And so begins another early offseason for the Cavs. With a disapointing game seven loss in Boston over the now Eastern Conference Champion Celtics, despite LeBron's steller 45 point performance, Boston just exploited to the basketball world the problems with the Cavalier system. Personally the "stand and watch LeBron" play time after time seem to never work, what a suprise. I do believe that Clevelands defense is what keeps them in ball games, but despite the blockbuster trade there are still some pieces missing. When you watch other teams play you see a simple basketball fomula, OPTIONS. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, you get the point. Cleveland has one option LeBron James. Give him the ball and make something happen, you got 24 seconds to do it, if you find someone open great if not, at this point its usually late in the shot clock, create a shot of some kind. Don't get me wrong James is my favorite active player its just irritating watching the Cavs play sometimes because they just look terrible.
We all watched LeBron struggle through thoses few games where he played terrible, and thats to be expected of any NBA player, you go through droughts. But at the same time you watched Ray Allen struggle just as bad. The main difference was the other members of the team and how they reacted. Boston; the other players new they had to pick it up and they did, Cleveland just plain did not. Cleveland needs another SOLID SCORER! Try and remember Jordan and Pippen, enough said, we need that FORMULA to be successful. If we want to beat Boston we need a better team, the Celtics are just too deep of a team with too much talent for us to continue to sit and not continue to improve our roster.
