But James shouldn't be setting up Ilgauskas, because James plays in a completely wrong system. He's forced to play in a wrong system because of the very presence of Ilgauskas. Ilgauskas is a liability. Ilgauskas is a detriment. Ilgauskas' stats don't exist in a vacuum. James is a thoroughbred forced to play like a glue horse. What a shameful waste. It's like watching Secretariat hooked up to a cart dragging an Amish family of four. Is Ilgauskas better out there with James than say, Dwayne Jones? Yes. But that's not much of a comfort. The very presence of Ilgauskas is the biggest reason, no pun intended, the Cavs have spent years playing such damned ugly, crowd displeasing basketball. John, Pat posed a "Pat Wonders" question. Nobody needs you to play blog traffic cop. John, Ilgauskas is an OK player only when he has James to set him up.

Stay with Brian's blog. Keep away from Pat. Allow the rest of us one sane place in this world. Tonight was the perfect example??? With the game Lebron had, what would the score have been without Z? a blowout loss. It was Z who kept the team in the game. Z who hit the shot to put them up. Z who put in Lebron's miss to tie the game. Bottom line, Pat is insightful and fun to read. You are neither. Go back to Brian's blog. Alan. Stay with Brian's blog. Keep away from Pat.

Who cares what his stat line was, what in the world is a team featuring LeBron James doing running (actually jogging and walking) a halfcourt offense? It's outrageous. The local sportswriters love Ilgauskas because he represents everything that you guys are. White, slow, hard-working, and overachieving in an underachieving kind of way. Guys who would never make it in New York or Los Angeles, but are right at home here. Just like Z. But please, whatever you do, don't shave your head. That would be a bad look.
