Only problem is, Varejao couldn't finish at the rim last night, I think he was 2-7. That includes a key miss that would have cut the celtic's lead to 2 in the 4th quarter. Jamison had a hard time fitting in with Shaq, the pieces to this team just didn't mesh well.

I'll say it again, its very difficult to win consistently in the playoffs when you're team is supposed to have a defensive identity and 3 of your starting 5 are average defenders. Throw in bad performances the whole series by Jamison, Mo, Delonte, and Varejao and you have this result.

You're being way too hard on Varejao, IMO. He's about the only Cav that showed up each game and showed some fight. Athletically, he was incredibly overmatched by most of the guys he was guarding in the series, but he looked like an absolute shut-down beast compared to Jamison.

I disagree. Jamison has looked lost and awkward regardless of whether Shaq was on the court.

Perhaps he'll do better after having a full season with the team next year. They just need to keep the defensive liability players to a max of 2 on the court at a time.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Elbow

It would be completely fitting for Cleveland to lose LeBron James.

Lots of sports fans believe there's a special misery attached to their local teams. Next time you have that bar-room argument, set the bar at Cleveland. I dare you to go lower. Our legacy of futility is not only deep?decades without a major sports title?but also wide, encompassing all three of the city's professional teams. We get only rare chances to see one of our teams even try to win the big one, and then they always let us down in heartbreaking fashion. Which is why it would make perfect sense if Thursday night's miserable Game 6 loss to the Boston Celtics marks the last time LeBron James plays in a Cavaliers uniform.

ESPN's Ric Bucher is "disputing" the report that Mike Brown has been fired, but that seems to be just semantics on the timing of the about-to-happen firing.

Or just an ESPN guy not accepting the fact that somebody else broke the story.

edit - Dan Gilbert (on TV) says there's been no coaching change, they're currently going through an evaluation process.
