This game right here is the main reason why I don't think Mike Brown is a good coach...

Yes he didn't have LBJ, but Seattle is not a good basketball team and without LBJ I do believe we match up talent wise to them...

First off where was Drew Gooden??? He bring offense to the table from the PF position which we weren't getting from Dwayne Jones or Ira when he was playing there...Why only play him 19 minutes in a game like this...Why??? I will tell you why Mike Brown is an idiot...

Why no Shannon Brown, no Cedric Simmons...We needed a spark we obviously weren't getting it from the guys he was throwing out there...Why not give these guys a chance...O Yeah because Mike Brown is an idiot...

Offense...What is that...Without LBJ we look as bad as the Buckeyes trying to run an offense...That is why you need Drew out there at least he can create a little on the block or hit his open jumpers...Larry did a good job trying to take over LBJ's role, but is that really what you want...

Fast break...Why not have us run the ball especially if we are going to go to a small lineup with Ira at the 4...1 fast break point are you fuckin' kidding me...And we played a small lineup quite a bit...


Eric Snow played most of the second quarter...Why I might ask...He hasn't played all season I understand we are down numbers, but Boobie, DJ, and Larry have been playing the point all year it isn't like we need to try another guy at the pg, we needed someone at the 2g or 3 position...That is why you go with Shannon...

Why no pressure or trapping on defense...It obviously gave Seattle lots of problems down the stretch...We needed to try and create easy buckets for our offensively challenged team...He never thought of that...

Now don't get me wrong I fully understand that we were undermanned tonight, but it is games like these when coaches earn their stripes IMO...Superstar down, lets go to work, actually show that you can out scheme the other team, that you can put your under talented guys in position to succeed...that is what your coach is to do...Not run stiffs like Eric Snow and Ira Newble out there, and if you are going ot run them out there, you do it to steal minutes, not to try and get the team back int he game, you go with energy and some fresh blood...

So let me ask again why did we give this potato head a 2 year extension...:!

Don't even try and make sense of it, CB40. It will just mkae you frustarted that he's making millions while you are watching from a couch.

I gave up trying to make sense of Brown earlier this year when we were scrapping hard against Washington and up 5 or 7 in the second quarter.

Potato Head decides to sub out Boobie, Shannon, Z, Drew, and Sasha within minutes of each other.

He decides we are at a good point in the game to dominate with this solid line-up:

Dwayne Jones - C
Ira Newble - PF
Devon Brown - SF
Damon Jones - SG
Eric Snow - PG

I don't know if you remember that agme, or even watched it. But how long do you think our lead lasted???

I believe we were down 7 points by the time he even transitioned the regulars back into the game. Pathetic coaching.

Guess nobody had any comments on todays game? We won so....we should be happy? Although next game is going to be a challange.

Also weird note, When I got home today I brought up the guide on my tv and seen the cavs game was on. So I was like "GOD WHY DID THEY TAKE THAT DANG CHANNEL FROM ME!", so I just tried to see if it would work...and I had the channel.

LeBron James drives to the basket against the Clippers' Al Thornton and Quinton Ross.



CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers' plan for success this season is pretty basic: When LeBron James plays, good things usually happen.
James scored 28 points last night after missing a game because of a sprained right ankle, leading the Cavaliers to a 98-84 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
James missed Cleveland's 101-95 loss in Seattle on Thursday after suffering the injury the previous night against Portland. James, the NBA's leading scorer, went through a hard workout on the court yesterday, and the Cavaliers announced he would start about 45 minutes before the game.
