depressing if true...nothing ever seems to be going Clevelands way...
Cavaliers need to make 3 defensive acquisitions. Love isn't that big. Surprised we're getting out rebounded. Thinks the Cavaliers look shorter than the opponent. People jump over us to grab rebounds.
We need a true 7 footer, that probably will not come until this next offseason. Brian thinks the Cavaliers could use Haywood to get Greg Monroe next summer? Weird guy to add.
Reposted for emphasis.
Seem to recall another coach of a Lebron super team not getting much "player buy-in" at this point in the season....

You do realize Mike Brown use to coach the Cavs and Lebron left and went to Miami and was coached by Erik Spoelstra for 4 years and was successful and coachable. He also played on two olympic teams coached by Coack K and was successful so your assumption is pretty off base.Absurd that this has to cross my mind...but I just can't stop thinking about it.
Is this a white-black thing with lebron? I mean seriously... He's very very active in standing up for the interests of African Americans (started with Obama)...which is great.
But I wonder if when he has the choice of listening to a black coach or a white coach...he'll choose the black one.
It's the pettiness I see out of lebron that makes this a reasonable question, the guy is still a child. I don't think he's changed at all since he was last here, we were just victims of the new marketing team he hired after the decision.
We didn't see him on a daily basis and just bought into the hype that his team generated.

Yea, this was the same line used early when he joined the Heat. "He's not buying in, it'll only be a matter of time before Spoelstra is replaced by Riley, etc." It's the go to position for all sports journalism. If the team isn't playing well then the players aren't "buying in." If they start winning then suddenly they are "buying in." How many times have you heard a beat reporter or an analyst interviewed and the question is something like "Why do you think team X is starting to play better?" and the answer is inevitable "Well, I think they are just starting to buy in to the Coach Y's philosophy." It's lazy. No one knows what that really means. It's just easy to use.
What the hell is Damon Jones's actual role with the team anyway?
