They have a couple guys in the front office who are interested in advanced stats, but the team has been unwilling to actually pay for said stats. They get an "advanced" stat report from a consultant (who also supplies reports to 10 or so other teams) periodically. I saw a couple of those reports when I was doing a small project for the team, and they were unimpressive to my eye. I think there's better work being done by a number of people at the APBRmetrics board. Not even counting the APBRmetrics guys who have been siphoned off by teams.
Eh. Too bad. Wishful thinking I guess. I suppose it was just Erinie's appreciation for Haywood (on a cheap extension) and desire for better defense despite failing to replace the better defenders when they left. Then the public snubbing when Tom Tippytoe left the scene. And the power struggle inherent when an owner handpicks the coach. I like both Ernie and Eddie, I'd have preferred it worked out for all involved. Along with improved defense, and depth, and wins and all.
Shame on the stats deal though. I suppose it was Pat Riley and JVG driving that bus in NY.

The Wiz win sapped the Cavs of their will to win. They just crash and burn from here on.

I see that didn't last too long

That was a joke, not a prediction. Maybe I need to put in [/jk] or something.
For the record, I expect the Cavs to win Wednesday (hopefully the Wizards give them a game). I expect the Cavs to get to the finals, though Orlando might give them some trouble (more so than Boston). I think they have more of a shot at the Lakers than they did at the Spurs a few years back, and probably take it to at least 6 games.
Also, after reading some of the reactions to the question "would you trade Butler for James" on here, I don't have anywhere near the dislike for Lebron (or even the Cavs) that most of the Wizboard has, though I enjoy and encourage poking fun at him. I'd be neutral for Cavs-Lakers.

Neutral for a contest between an unconvicted rapist and an overgrown lip-checking man-baby. Not saying I'd be rooting for injury, but if they could somehow both lose it wouldn't bother me a smidgen.
