good grief. his team sucked! i've been saying this since november. the shaq trade was a horrible idea and the jamison one just proved itself to be a worse one. horrible horrible front office work by cleveland.

They didn't lose cuz they don't play D. This was about horrible offense. In that sense we can definitely help him. This is what MDA is gonna point out. Yeah Defense wins, but you've gotta be able to score too. MDA's offense is capable of being super efficient with high Assists. That's what Lebron needs. I believe we'll be able to defend but also be a great offensive team that will maximize what Lebron can do. On his team they really don't have any motion or ball movement and it made it easy to clog the lane and slow Lebron down. Once you shut down penetration the Cavs had no answer.

This is also where having Bosh can come in handy, cuz the Cavs had no real post game. Shaq is done and Verajao is lost on offense. That means you really only have Mo and Lebron to worry about. Any great defensive team is gonna be able to shut that down. We won't have that problem if he comes here. As much as people bash MDA for his offensive leaning, he will at least be able to help Lebron to get off in the playoffs with a much better offensive attack.

Why Nixluva
are you always & foremost talk chatting about offense 90% of time and
disregard Defense ? in the league.

Especially when it comes to MDA and NY Knickerbocker present state of affairs

Bron just had a triple double in an elimination game and has zero teammates on the level of Starks and Oakley or even Mason.

Good grief.

By that statement I must conclude that you did not watch the game. If so you would know stats lie and never had said that.

That was the most irrelevant triple double in history.

He wants to play with a bunch of 2nd fiddles. Guys with the Gasol, Bynum, Odom type personalities that dont really care to be the man on the team. James doesnt want to play with guys who he is have to "share" with. This is why I dont see James, Bosh, or Wade teaming up. I see James wanting to play with Boozer and David Lee types surrounding him.

Shaq and Kobe didnt get along. The Shaq and Wade duo didnt last long either. Look at a team like Orlando. You have bunch of guys who dont care to be "the man". It is understood that Howard is the man on that team.
