Why does Cleveland insist on running Lebron on the pick and roll? San Antonio will trap it or push it further out, they seemed to have success getting the ball to Lebron around the elbow and letting him work, why does it seem they have abandoned that ever since then?

Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***
I'm so sick of hearing how great the West is. Detroit would be a 7 seed, or Cleveland would be an 8 seed. All I saw out of the west were 2 teams that steam rolled through the year, in Phoenix and Dallas, that both did nothing come playoff time.
That makes the West good? The 2 top seeds vanish playoff time?
Yeah, the Spurs are great, I'm not debating that, never did. They have the talent, experience, and leadership to beat anyone. We've never been here, not even close in team history.
All I can say, it's not over.
Maybe you don't watch closely...two teams that steamrolled, both did nothing????
San Antonio steamed home...something like 40 and 10.
Phoenix did nothing? They stretched the Spurs all the way...unlike the Cavs.
Facts are facts...the second best team in this league are the Suns. They'd beat the Cavs 4-0.
The Spurs already beat them.
The Spurs and Pistons are MULTIPLE classes apart. That's what the Cavs are finding out now.
Great job getting here...Comment

LOL cmon Ex, nobody made excuses for the Mavs except Mavs fans and they had ONE excuse... the refs.
People, I included gave DET plenty of props for their run in 04, and you have to admit most of the east was horrid this year, especially down the stretch.
The West is tough conference, that's just the reality.Comment

Problem...Pop evidently knows our offense and defense inside out, and has been able to attack it with ease. It's not even close.
He knows where all of our seams are defensively, and knows where our kickout lanes are offensively. He's allowing the Cavs nothing but the perimeter, and we haven't dissapointed with attrocious shooting...again. 26 point half against the Pistons...25 point half against the Spurs.
We really need to completely re-tool the offense, and get someone in here who can facilitate for LeBron...
Unless we get some very dramatic home cookin' in CLE, we're done.
Pop doesn't know our defensive inside and out. The problem is, we haven't executed defensively tonight. We came out with nothing. We did not play Cavalier basketball in the first half. We've picked it up in the second half. Had the same defense been played in the first half, we're right in the game. We didn't come with it, so they ran away w/ it.
The lack of team defense will not happen again. We will rebound, and show that there isn't THAT big of a talent gap between the two teams. This series isn't over.
We may be one of the most offensively stagnant teams in the league.. but defensively, we're one of the best. We just didn't come out w/ our usual mindset tonight. Spurs noticed, attacked, and I give them props for that.Twitter - WTF_OS

Had things bounced the right way, we could have had Redd and Boozer right now. Can't complain though...we got LeBron, and that's all that matters.
The Cavs/Bron fan in me says that Bron has yet to go Super Saiyan, and that he could very well still Rise Up and take over...but the realist in me is hoping we can get a couple at home, and that LeBron and co. benefit from being this close to a title.
We are getting the Nellie/Avery treatment in a major way. The games aren't really indicative of the actual gap between the teams, but the coaching is making a huge difference.Hank's Custom Collectibles 3D printer/painter extraordinaireComment
