Seriously, what the hell guys SHOULD be in at crunch time besides LBJ? Love. JR probably. And...??? Korver I guess? Defensive liability.

Yeah, at this point you look up and down the roster and you just have to accept this team ain't good.

No ball-handlers, no rim-protectors or size, and historically streaky/journeymen players. They're so limited in what they can do.

Honestly it depends on the matchup and whether we need offense or defense. In general, though, I would just surround LeBron with four shooters (making sure one is a rebounder). Right now it looks like the best options are JR, Korver, Love (or Nance if Love is hurt), and I guess Hill(??). Every possession needs to start with LeBron at the top of the key and the four shooters spread around the floor. LeBron can drive, drive and kick, or call for a screen.

That strategy should cut through most of the East without resistance. It would certainly work against Indiana and Toronto.

My concern is health... LeBron's back.. plus he's getting beat to death with no help from refs; Korver's foot; now Love's hand.. which does not look good; Hood's back; Green's brain..

and would someone remind Clarkson and JR.. that ever since you first touch a basketball and can shoot.. follow your shot
