I needed to run to the store this morning, so I hopped in my car and was listening to a little early morning sports talk. Naturally, "The Bostonian" called in and stated this wild theory...

"The Cavs are a completely different team without Lebron James". hahaha.....god, I love that guy.

Any word if Sebastian Telfair is going to get booted off this team? He's never going to play.

But if i had my choice of people to shoot a 3 Gibson just isnt the name that pops into my head, guess thats why i found it absurd for him to be mentioned. I stand corrected

West is one of our only guards that can continually attack the basket and back down defenders. He has played great lately and is a tough defender despite his size. He also won't get minutes taken away.

Williams has been playing like fucking shit but he has hit clutch shots. Both guys aren't very good at defense but in the end Williams is a better ball handler than Gibson which is the reason why he plays so much. He could get some minutes reduced (around 5-6 from 35 to 30 or so).

The other player to get reduced minutes is Moon but he is very athletic and will be called upon imo in the playoffs to match up on scorers defensively.

In the end the other guys offer more overall than just great shooting. Gibson will have a couple games in the postseason where he just goes off, thats his MO. But he is focusing on his family right now that has gone through a lot recently with the birth.

Really? So when Brown trusted him to guard Billups last week late in the 4th quarter over Moon, Boobie wasn't a defensive liability...right?

There isn't a huge drop off from 48% to 45% considering what Parker gives to Cleveland defense wise. Gibson may have a better % but overall per games played Parker makes more 3 balls per contest.

The only player Gibson should be taking minutes from right now is Mo, but that is simply because Mo is still in his slump after the shoulder injury. Mo is our starting PG and when he plays well Cleveland is almost unbeatable. Gibson is no better or no worse than Williams defensively. Their both undersized PG's that are not great defensively, but Williams has better handling and court vision. If Williams doesn't recover, then yes Gibson should take some minutes from him but not Parker, Jamison, or West.

You really are going to take away minutes from a PF averaging last 5 games:
21 ppg
9.4 rpg
2.2 apg

43% 3P
52% FG

Sorry but your immense hatred for Jamison needs to stop. The only thing wrong is his FT shooting right now, the guy has been great. Put Amar'es name next to those numbers and you would be in the corner beating off to them.
