The best part about that game was the Rocket Cheerleaders. Man they have some smoking girls.

I was also checking to see if one of the refs was Donaghy out there. Absolutely absurd fouls/no calls agaisnt the Cavs last night. The way they started blowing whistles with under 2 minutes to try to even the foul total up when the game was out of hand was also a classic Donaghy move.

Im not panicking by any means, but we should be playing better by now.....
Well see.... but Mike B. has to figure out a way to make this offense work with Shaq and Bron toghether a little better....

I agree with this, this seems to be a major issue. Lebron has at times turned it on and off and he is capable of that sometimes but it carries over to the rest of the team and routinely they are not competing for an entire game like they can and should. I think this is a direct result of making a conscious decision to get shaq the ball early in the game or to get lebron the ball early in the game and then there is no backup plan and the main plan is not well thought out. If shaq is scoring, lebron sometimes (as does the entire team it seems) will shut it down for long stretches until they have to snap out of it or else bigger problems happen. If lebron starts scoring, well we have seen the 1v5 stuff happen before and it is no different this year. It just seems like their needs to be more variety in the offense, the pick and roll can work but not everytime down the floor, we need other sets other than post shaq, iso lebron and pick and roll, that is just not going to cut it in the long run.
