Luckily coach of the year Mike Brown! Lebron James is only Cleveland Cavaliers one-man team. No team-work on defense. Very luckily his team record. Ben Wallace always on the bench (He should guarding Dwight Howard). No defense strategy against defense. Poor man & strategy rotation! A boastful Mike Brown acted and feel like he is genius in basketball!

That's why Stan Van Gundy was my coach of the year.

Mike Brown is the Cavaliers coach...whom he should fire? Himself? some kind of suicide???
 
A thread posted on impulse after one's seemingly unpleasant patronage towards an NBA team who lost to the better NBA team.:D

Its up to GM Danny Ferry and the Board to decide on Mike Brown's fate. But in retrospect, firing a coach (looking for a better one) is very difficult and finding the replacement could spell more trouble for the Cavaliers considering Mike Brown's contribution and to the established system already in place.

A change of personnel is needed around LeBron James. There is talk of Yao going to Ohio and acquiring the services of John Salmons and Chris Andersen floating about.
 
It's not just about the coach, it's about the players. Do you seriously expect LeBron alone to carry the Cavs to an NBA title? He's a good player, but he's not Superman and he's human. As someone said, great players win games, but great teams win titles, that's the point. The Cavs are not actually a team, at least one able to become champion. They need at least another shooter who can make the difference like LeBron and add to the genius of the latter. On another note, LeBron himself might already be used to being the lone star in the team and that's no good at all. As I said previously not even Jordan won championships by himself, he had an excellent supporting cast.
 
The Magic are just a better team than Cleveland. LeBron can only guard one man at a time and Delonte West and Mo Williams are too small to match up with Rashard Lewis and Turkoglu. Then the Magic can bring in Pietrus and play with three wings that have height and length and they can all stroke it. Ben Wallace can't stop Dwight Howard and neither could Big Z or Varejo. The Magic are a tough match-up for a lot of teams since they have so many shooters.

In the regular season the Cavs had Mo Williams creating his own shot and playing well but in the playoffs their offense kind of devolved into everyone standing around while LeBron tried to create. But in the playoffs it's about match-ups and the Magic are just a better team

hilarious!!!! :D:D I love the headline... Mike Brown firing himself.... hehehehe!!!... you'd never fail to make me laugh joel!!!!!

I agree with rikhardur... Lebron does need a supporting cast and a player of the same level as him.... Jordan won those championships because he had a good supporting cast of role players and a player of almost the same level beside him, Scottie Pippen.... even if the Cavs made it to the finals... Lakers are going to beat them... not because of Kobe but because of a term 'team basketball' .... people should have learn from the 2007 NBA finals... Lebon vs. the Big Three of San Antonio... you know who won at the end...
 
what bloody jibberish is this. you make no sense whatsoever.

luckily...
 
In a Chris Broussard article: "Jerry West, one of the greatest team builders in league history, said the Cavs would be a lottery team without James."

It's obvious. But in my opinion, at least three names (D. West, Mo Williams and A. Varejao) can be the good pieces of a title-winning team.
 
what the...??? the title of this thread is misleading. why would mike brown fire himself? orlando is a better shooting team than the cavs. how can you beat a team with pair of 6'10's shooting the 3's, slashing the lanes for teardrops and dishing assists to outside shooters who are standing 6'5" or 6'6"? mike brown could have changed his strategy by not focusing more on lebron. instead, he could have utilized sasha pavlovic, wally szcherbiak, danny gibson among others. one significant missing player was mo williams.
 
One of the aspects is also LeBron's attitude, he can't expect to always be the go-to guy, as that influences his team. If he changes his atitude to a more centrifugal thing, the team would only benefit, as they would more often step up and become mentally stronger competitors. The black hole thing never worked.
I just read LeBron never congratulates or shakes hands of the players he lost to, that's no good at all :rolleyes:
 
Why Lebron James Acted The Way He Did

Everybody's talking about Lebron James and his quick exit in Game 6 on Saturday night. After losing the game, James bolted for the locker room never shaking a hand, skipped the post-game news conference and headed home. After catching up to him more than a day later, all Lebron could muster up for his show of disrespect was:

"I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. You know me, I’m a competitor. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them, it doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand."

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo!Sports wrote an article about it today. The sentiment around the blogosphere is mostly about the same, that Lebron is a sore loser and nobody around him wants to tell him that because they coddle him. Yes, he acted selfish and immature and nobody around him wants to chew him out, but why is that?

What I see missing in all the chatter is some of the psychological reasons why Lebron acted the way he did. Certainly, some of it can be blamed on celebrity culture, or too much money too young. But what nobody is talking about is Lebron's upbringing, and specifically the lack of a strong male-figure growing up. Sure, he lived with some coaches in between years when his mother was unable to take care of him, but nothing can substitute for the real father figure that Lebron never had.

In Wojnarowski's article, he states that Kobe never acted that way when he lost (Kobe grew up privileged with a father who was a professional basketball player and coached him in high school). Jordan always shook hands graciously when losing to the Pistons (Jordan was known to be really close to his father). Wojnarowski lists Isiah Thomas as an example of a supposed classy guy who walked out without shaking hands when the Pistons lost to the Bulls (Thomas's father left his family of 8 kids when he was just 3 years old).

Am I saying that if one grows up fatherless they will always act immature, and if one grows up with 2 parents they will always act normally? No, there are examples of guys who grew up without fathers or had abusive fathers and still act appropriately like Julius Erving or Larry Bird, and vice versa (ie. Barry Bonds). Nor am I saying that it's a race issue, because white players who grew up without fathers like Chris Andersen of the Nuggets, or Roger Clemens in the majors, or Jeremy Shockey in the NFL have all also exhibited similar attitude problems.

With this being June and Father's Day right around the corner, Lebron's behavior serves to underscore the point that fathers make a difference. Lebron never learned how to be gracious in defeat because those kinds of hard life lessons are usually learned from your father which Lebron never really had. The values we hold as individuals are in large part given to us by our parents, and when one or two of your parents are absent, where will those values come from?? Nobody around Lebron is going to tell him he acted like baby and he should apologize because that is something a father would tell him, not his teammates, not the owner. Coaches, teachers, and mentors can help, but nothing can substitute for the real thing.

Kobe did it in 2006 playoffs.

Larry Bird did it to Pistons
 
Given the chance of this Lebron handshake controversy i'd like to mention that i like the way hands are shaken in NBA.They do it only after a play off series is OVER.Not in a friendly game,not in a regular season game not in a non deisive play of game.

Here in Europe players shake hands before the match stards,they shake hands before the tip off,they shake hands hug and kiss after the match no matter how important it is.It's only a matter of time before they start shaggin each other on the floor.Well done NBA players 4 keepin it real.

Arab men kiss twice (or thrice) in the face :rolleyes: You're confusing sexual behaviours with friendliness. Between that and not greeting anyone, I choose the former.
