The Cavs need a roster overhaul and more offensive firepower if they want to run. Running right now would do nothing but kill their defense and rebounding.

Andrew Bynasty, sorry but you have huge flaws in your approach to game of basketball if you can't understand why LeBron James needs help. One of the reasons of LeBron's bad shooting against good defensive teams is opponents defense can easily double or triple team LeBron whenever they want because other than LeBron this team has really limited talent. They can easily risk West, Ben, Szcerbiak, Varejao or Pavlovic and help to LeBron defense. This makes LeBron more easy to defend. Kapish? Having a good defensive and rebounding team doesn't mean great help because it's not enough for championship. If you think this team is enough for a championship then I've no words for you. All I can say is what LeBron achieved with this team so far is phenomenal and no one in this world who ever played this game(including Jordan) can win a championship with this team.

Gibson really needs to work on his handles. He would be really hard to guard if he could put the ball on the floor at all. He's really not that far from being an 18/5 player, and that would really help.

I also still wonder if the Cavs could use a guy like Randolph. Just someone who can score the ball when Lebron is out of the game. Boozer would have been a lot better, but Randolph is about the only guy I can think of that would fill this role and can be acquired for nothing.

Look having an upgrade is good but Cavs are pretty good. They certainly had some unlucky time with injuries this season. THe cavs looked pretty good out there in playoffs. Certainly able to score 85+ points a night with very good defense which is what spurs are.


They practically swept the wiz cuz wiz had no chance against cleavland defense.


Boston was very winnable game but LeBron was bricking wide open shots left and right for 3 games straight while turning the ballover too many times. Despite that they won 1 game and the other two were close game. Then 2 of another home game the role player step up and LeBron had an okay performance for his standars. THen final game LeBron explodes but unfortunatly Paul Pierce outplays LeBron.

I mean I don't see what was wrong other than bad luck of LeBron not making wide open jumpers and Paul Pierce exploding to counter LeBron. It seems like Cleavland making it to finals wasn't a fluke at all and clearly Cleavland cast is being taken for granted a little. I mean you guys despite not having other all star next to LeBron is just a little tweak on offense for becoming contenders while other teams cannot get past elite teams because they cannot play a lick of defense for 48 minutes.

If I were a cavs fan I would be optimistics next year if everyone stays healthy and improves including LeBron.

Stop with this bs. LeBron's supporting cast is CRAP.
Delonte West ? Gibson ? Sczcerbiak ?? Are you kidding me ?

The Cavs went to the Finals last year and this year they almos beat the Celtcis, because LeBRon is the best player in the NBA, is that simple.

This guy needs help. He needs a guy who can score 18 with ease.
They need a young low post scorer, Ilgauskas is getting old.

The Cavs are wasting one of the best talents of all-time.
If the Cavs had the right pieces they could fight for the Finals every year

With all the talks of GSW wanting him to opt out, does cleveland have a chance at B. diddy?
