Since most of this has probably already been mentioned, I'll make my take brief:
What worked:
Lebron scaling back his game and shifting his mentality from "scorer" to "playmaker". If he realizes everynight that a playmaker can also score, he'll begin to scratch his offensive/floor game potential.
Coach Brown making a simple adjustment to pack the paint and thwart Carmello Anthony's inside game. Brown diagnosed the Nuggets weakness (inside scoring...no Camby) and took that part of the game away. Nice move on his part.
Donyell Marshall playing like a power forward (12 boards and a block) with the ability to step out and hit the 3 (2-4).
D. Jones' money ball. Don't get to excited though, he's still the same guy. Strange that Karl didn't attempt to exploit DJ's defense. Mistake.
What didn't work:
Damon Jones NOT looking like a preening schmo with all of his posing and histronics.
Eric Snow attempting at least 8 shots. The Cavs won the game, but the opposition was able to harrass other players due to Snow's apparent indifference on the offensive end.
Larry's jumper. Either Hughes or James needs to be this team's primary point guard/playmaker.
A win against Miami and this team will get the confidence needed to put themselves back into higher reaches of the conference.
