I like LBJ’s game but I have to say there’s still some changes to be done. He and mike brown are still using that predictible pick-and-roll which all good D teams like SA, Detroit, and Boston have figured out.

LBJ doesn’t have that low and high post game yet. I really wonder why he doesn’t punish guys in the post. That’s what separates him from MJ and Kobe. Plus the fact that his FTs are streaky unlike the 2.

Mike Brown should go if they mess up in this play-offs. Same old problems every year.

Lebron needs some help before he gets frustrated and bounces. Kobe has an off night and the Lakers can still win. Lebron having an off night equals a loss. There is MUCH more talent surrounding Kobe…the addition of Gasol is what finally put the Lakers over the top. Lebron needs his help too. Plus if Kobe was Lebron age and on the same team he would be jacking up even more shots…look at Kobe’s 81 and that was last year.

would mike brown ever take a demotion??? cavs would have an amazing coaching staff if they had brown AND dantoni like lady luck suggested.

as much as i hate mike brown and think he looks like an idiot when he talks basketball…his team gets stops. ie wiz series, boston series, last years finals.

I agree, Mike Brown is mostly at fault for not putting Lebron in a situation to capitalize on his strengths, but I think it is also laziness on Lebron’s part. I see it with Baron Davis a lot. He has the strength to get to the hole, but often times he settles for step back three’s. It’s infuriating.

@Gee
wasup yo?
This will not be a catalyst for change for Cleveland. I mean it’s too late. The way contracts are dealt with in the NBA is just freakin stupid. They can’t do anything with what they have, they don’t even have decent trade bait!! They have Ben Wallace, (washed up big time 16 mil), Wally, (slow as bigfoot 12 mil). Nobody wants that crap, they should have stuck with what they had. I liked Larry hughes when he wasn’t hurt, he just had a hard time adapting to Mike Brown’s sh*tty system. I didn’t like Marshall, I mean dude was crappy, but he didn’t make 12 or 16 mil a season. NBA contracts need to be like NFL contracts, you get a bonus which you are gauranteed, but they should be able to cut you when you aren’t producing. That would motivate these players to give there all.

I love how lebron homers are up his ass soooo much that he soots 3-57 or something and people still blame his teammates lol. His teammates are the only reason their even in the games at this point. Big Z has been more clutch than lebron so far. could you all please get off his nuts? hes a big pg, but the rest of his game is still average when it comes to shooting and defense and teams are showin that. Just like the spurs last year, any team that really plays FULL team defense (not just sticking one guy on him ala ronnie brewer) murder lebron cuz he can’t just use his size to his advantage that easy. 90% of lebrons points come from fast break, wide open lane dunks and foul shots. Now that hes not gettin those, we suddenly blame his teammates even more. Your right, lebron shouldn’t have to fix his flaws, he just needs better players around him.

And on top of that you make it like lebron is the only guy to ever get a average team to the playoffs by himself….your right, tmac never did it, iverson never did it, vince carter never did it, etc…so lets not make i like hes teh first guy to be on a team that wasn’t stacked with people. hence the sarcasm

Celts have shown that all you need to shut Bron down is take away his drive. If he can’t drive and barrel through cats for layups and dunks, then he has to rely on a relatively weak jumper that only falls if he’s extremely hot. I guess if you like that best….

And yeah, give him better teammates, and more time, and he’ll be all set. And he’s already the second-best player in the L, but he’ll be waaaaay better if he gets his flaws handled.
