^^Your right, I agree with you but it's like talking to a wall. Nobody wants to hear that!!!

Jordan had plenty of help in Chicago with guys who could score and defend. Pippen and Rodman were great defenders (so was Jordan) and they could lock down anyone.

Can't put all the blame on Brown and you can't put it all on Lebron. Blame goes to everyone on that team. No one showed up the last 2 games to play, all of the role players couldn't do a thing, Lebron laid an egg in game 5, Brown got outcoached. Whole team played bad and got bad coaching from the entire staff.

Brown should have been gone after last year when there was talk of him being fired.

My boss and I were talking about this and his thoughts were that they should have gone smaller and got Boston into a track meet. He felt the Cavs could utilize their athleticism and tire out the Celtics.

The team wins a record setting 66 games, goes 10 and 4 in the playoffs, Brown wins NBA coach of the year....and then you fire him?

Harsh.

Everybody wants to blame the coach when this shit happens. The real lesson here on this season......trading for Jamison and in particular, signing Shaq destroyed this team.

Not too many in Cleveland were calling for Marty's head after the drive and the fumble seasons.

The drive was after the 86 season. The fumble was after the 87 season. Marty was fired after a playoff loss in 88 in which he didn't have his starting QB.
