FIRING MIKE BROWN

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?

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

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 !
