The Cavs are saying to LeBron, oh PLEASE stay, we'll even let you pick your own coach!

But, I doubt that changes his mind one way or another. If he's leaving that's not going to make him decide to stay. If he's staying it had nothing to do with him staying in the first place.

Non-Issue.

He is not the guy to get them over the hump, but they ain't going over the hump.

Lebron is not without fault here regards of "Fault".

Maybe injury, maybe his new "delonte Daddy", and maybe the team is not constructed properly.

Somtimes a sleeping giant like the celtics wake up and make a run, and somtimes a team like the Magic come together.

Sometimes its not someones "fault" but your opponent is just playing better.

Fire teh coach and give the season ticket holders hope. THats how you sell tickets!

I know LeBron is great but you can't get away with just running iso with him at the top of the key each time up the floor. Good teams (like the Celtics) will not let you win with that nonsense.

That works in the regular season

He got fired because he cant coach. His assistants do the coaching.

mike b got fired cuz he isnt a good coach. dude got a job that had an elite player already and in a bad conf. i would expect most coaches to not mess that up until it counts (playoffs).

He had no control of that team, not a good X O guy

Not really that entire team has a bunch of iso players that can create there on shots at will..

That team is as undiscipline as they get. Iso's only makes each player play for themselves. The is no I in team.

Give A GOOD X and O guy with the Hawks and you see and team on the rise. Iso helps teams play defense better against you in the playoffs. Reg season you can get away with it.

I've watched Woodson lose control of that team on many occassions, They need a tuff guy like scott skiles or avery johnspon.

The guy coached a good roster, to the best record in the league. Something has to be said for that. He's not a great coach by any means, but he is no cardboard cut out either.
