you don't know about the Cavs if you really think they were better with Hughes. Take it from the people that have watched them all year to tell you that Hughes sucks and West is a giant upgrade. Drew gave us points, yes, but Hughes sucks
Making shots against the Wizards's swiss cheese defense does not impress me. We all saw how a good defensive team(Spurs) made him MIA in the Finals.

Problem is, you really can't count on that kind of performance.
The key is the supporting cast. One or more of Boobie, Delonte and Wally will have to step up and consistently knock down the open looks they're bound to get, and Andy is going to have to understand he isn't Hot Rod Williams and go back to his strengths- defensive disruption, offensive rebounds, and flops. Those dream-shakes of his need to go.
EDIT- in the Suns fan's defense, although Hughes was a soul-sucking liability on offense, he is an excellent perimeter defender, and right now, the perimeter is our major weakness on that side of the ball.
dude I know. I'm just saying it could happen
Like I said, I'm open to all possibilities. As long as we have #23, we can't be counted out altogether. But it's gonna be tough.
Well we'll all see
boston will not even be challenged until the finals if pistons lose in first round
NOT!
Pierce is a stud and i hope he spits on LBJ again...
No, actually the Cavs..or lebron will lose to the Wiz
sounds promising, but if we made it the team still needs changes.
i dont think they can even beat wizards, their offense is limited to only 2 men
If Clevaland face the Celtics who's going to guard James?
that bag Paul Peirce...although he gives up 34 everytime he does. LBJ averages over 30 a night vs the C's
So your saying Lebron can beat Garnett, Pierce, Allen?
Garnett isn't going to allow those layups Lebron gets easily.
Pierce can be a really good defender.
Allen is just going to be knocking the jumpers down.
Funny, the same anti-Cavs arguments came out last season...
The Cavs matched up better against Boston before the trade. Gooden historically played well against them and was taller and more active than Wallace, who is useless against the Celtics.
The Cavs are worse than last year. Boston is better than anyone in the East was last year.
LeBron will be guarded first by Pierce, then Tony Allen and Posey. He will score a lot of points but shoot a lower than average percentage against the league's top defense. The Celtics will just look to take away his top percentage options and leave him with difficult shots.
If Cleveland makes it past Washington they'll get roughed up by Boston.
Why is it that whenever someone writes "book it", whatever "it" is, never happens?

I'm agreeing with this prediction as well. Besides being a big fan of Lebron, you gotta show some love for Mike Brown and Devin Brown. Plus with Lebron going ape every once in a while anything is possible.
lol if the Cav's win the East I will personally change my Moniker to Cavsrule~!
Devin Brown has been big for us. Other than LeBron and Z, he's been the most consistent guy on the roster over the course of the season. Not a great athlete or shooter, but does the little things.
Our biggest problem with Boston is we don't do a good job defending their pick-and-roll. They have killed us all season by going quickly down to their bigs as soon as we come out and hedge. Z isn't fast enough to get back in time, and Andy's been hurt, and when healthy his help defense has gone to the dogs. Big Baby has gotten awfully healthy at our expense.
C's in six if/when we get by the Wizards.
good point, but i still dont believe it......
we have 3 guys that can go off at any given time. Lebron,Wally, and D-Jones can all drop 50 on any given night. The only reason DJones doesn't is becuase he doesn't get the PT, but if he did you can pencil him in for 40 easily.
LeBron might win a game or 2 for them thats it. The Celts are just more then the Big 3. As for LeBron the Celts only have to slow him down. They know he is going to get his points but Tony Allen,Pierce,Posey will slow him down just enough and those dunks and layups won't be there for him with KG in the post. Also keep in mind that the Cavs lost both games in Boston and the C's have homecourt. The Cavs were better before the trade. I know Gooden was prone to being a bonehead but his offense will be missed.
1) Spurs were 0-2 vs the Cavs last year, what did that get them?
2) Lebron played 2 games vs the C's, lost one, won one
3)If you honestly think the Cavs are better with Hughes as the PG you know nothing about the Cavs . Hughes sucks. He was a SG playing point and was shooting close to 20% from the field.
I said Gooden I did not mention Hughes.
you said they were better off before the trade, a trade that included Hughes. I would rather have West Wally and Ben than Gooden. Gooden only showed up once a week
