letting delonte west start is a BIG mistake. he’s strong and he’s an ok player but he’s not a starting wing player on a championship team. he’s gonna do great as a sixth man next season. clevelands bench is very potent next season and guarding lebron when shaq plays is gonna be an even more daunting task then it already is

I disagree. There’s no way in hell Van Gundy outcoached Mike Brown. If anything, he outcoached himself. For example, where was Joe Smith in that series?

The series came down to this: The Cavs were cold on offense and the magic were hot on offense at the same time. Yes, size was a factor, but you have to admit if we make a couple more open shots we sway the series to our favor. Likewise, if the Magic shot more toward their season ave. for 3 pt % than the insane % they shot in the ECF that would also sway the series our way.

For as lousy as we played offensively, we made the series surprisingly close. It’s true that Cleveland could only beat themselves, and to a large extent they did.

Don’t sign Z he’s slow and average 11 points. The Cavs don’t need 2 slow centers. Get leon powe then when come off injury start him pf and let varejao sixth man for shaq position so there would be speed
Cavs players who choke against magic are:
Mo wally Ben Big Z not completely Delonte west he got his points.
Lebron didn’t choke cavs did excluded James even the coach joke

Coach Mike Brown can’t coach, the best he does is hyped the team thats it. He doesn’t have effective strategies
lineup adjustment or anything. The two point of view why he lost was because he didn’t adapt to the magics offense
switching guys to a different isn’t adapting unless you have a gameplan. Two he rely on LeBron way too much like he was the team and when his team mates got the ball they panic and shoot brick. But this year they got shaq and a bench. One thing don’t sign Z he was suppose to be the third scorer and average only 11 points come on man

when your big adjustment in the series is to give more playing time to Sasha Pavolvic, you’ve been outcoached

Lebron gets blamed for the loss because he shot sumthing around 35% from the field. Of course his percentages go up to around 50% cuz of the 20ft attempts per game. Face it Mike brown, the refs were giving you guys the game and everyone choked. Including Lebron who disapeared in the fourth time and time again.

The length argument is bull…As stated not having LeBron take our Hedo or Rashard was a mistake.

In the regular season LeBron would switch on to Dwight and give him problems…

Defensively Cavs didn’t play all of their cards right…

Mo Williams erratic play was very much the reason why people are separated by their regular seasons and their playoff performances. He looked gun shy too often.

LeBron’s Stat line is just ridiculous…I am amazed when he is blamed for the loss…Mo Williams, big Z, AV, Coach Brown…

38 8 and 8…so sick.
