This is what you are indirectly telling me. Thanks.
I'm beginning to agree that this is just a troll who says really dumb to get a reaction.

But he is 38 years old and here you are getting on your knees for him. What Shaq did in 2000 is moot now. He is no where near that level anymore. Are you trying to tell me that you are not contradicting yourself due to what Shaq did in 2000-2002?
You were going well with this act but now you are failing dramatically.
That is exactly what he is.
I think it's time to take a stroll down memory lane. Throughout the LeBron James era Cavalier fans have always wondered "Why aren't we called elite when we took Boston to 7 and gave them the hardest series they had all playoffs?" or "Why aren't we called elite when we when the ECF without HCA against the Detroit Pistons?"
The common answer from most analysts was that Cleveland gave up too many easy wins against bad opponents. Now we tick over to last season and the Cavs are blowing out every team that wasn't elite and even then handed out some floggings to the Celtics, Nuggets, Mavs, Spurs. The Cavaliers had finally found that consistency and were good enough to blow out the ty teams and be a true contender.
Mike Brown didn't leave the starters in there for 40mpg, in fact LeBron played the least amount of MPG ever, even lower than his rookie season at 37.7 (his rookie season was 39.5 by the way). Mo, Z, Big Ben all had their minutes go down. Delonte and AV had their minutes go up slightly but no where this so called 40minutes you claim.
I know Mike Brown should have played Boobie Gibson major minutes whilst he has battled with an injury all season and lets match him up with Pietrus, or for brains Sasha Pavlovic or perhaps the defensive dynamo Wally Szczerbiak. You couldn't have meant the rookie with a back injury JJ Hickson?
The only I will give you is that Mike Brown is extremely stubborn when it comes to his defensive adjustments. From inside sources on Cavaliers boards there was some tension between the assistants and Brown as to making the Magic match up with us instead of Brown playing the waiting game. The Cavaliers didn't have the personnal to match-up with the Magic on the wings like they do now. Small ball with that offense in the 4th Q in game 5 with LJ at the 4 was what I thought would work except giving Pavs or Wally major minutes as the SF would be its folly. Now the Cavaliers can play Moon there who I think will surprise alot of people this season.
Except that the Cavaliers have added two solid wings in Moon and Parker, another year of development for LeBron, people like Gibson and JJ getting healthy.
Shaq is replacing the juggernaut Ben Wallace. The spacing issue is overblown. This is what coaches would have been figuring out all off-season. It's not the perfect set-up but it will get the job done. Lets have a big man rotate off Shaq and leave him wide open or AV wide open on a cut, he has got the best reverse lay-up in the NBA, no joke.
I didn't literally mean 40 MPG, but he did not use his bench very much, you can't deny that.
And if the problem is the bench sucked and he only had 6-7 players worth using, that's something he should have addressed at the trade deadline, and should get blame for pretending lack of depth wasn't a problem.
What are his assist numbers? He was doing a lot of his work dishing it off o Dwight cause West was screened off him so easily and Dwight's guy had to help.
The Sheed acquistion is being way overrated just because he landed with the C's
You're either a really funny troll, or a stupid San Antonio Mexican. I can't tell.
seeings as though you have been owned twice, the stupid comment would be a more likely reference for yourself!

in ay. Cavs can deal with his lazy ass quite easily.
DUNCAN has been on the rag all weekend.
I'll hold you to that boast, thank you.
I bet that if they have more points than their opponents that they'll win it all.
you need a in superduperstar to win in this league. Kobe last year, KG year before, Duncan*4... Shaq*3... Dirk*1.. Hakeem*2 MJ *6
Can a 34 YO KG (come playoffs) who showed dip in production last year and is coming off a knee injury lead a team to a championship? Highly doubt it
Pierce? Not really a superstar, and he's past his prime as well.
To me the Celtics as currently constructed are similar to those Suns/Pistons/Kings teams from the standpoint that while a nice collection of talent, they lack the guy who has "it"...although KG used to have it.
Can they win the East? Sure... although against the Cavs/Magic they have the disadvantage of NOT having the best player on the court at all times. Even if they do, the Lakers or Mavs will hand their ass to them in the Finals.
tee, hee.
In the improbable event that anyone other than the Lakers makes it out of the West, it will be the Mavs rather than any other team.
4-1 gots
I'd go 40% Boston, 30% Cleveland, 30% Orlando.
I'll stand by the 40/30/30 Boston advantage in the east, and 50/50 with the Lakers if we come out of the west. Boston has one of the most stacked rosters in the history of the league, you cant deny they are beastly.
If Garnett does not return to full health, this team has a 0% chance of winning. Pierce and Allen better remain the same and Rondo has to improve if they want to get out of the East alive.
The sixers are looking more and more like they will be my darkhorse pick in the east.
Agreed.
Even though... KG is the real glue in Boston so they will be especially good because of him and not Sheed.
How? By subtracting Andre Miller and adding Jrue Holiday?
