The Cavs Board

  • As long a Urkel is coach, we are going to be hampered.

    If we don't win the whole thing, that guy needs to go. In the playoffs you need to step up, not clam up.

  • The support cast seem to lack the sense of urgency. West, Mo and Co can surely do better than that. Someone needs to motivate them. Rondo is a good player - i'll give u that but a good player of his height usefully does well in scoring and assisting not rebounding. So if he gets 18 rebounds then someone sure aint doing something right. When u can shut out Garnet, Pierce and Ray allen and still manage to lose to the Celtics rest assured that you are doing something wrong.

    And the cavs better practice their 3 points to perfection. Only that can open up lanes. And if Celtics are a good shooting team then Magics are a juggernaut. We need to climb this mountain and guide seems clueless.

    I'll give you that Brown needs to go if the Cavs don't win it all, or at least make the Finals. There's better names for him on the Cleveland.com forums that I've been following lately. Just call him Potato Head. Tater, or Roker LOL, there is a resemblance.

    The other guy that needs to go (assuming LeBron stays, and I have a bad feeling he won't if we lose to the Celts) is Mo Williams. Big time defensive liability, and his track record of disappearing in the post season makes him worthless. Finding someone who's a more consistent scorer than Parker at the #2 guard wouldn't hurt either. What killed the Cavs in game four was lousy perimeter shooting.

    Mo really needs to step it up. He's such a great player offensively, and a really excellent perimeter shooter. I have no idea why he just seems to fall by the wayside in the playoffs.

  • I know Brown's team has lead the league in wins 2 straight years, but take away LBJ & this may be a lottery team. How any top flight coach can allow his team to shoot free throws as poorly as they do & go "flat" with a lead (read NO killer instinct) is beyond me.

    Brown knows defense, but he obviously doesn't motivate his team to play hard for FOUR quarters on a consistent basis.

  • Brown is good at licking his lips and adjusting his glasses.

  • Not looking good for Brown....15-0 run for the Celtics...so much for the defense wizardry...pisses me off to be honest....if we had a real coach we would have a title by now and we wouldn't be questioning if James was going to stick with Cleveland.

    At least we have James......maybe he comes on big in the 2nd half.

  • Whats that movie called were they Kidnap the Star basketball player so there team could win? I think it was a Celtics player to. Maybe we can do that with Mike Brown so we can win.

  • Somebody needs to get mad, Brown needs to lay into his team. I wanna see Lebron get fired up and get a technical, get this team fired up

  • It's over tonight.....we need to win on the road

  • Hickson, Varejao, James, West, Parker is the lineup that should be in. They cant run with us

  • There is no god damn heart in this team. Where the F&^k is the team that played all year. Truley bad basketball, not as bad as the Hawks, but bad. If we get swept by the Celtics, bet your ass Lebron is thinking about leaving. I dont want it to happen but it just feels like thats what is going to happen.

  • swept? we have won 2 games.. I totally agree it seems like we have no heart. but that said, what happened to our fans?! The crowd wasn't ever in the game! The celtics didn't pull away until late 3rd quarter. If we win at Boston I like our chances in game 7.. But we need to actually run plays on offense and hold our ground on defense under the basket..

  • No Hickson and West today instead we get Z and Boobie, Mike Browns a genious.

    It hurts less when we dont make the playoffs

  • The crowd was in the game as much as they could be.

    It's hard to cheer when a team plays with zero heart.

    LeBron sets the tone for how this team plays and tonight he refused to attack. He played scared.

    This was painful to watch.

  • I'm not a big basketball fan, but I'm not surprised by this. Typical Cleveland choking when the games really count. Lebron looked like shit. The team played with no heart. I don't blame the fans. They are sick of this bullshit. In the playoffs, best record in the NBA and $2.00 will get you a cup of coffee.

  • Bad coaching is magnified in the playoffs.

    As long as we have Brown and this team, we are going to win in the regular season and struggle in the playoffs because playoffs require good coaching. You can't just street ball your way though games.

    I wonder if the problem is James likes Brown as his coach and doesn't want him canned.

    I have a feeling if we don't pull this out, James is leaving for another team so we might as well dump Brown ASAP so James can use that as an excuse if he wishes.

    It also will help to have a name in place to help us attract other top players.....who am I kidding...if James isn't here, other top players aren't going to want to come to Cleveland...that arena will be like the old Arena days with 2,000 people cheering Luther Rackley.

    I am just fearful that James wants his titles and he comes to the realization it is going to be easier for him to go to a team with the parts in place, only in need of him, then it is for the Cavs to rebuild around James.

    Well, lets look at the bright side. Browns Training Camp starts in a little over 2 months!

    The problem with that is that such teams will not have the big money to pay James. We are one of the few teams with both a cast and money to help James. Instead of us being worried about James leaving us - It is him who should be thinking if all the glitz, glam and money of NY can get him a championship. And will the NY crowd be patient enough ? 3 seasons and they will be in the same situation as us. Unless they can break the bank to get Josh Howard also; I dont see NY winning Le Bron or not.

    Clearly you jest my friend...

    Check his line-up for next year...

    Tony Parker at the (1) wife wants to go to NYC career move....and Spurs will work something with Knicks and a third team to make it happen

    Lebron at the (2)....I'll make this short...LEBRONOMICS $$$$$ (the Glam of NYC) enough said.

    Gallo at the (3).....20 years old 6'10 and shoots crazy sick and has the Knick City Dancers on his speed dial..

    D Lee at the (4) ....1st time All-Star automatic dble, dble every game..

    C Bosh at (5).......Supersar status...center, can defend run the floor for a big and shoot parimeter....

    I'd say that's a good line-up.
