you have to admit besides James, the team is a bunch of one-trik ponies at best. Brown atleast turned them into decent role players.

as far as the “holes” in LBJs game is concerned, give him a break, hes just a kid. you think mj had the perfect technique? in his early days he didnt have a mid range game, a fadeaway or a turnaround. What they do have in common is a basketball brain, and thats the most important thing!

Brown has done very well, getting a mediocre team to the conference finals by getting them to play tough defense. I would even go so far as to say they have overachieved this year. I mean, Z is old and probably couldn’t jump over a phone book, Gooden is only an average player, and Varajeo is just an undisciplined hustle guy… yet Mike Brown has turned them into one of the best frontcourts in the league. If he had a decent point guard on the roster, who knows how good they could be right now.

You really want Damon Jones playing more? Be careful what you wish for.

Just keep in mind that 05-06 wasn’t just the season Brown became head coach, it was also the season when Larry Hughes, Damon Jones, Flip Murray and Donyell Marshall joined the Cavs, and the season when Wagner and McInnis got the boot. Oh, and LeBron had a bumper year.

And there’s a good chance the Cavs would be up 3-0 right now if Brown had a better plan than (a) letting his superstar decide the final play and (b) looking for a foul on the final play of a playoff game.

‘Nuff said.

You clearly are clueless about anything having to do with the NBA or basketball.

Let’s see, Mike Brown takes over a terrible team that struggles to get to .500 with Paul “try harder” Silas and in his rookie year takes the Cavs to 50-32(3rd best record in the east, 6th in the nba) beats a tough Wizards team in the first round, comes back from a 0-2 deficit and gets the Cavs within an offensive rebound or two from upsetting the mighty Pistons in the second round.

This year,takes the Cavs to the 2nd seed in the east. Sweeps the Wizards in the first round. Handles a tough Nets team in six and in his SECOND YEAR on the job gets the Cavs to the East Finals and nearly beats the Pistons TWICE on their homecourt(the horrendous refs being responsible for at least one of those loses) and then recovers by beating them last night to stay solidly in the series.

Brown installs a vicious team defense that ranked the Cavs near the top of all defensive catagories in the regular season and puts the Cavs at the TOP of almost all defensive catagories in this year’s playoffs.(Evidenced by holding the east’s beast Pistons to 79,79, and 82 points the first 3 games of the ECF.

Not to mention the complete harmony of the Cavs locker room in a very challenging environment with a team centered around a young superstar.

Do you know any other coaches of 37 years of age (or any age) who has transformed a nothing team to the NBA’s elite in less than 2 years? Who? Flip “choke in the playoff Saunders? Rick “what’s defense” Adlemen”?

I see brilliant man
Why don’t you do some real work before you write such ludicrous garbage?

Its clear you have ulterior motives because no rational and knowledgeable basketball person of any substance could come to the baseless conclusions you have unless they had some hidden agenda.

Silly, silly bitter man.
