which part? As bad as Mike Brown's coaching was this past playoffs, it was worse during the Magic series and the stand around watch Lebron work offense.
You mean, do what got you the best record in the East? It is not Mike Browns fault the supporting cast sucked. Granted, he is a horrible coach but he wasnt the reason they didn't make the finals the last 2 years.
Theres a big difference between beating up on the bottom half of the East and beating the contenders.
And during the regular season, it wasnt give the ball to Lebron and stand around. They always reverted to that come playoff time. Hickson was a big part of the regular season, and barely saw the court in the playoffs. Moon was hot at the end of the regular season and in the first round, and barely saw the court in round 2. The Cavs played their best ball without Shaq or Z--with Hickson filling in, and he never tried that mix against the Celts this year.
The problem is during the playoffs, Brown changed his strategy, and the players had no clue what the strategy was--or if theyd play that night or not.
