Interesting take on Shaq, Cavs

Interesting story from SI.com here on Shaq, who isn't playing huge minutes but is contributing in big ways to the Cavs recent successful run.

The good thing about the rosterĀ is that in the regular season Shaq does not need to play big minutes. Mike Brown can keep him at 20-to-25 per game, because he has depth — and will gain more depth when Leon Powe returns. But if Shaq is needed more, the Cavs can play him more. Which will happen against teams like Orlando, San Antonio and the Lakers.

This is the beauty of the way the Cavs are built. They can put many different lineups on the floor, and feel good about them. Quite frankly Brown deserves credit for the way he's managed all the different lineups. Last I looked the Cavs have the best record in basketball — in a season when it took a fair amount of time for all the parts to come together.

I really feel good about this team, and its postseason chances. Barring injury of course.
