia in 1980. Then surround James with all the guys who have any semblance of movement left in them. Put a wig and some very tasteful white makeup on Brown. Tell them to pretend they’re in Oakland and that Don Nelson has shrunk and is now wearing those poorly-tailored baggy suits that Brown used to wear. And then let ‘em all loose.

By the way, have they increased that zero halftime budget that Windy wrote about here? Guys playing billiards, or whatever. The Blue Jackets between-period presentations ain’t exactly a party on ice, either. Come to think of it, watching dogs catch Frisbees on ice would be great entertainment for young and old alike, they should be doing that at Cavs games, I should probably suggest it for Blue Jackets games. It doesn’t matter how horrid the Blue Jackets are, but so long as he doesn’t get hurt, watching a crazed lunatic Border Collie speeding 200 MPH into the boards like LeBron driving down I-71 would be totally worth the price of admission.

That said, if the Cavs can bottle that kind of second half effort in the playoffs, I’m not sure who beats them in a 7 game series.

I’ve said it already, but Mike Brown holds the key. If he can figure out how to use the talent he has on this roster, the Cavs could really make a push. If not, I’m afraid no-talent clowns like Ric Bucher will be puffing out their chests and donning Celtics gear during the NBA Finals.

Amber: Go play with your dolls… adults are talking.

“Ferry obviously think Brown stinks to high heaven, or else he wouldn’t have declined the team’s option, signed Pavlovic and forced Gilbert & Co. to pay millions in luxury tax for a stiff that looks like Dracula and plays like a coked-up Herman Munster. Hence, that huge budget for dudes playing billiards at halftime.”

How could you hate a guy that compared Sasha to Dracula and a coked-up Herman Munster?
