Somewhere Pat Riley has his fingers crossed. This is his forte. Taking over a loaded team with a bumbling head coach that can't get them to the next level.

Yeah... Except Pat Riley is the Team President of the Miami Heat and could probably take over the coaching job there again next season.

He's not leaving for anybody.

I will be arrested for something I shouldn't have done.

This is what would happen exactly IMO.

mike brown is gone

lebron is gone

shaq is done

big z is done

eric snow gets signed for 10 million a year

Wow. Yea, that would be a dark, dark day in Cleveland.

Mike Brown's idiocy has been on display numerous times already this postseason. Thankfully, Doc Rivers is on the other sideline.

It won't happen, but the Celtics are playing a lot better. The Celts simply have nobody to guard LeBron. The only way Cleveland loses is if Lebron gets Boguted or they get no productivity out out of anybody not named LeBron.

If they lose, it means Mike Brown did not put the correct person on Rando and let him run all over Mo Williams.

Also, the Cavs are totally losing to the Magic (should they meet)

If the Cavs manage to get by the Celtics, they have no chance against the Magic. Of course, no one out west has a chance against them either.

y...a...w...n

Magic are tuff. I agreeeee

The Magic are better this year than they were a year ago in my opinion. Nelson is putting together 30 point games (Missed last year playoffs, except the finals), Vince still show flashes, Lewis still good for knocking down the 3's, and Dwight continuing to hold it down in the paint on defense.

Dwight has been holding down the bench a lot with foul trouble.
I see it getting worse against Shaq.

It will be the inability to guard the 3 that will hurt the Cavs.

The Finals aren't even here and Cavs fans are already talking about what if the Cavs lose and are seemingly already to blame the coach. I thought that this was a slam dunk this year. Why this large amount of doubt all of a sudden? I was accused of being a fair weather fan because i said the Wings have trouble with West Coast teams and I wasn't going to watch them anymore this season. I didn't say that I was not still a Wings fan, but honest to God folks, the Wings do so much better when I don't watch. I never turned the Wings 7th game on the other night. I plan on not watching them any in their San Jose series either. I feel like I'm doing them a lot more good rooting from afar and not messing it up by turning them on. Do I think that the Wings can win that series? Of course I do, but not with me watching. I don't know why it's that way, but it really is. It's almost creepy. Do I think that the Cavs can win? Sure I do, and they don't seem to be effected by me watching. I'll be watching the Cavs, I just can't watch my favorite team very often because they lose a ridiculous amount of the time when I watch.

Please take Cleveland out of your username, then politely move out of the city as well.

Thank you.

Really stupid question but with the Cavs being the #1 seed and Milwaukee leading the Bucks/Hawks series 3-2, if the Bucks win shouldn't we be playing THEM (being that they are the LOWEST seed) instead of Boston? I mean part of being the #1 seed is having the advantage of playing the lowest seed, correct? Why give Orlando the glide path to the Finals?

Are you serious, Clark?

Yeah, I was. Someone explained it to me at work. Wasn't familiar with how seeding worked in the NBA. I thought it was similar to the NFL's seeding process.

There is no reseeding in the NBA. Every team stays in its bracket.

That was a joke. I should have probably been a little more clear. Although, wonder what Riley does if he loses D-wade and can't replace him with anybody worth a crap?

He should be fired if they lose before the Finals.

YES! Brown should be fired!!!

Lebron is the real GM of the team. If he say he wants Brown to stay as his coach, then they won't fire him. He probably also have the power to say I will only stay if Brown is fired and that is when Mike will receive his pink slip.

The replacement should Mike Brown get the axe?

Well, in the NFL and the NHL they re-seed the teams. Baseball you cant with only 4 teams. But of the playoffs who you CAN re seed, the NBA is the only retarded one where they dont.
