CLEARED OUT

http://blog.cleveland.com/livingston_impact/2009/06/large_mike-brown-danny-ferry.jpg


Cleveland Cavaliers office is cleared out. With both Mike Brown and GM Danny Ferry gone, no replacements have been named so far. Could this all be in a attempt to keep Lebron James on the team, or this is simply for the betterment and the future of the Cleveland Cavaliers team Overall?

LeBron James and Mike Brown didn't always meet eye to eye with each other. While majority owner Dan Gilbert has said that it was simply time for the Cavaliers to head in a new direction, it is quite obvious that Brown was let go because he not only failed to bring a championship to cleveland this year, but also as an attempt to appease James and convince the star player to stay.

Brown or Ferry has been replaced yet. Nor replacements been names for ether man. Even though many have blamed Gilbert and james for brown's firing , it may be a good thing for cleveland to bring in a new coach and a new perspective.

Coach Mike Brown was with the Cleveland cavaliers for five season, and in those five seasons the closest he brought the Cavaliers was the second round of the NBA playoffs. Maybe just maybe that the Cavaliers would have a new coach, they would have a chance to rebuild their program and advance further than they had previously under Brown. Not to say that he is not a good coach, but sometimes you have to try a diffrent look.

No matter who coaches this Cavalier team, they will have a lot to live up to. They don't only have to do as well as brown, not saying that they don't want better,but they will also have to prove themselves to the Cavaliers players and fans. Whoever fills this position will have to bring home a winning season if they hope to have a future Career with the cavaliers.

DOOMS DAY JULY, 1ST

                                         LeBron James

Now everybody is worrying about July,1st. Everyone wants to know what will Lebron do? 
Which team makes the most sense for him? Which city would be most comfortable in? Which wingman would be best fit? Most important who will help him get a ring! ?

Lebron wants to be the first billion-dollar athlete but tiger woods and Michael Jordan both appear to beaten him to that. James should stay where he is, with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He can earn  more money by staying where he is. 

The numbers won't appear now until july, but Cleveland, his home town will be able to offer LeBron a six year deal worth $126 million. The biggest contract any other team can offer such as the Knicks is a five year deal worth $30 million less. This is why he may stay with his home town. 

But, we all know players like Lebron make many more dollars off the court, working with endorsements. In 2009,Forbes magazine ranked Lebron as the sixth richest athlete in the world, with an estimate $40 million in earnings, less then half of that was his salary with the cavaliers. 

Some say that New York is the other most appealing option for Lebron. Thats not a lie, there is the opportunity to play 41 plus times per season in Madison Square Garden. Playing in his home town doesn't seem to hurt him in terms of merchandise sales. 

Mr. James is already awash endorsements. He signed a seven year, $93 million deal with Nike before he even graduated from high school. In addition, he has deals with McDonald's, Coca Cola and state farm.

So do money really matters? not really. Lebron is making millions from other comapanies then the NBA. Its just the matter of players that he could work with. July will he a opening month for most Lebron and Cleveland fans. 

Will He stay? Will he come to New York? Is his choice Correct? We Will see!

ABOUT NEW YORK





The New York Knicks have put that battery in LeBron' back to come to their home town. They want "The best player of all times". The Cleveland Cavaliers have him now but he become a free agent in July. In July he goes where he wishes but New York really wants this guy.

Many people such as Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and other prominent New Yorkers have turned themselves into mendicants, all but getting down on one knee to beg the Ohio-born Mr. James to abandon his home state and grace New York with his talent.

In some case, help is needed in many places and it is understandable and easily proven. The Brooklyn-bound Nets of New Jersey established themselves this season as one of the worst bunches ever assembled. The New York Knicks is on nine straight losing season. They need help with skill, talent and entertainment. 

The Knicks need a savior. This is where Lebron comes in. He is supported to lead New York basketball's equivalent of the promised land. Many New Yorkers really dont even care about basketball.

If Lebron leaves, the cavaliers will lose their everything. Lebron is like their back bone, without him they are barely anything.  But, Lebron may not go anywhere . He has already said that Cleveland "does have an edge" in keeping him. 

Should he stay or should he go? Most likely should stay, if he do, and they work on things that need to be worked on, they will have a better shot in winning the championship in 2011. But knowing Lebron James, he do not like losing, and he really do not losing early in the playoffs. 

Lebron is tired of having the best record in the NBA then losing early in the playoffs, like why have the best record if your gonna flunk in the playoffs? Lebron has a very hard choice to make. His choice better be smart so that he can get him a ring.

HIRING TOM IZZO

http://ukbigbluenation.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/izzo.jpg

The Cavilers want to hire Tom Izzo as their head coach but should they? They offered the head coach job to him on June 6th. He is the head coach of the Michigan State basketball team and one of the most sought-after coaches. He has been hit with many NBA jobs, but he do not want to leave Michigan. The Cleveland Cavaliers did not lose no intrest in him. In addition, they are doing almost anything to keep lebron in his home town and making him sign back with them when July rolls around.

The Cavaliers first offer to Izzo came a day before that, June 5th. That's not a suprise either, as they would want to hear back from Izzo before making any kind of a statement about what their dream coach might be thinking.

If their dream coach take this job, it maybes mean that he was offerd one of those contracts that Cleveland made it impossible to pass up.

He would be taking Mike Brown spot as head coach after they decided to fire him after losing in the second round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. Mike Brown will have to find another coaching job, but it has left the Cavaliers struggling to get a big name that would help keep Lebron in his home town.

For Mr.Izzo it is a hard choice. In this situation he wouldn't want this job as the head coach if Lebron is not coming back. They are in a position to make another title run in the 2011 NBA Playoffs if "The King" stays. If "The King" leaves, this team will continue to struggle in the playoffs. In addition, they will not be enticing for Tom Izzo.

The best choice for Tom Izzo is to turn down this offer now or tell them that he will re-consider the offer in July, when he know how their roster is going to look.

WHERE WILL HE GO?

http://bettorsedge.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/lebron-james3.jpg

With only eyes on whether Lebron or "King james" is leaving his home team and town, it seems like they are going to lose their all without any championships in any sports.


Will he stay? Or will he go?


With many things running threw his mind about him and his team, this is a hard choice. Lebron wants a trophy ! And at this point looking like he would do anything and go anywhere. His Teammate, Delonte West is going out with his mom. One of his star point guards! New York wanting him, Not only wanting, needing him!. As Lebron says, "He would rather be on a big team with other stars and not be the guy'


The Bulls? will never get him. He could never live up to the legend that was Michael Jordan. He is in a very hard situation. Alot of star players would like all the shine and not play with him. As you can see, he may not be the best player, Kobe is his next competition. Kobe would like the ball but gives it up when under pressure and is rings to prove that he is a great player.


Where ever he go he will he make a lot of money! But if he go to New York he will make money he never even heard of before. But Lebron should not look at the money, He needs a Ring.


If Cleveland lose Lebron,that arena will be empty and their "King" may get a ring but not in his city, the city he was drafted out of after high school.

FIRING MIKE BROWN

Preview

After a three consecutive game lost by the Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals, the Cavs fired coach Mike Brown sunday may 23rd.  It ended his run as the franchise's 17th coach after five seasons in which broke numerous team records and was named the NBA's 2008-09 Coach of the year.

The Cavilers majority owner Dan Gilbert, who hand picked Brown and gave him his first head coaching job after an extensive coaching search in 2005, is believed to have been the driving force behind the decision. 

Some Cavilers players, including Lebron James, also seemed to lose patience with Brown after some of hisadjustments and rotations didn't work against the Celtics in the play-offs.

The Team had trouble with the rotation after having to incorporate Shaquille O'Neal back into the team in the play-offs after he missed the final six weeks of the season because of his injury. Instead of his regular dominate starting five, Mike Brown started a five he never started bfore. This messed up the way the team plays.

The day Mike Brown was hired, June 2, 2005, he promised he would make the Cavs a defense-based team. it was a pledge he would back up, using defense to win 100 regular games and four play-offs series in just his first two seasons. 

After some improvement in his first season, Brown's help and recover defensive system started to take hold. In the 2006-07 season, the Cavs allowed just 92 points a game in the regular season and just 86 points in the playoffs as the Cavs reached their first ever finals.

When the Cavs won a team record of 66 games in the 08-09 season, the Cavs allowed just 91 points a game and 43 percent opponent shooting.

But over the last two seasons, Brown's defense has struggled in the clutch. In losing in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2009, the Cavs allowed 103 points per game and 48 percent shooting. In getting ousted by the Celtics in the second round this year, they gave up 100 points and 47 precent shooting a game !

WHERE WILL HE GO?

Preview
Game 6 did not go how every Cleveland fan thought it would go. Don't get me wrong, Lebron played a excellent game but the Boston Celtics played a very excellent game. Lebron ending the game with another triple double and a very good game, 27 points 19 rebounds, 10 assist but turned the ball over 9 times, not so good for the Cleveland. Now the Cavs chance to going to the finals are done. 




With everybody eyes not on the Finals nor the championship, everyone is worrying about where Lebron is going. Is it New York? New York will do everything in their best ability to get him and another superstar. This is now the talk of the NBA. People are not even worrying about will Howard get a ring or will Kobe get another ring.


This is a very hard choice for Mr.James. Will he stay with his home town since high school? or will he leave? If he leave he would not have a better chance of making it to the finals because now he have a very excellent team and they just need to work on some things thats all. 

My opinion is he should stay in Cleveland like look is what he is doing. two time MVP and best pre-season recird two years in a row. Stay Lebron Stay !

YOUR BEST CHANCE IS CLEVELAND!

THE WAKE

Game 5=The wake of The Cavilers. They lose game 5 in home by 32 points. Lebron had a horrible game scoring only 15 points. With Lebron Hitting only 3/18 of his shots, Cleveland can take a turn for the worse. Their biggest scorer was Shaquille O'Neal with 21 points. For the Celtics, Ray Allen had a excellent game. Ending the game with 25, their biggest scorer led them to victory. 

This lost dug the Cavilers grave and damn near buried them. Now, they have to win two games in a row in order to get to the finals, that can be hard with a excellent defensive team like the celtics. I don't know what to say, if they are pressured or scared, they are not playing like the dominate Cavilers that was in the Pre-Season. Their Defensive is slacking, i don't think Lebron got a block this whole series. Jamison did not have a 25 point game this whole series. What's going on?

The cavilers need to change their game play because they run and gun and thats what the celtics want them to do. The celtcs have did a very good job on getting back on defense, not letting them get easy shots and contesting shots. 

Next game they have to turn it up, crank up the defense and play aggressive ! I mean going to the basket strong. The Cavilers have to do a better job finishing their plays. Moreover, they have to pass the ball around. Lets see what happens !

THE START

Preview

The Cleveland Cavilers played the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the series of the 2010 play-offs. The Cavilers won that series with a 4-1 lead almost sweeping them. Lebron hurt his elbow in the 5Th game against the Bulls. 

Now in the Eastern Semi-Finals The Cavilers against the Boston Celtics. The first game was not a easy win for the Cavilers because of Lebron's elbow injury, with the score of 103-91 and Lebron with 35 points. In game 2 Lebron elbow was really bothering his game and they suffered a lost by 18 with the score 104-86 and Lebron finished with only 24 points. But here's when things turn right back around. Game 3, first quarter Lebrons scores 21 points ! And the Cavilers get the win by 29 points with the score 124-95 and Lebron finish the game with 38 points. But then things get a lil different now. In game 4, the Cavilers played horrible defense and did a horrible job rebounding. They let the Boston Celtics out play them by 10 points 97-87 and let Rondo end up with a play-off high of 29 points 18 rebounds and 13 assist. Lebron only finishes with 22 points. Horrible game by the Cavilers and for all, by Lebron.

This series can take a turn for a worst for the Cavilers if they don't do something quick !
This series look like it can go to game 7.
Game 5 is at Cleveland, Game 6 is at Boston and final game 7 is at Cleveland.
If Cleveland don't win their next home game it may be over for this series. 
Boston plays very well at home and so does the Cavilers but hey ! things happen. 
They just have to play smart like they did in the 1ST round of the play-offs.

ALL ABOUT THE CAVALIERS



Forget about the just the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavilers is the best team in the NBA and is dominating any team that comes their way. It was no doubt about it that they had the best season record and is now going to dominate the play-offs. 

With the best player in the NBA overall in scoring, rebounding and assist, Lebron James and his team cannot be stopped like a train with no emergency brake ! Him and his All-Star team will make their way down the play-offs to a easy championship. With one of the best three point shooters in the NBA, Mo Williams, its not often for them to lose.

The Cleveland Cavilers have many ways of scoring. The post with Sahquille O'Neal, the three with Jamario Moon, a mid range jump shot with either JJ Hickson or Antawn Jamison. Lets not forget their X- Factor Zydrunas Ilgauskas standing at 7'3 very big center. In addition their "Hustle Men" Anderson Varajeo and Delonte West.

This is a excellent team and can get a basket almost at will. They do not have to force anything i mean anything ! they can work the ball around t their teammates and create an easy shot because of all these superstars they have.


Lets not forget about their defense. Lebron James catch most of the highlight blocks. He is a forward getting more blocks then some centers. Most of the time when he blocks the ball he pins it to the backboard. The two guards West and Williams have excellent on ball defense. Like all coaches say, "Good Defense Makes Easy Offense" meaning that if you play defense well you can get many fast break points and the Cavilers is very good at that. 

The Cleveland Cavilers Game is a run and gun all game. this is a good game plan. It helps create runs on their opponent and many fast break points. This team has a shot at the championship this year. Play as a team and its in their hands !
