Been watching this Cavalier offense try to function ever since drafting Lebron James. It has been a growing and developing process but it is ill conceived to ever win a Championship.

Lebron with his size, power, speed and his ability to finish at the rack should never be placed in a "Point Forward" position running the offense from the top of the circle. Delonte West and Daniel Gibson should be running the offense with Lebron down on the block where he is closer to the hoop and can hit either hit cutters if he is trapped or finish when left one on one. Realize you can't change this season, but the Cleveland coaching staff needs to really consider a change starting next year. The team defense is fine, but the offense will struggle until Lebron is put down low where he can really cause significant damage IMHO.

Lebron isn't exactly a back to the basket player. He's the best passer on the team and creates for himself and others off the bounce like few others players.

Besides Cleveland has no real ball handler anyways, who's supposed to handle the ball?

Mike Dantoni should have expressed interest in the Cleveland job instead of the Bricks.

if we would ever lose, then we could blame a fix/everyone was betting us/or we were a public play.

Shenanigans.
