We won't go anywhere until we get a good 3-point shooter. Right now we really don't have one and you just can't win like that.
I saw the Cavs game against the Clippers. Couple of observations. Take Lebron out of the equation and the Cavs have the absolute worst personnel in the league. I don't care if they have beaten creampuff teams so far (they have), their talent level is atrocious, and the fact that they let a borderline franchise player like Boozer just walk does not say much for the basketball acumen of their management. One disturbing trait I noticed about Lebron. On several important possessions, he did not make any attempt to free himself up to receive a pass. He essentially took himself out of the possession by not even looking at whoever had the ball. Kobe, on the other hand, is the opposite. In part due to his "ballhog" nature, he fights hard to free himself for a pass on EVERY possession, blowout or nailbaiter, his intensity is always the same: at maximum!
LeBron is better now than Yao will ever be, there, I said it, but I know we all think it. Don't just look at the scoring, look at the rebounds and blocks. They are nearly identical and it's not because James is great, it's because Yao sucks at things he should be great at. James also has his own Ming with Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
