Getting whacked
Posted June 11th, 2007 by Ron
No one outside Cleveland and San Antonio is watching the NBA Finals.
Nearly everyone outside of Cleveland that is watching is saying the Cavaliers are the worst team to ever make the NBA Finals.
LeBron James hasn't played anywhere near a good game, let alone a great one.
It has taken four days for nearly all of the good feelings about this season to get wiped away.
Where is this leading?
The Cavs have to win one game in this series. They need something to build on this offseason, something to build on for next season, something to think about in the playoffs next year.
Brian Windhorst, the Beacon Journal's Cavs beat writer, started this postseason with a column about the intermediate steps that teams have taken on their path to eventually winning a title. And he is right.
But the Cavs can't afford to trip over their feet at home this week.

The first thing that needs to be done is to get rid of Larry Hughes. He was bad before he got hurt and is completely worthless now. Gibson needs to play major minutes. We need to add one more complementary player, preferably at Center.

Find a taker, any taker, for Hughes…and I'm sure Gilbert will put you on his payroll right now. The whole league knows he's worthless. Err, except Mike Brown, who still thinks the injured-bust should be starting. For that decision alone, which has already cost the team dearly, Mr. Brown should be seeking new employment. Like Mary Poppins, his defensive work is done here. Now let us bring in a coach that can possibly design an offensive play that works. CYO leagues are full of them.

I have a good feeling the Cavs will win all three games at home.
