I believe the blame for this series is on 

Post#221 » by ItsaVC3 » Sun May 31, 2009 1:49 am

Your Coach brown
to me he has no clue what hes doing as a coach i dont care what anyone thinks
reasons
1.i believe Varejao should not be starting in this series it should have been wallace
because he would have done a better job playing D on howard then Z and varejao
2.the pick and roll from the magic when howard gives the pick and roll the defender on him should not pick up the guy with the game he should stay alittle back because when he goes to pick on the guy with the ball..he passes it to howard and howard either 1 dunks it or passes it to the open guy on the wing and thats why the magic is killing from 3
3.The Offense is a joke simple as that no other way to put it

i know most of you are going to say i dont know what im talking about but watch all the games and you will see what im talking about

one more thing i also believe this team is overrated on D and offense
and if bron wants a ring he better think about going to my team the nets or knicks

I am not a Cavs fan, but I do not believe Wallace would have done any better on Howard than AV and Z have. Simply put at this stage of his career Ben Wallace "sucks". Brown has been thoroughly out coached and he is an average coach at best. Orlando just have too many weapons for Cleveland, and as great as Lebron is, he cannot do it alone. Maurice Williams and Delonte West have been outplayed by Mr Rucker Park aka Rafer Alston. Orlando has been the tougher team the entire series. No Cleveland lead has been safe, and they are fortunate they were not swept.

Brown should have had Ben fouling Dwight everytime he got in the paint. No need to conserve fouls in a do or die game.

Straight up from a Wiz fan: It was a bad matchup for the Cavs. Orlando won it much more than Cleveland lost.

I think Brown would have had to upset his loyal guys in order to MAYBE win this series. First off, Ilgauskas and Wallace should have been benched this game early on. Too slow. I believe Smith and Varajeo would have had a better opportunity to get fouls on Howard.

Wally Szczerbiak killed your team again. Most of the time he seems like a liability. Cavs should NOT bring him back. The biggest problems Cleveland had were bench scoring and containing Peitrus off Orlando's bench. Pavlovic over Wally should have been the way Brown went. I think Sasha brings better defense and better slashing than Wally.

Biggest thing that hurt the Cavs today IMO was Lebron James. He was really not a factor on defense. I think he should have guarded Turkoglu, who IMO is the true facilitator. Lebron seemed to really be down for him.

All of that said (more Pavlovic and Joe Smith, less Z and Wally, and Lebron captaining the defense) I really think the Magic are underrated.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Orlando is just a better team....Cavs had no answers for Dwight,Turk,Lewis,etc. NBA is a game of matchups and Cavs just cant match up against Orlando

Totally classless
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

And kobe verbally/physically abuses other teammates when times are tough....

The guy lost, is pissed. Give the man a break please. He'll probably get fined for not doing the interviews but is sending a message to the organization.....Losing is no longer accepted.....

If he bolts cle, no one can blame him....

Why the Cavs didn't trade before the Trade Deadline ??

Having Mo Williams it's not enough to win the playoffs

I knew the Cavs would not go to the Finals, this team is not Complete enough, to compete against a deep team like Orlando
