No team has ever won a ring when their 2nd banana was just as good as Mo Williams is. He was the 2nd best player in Milwaukee too and they couldn't get out of the 1st round.

Yea cavs are really a bad team.
They season record showed it :rolleyes

This team had everything it needed to take the title to Cleveland, but it ocured that Mike Brown have no invension when it comes to the offense. Pop used to be the same.
Brown had nothing in offesnive arsenal but LeBron on the top of a key. There is no team offense, they only got what LeBron could give nad James prooduction was outstanding. But there is something more to an incredible basketball player. And you either Russell or Wilt in terms of winning.

Shit, their D this series was not great as well.

I feel for LeBron & the Cavs. They work hard to get the best record, HCA throughout and their season ends in Orlando.

I know that Cleveland will be working hard this offseason to surround LeBron w/the right kind of talent to compete and win a championship. Despite LB haterion by some, I like him and I hope he does win a championship or two or three......as that saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will the Cavs. It took Jordan how many years before he won the first of his many championships and became a legend. :king

I don't understand how people can like an egomaniac like LeBron. No matter how good he is.

Not ONE defensive adjustment the whole series to the magic.

Not one.

I doubt you're enough of a basketball authority to know that. To me it looked like they made some adjustments in Game 3, didn't allow quite so many threes, but abandoned them after they lost the game. Unfortunately what Brown didn't realize is that defensively Cleveland did more than enough to win Game 3, but that was their worst offensive day in the series.

I'm not sure what you wanted Mike Brown to do defensively. None of his players match up physically with Orlando's three best guys. Even saying, "Well LeBron can guard Hedo" is over-simplistic because all Turkoglu needs is a screen to get past him and deal with a big on a switch. The Magic had mismatches all over the place.

As for offense, I agree Mike Brown is a terrible offensive coach, but it's a little late in the game to change the offense. This is the way the Cavs played the whole year and it worked for them. Me, I would've given Mo Williams more responsibility to run the offense, like he did with the Bucks. Here he's basically a catch and shoot guy, which isn't his game. Cleveland's biggest problem is that no one is a threat to score in the paint besides James and none of their bench guys can shoot consistently, at all. They really didn't have an answer for Pietrus.
