1. No fault of James, that's for sure.
Can't play much better than he did. Celts just have too much depth. Thankfully. :)

Cleveland's two problems are simply this: Mike Brown only coaches half of a game. There's no reliable #2 scorer. I'm talking 18-20 pg night IN, night OUT. One man surrounded by journeymen and not much else isn't going to win even one title. Cleveland needs a #2. Plain and simple.

3. Not sure why the snark is called for...
But yes, one man isn't enough at playoff time in the nba.

4. It's called frustration, not snark.
I live 20 minutes away from Cleveland.

When the score was 91-88, Garnett misses a shot, and the Cavs rebounded the ball with about 30+ seconds to go. Why didn't Mike Brown call a timeout to set his offense?

8. It's too bad Cleveland doesn't have a hockey team
Then the Bruins might be able to beat someone in the playoffs. :D

9. It's because Mike Brown is horrible
He's as bad of an offensive coach as D'Antoni is terrible for defense. Any coach who thinks they can score points when they put guys like Varejao and Ben Wallace on the court together has mental problems. Their roster is not that bad at all. Z is an amazing shooter and if they'd try to run set plays maybe they could score 90 points. Also maybe Cleveland would have had a shot if Lebron wasn't so legendarily terrible as he was at the start of the series.
