Is not entirely true. I did not follow the cavs playing in the regular season, and basically I only saw the Cavs-Magic series. A few things I could remark, in a totally unbiased observer kind of way:
1) It was all about Lebron.
2) They played Pass it to Will.
3) Lebron chokes, the whole team chokes. If they triple teamed the man, two guys should be free but they now want to try jumpers instead of driving the fuck to the rim.
4) The magic got free looks all the time, and they punished Mike Brown for that.
5) Coach of the year? Please.
Ben Wallace was like a huge vortex of money. Varejao was dissapeared. Ilgauskas did not look to me like a guy who should be getting 11 Mil this year.
IMO they got that far on Lebron's back, but when Lebron got the attention and got pwned, he did not have any supporting cast. 2 more starting reliable big men and they have a dynasty, not worrying about a puny series. Shaq only has at most 3 years in the tank left, so if cleveland wants to actually win a championship in pro sports for once (before he's gone and we'd be back at step 1), get Carlos fucking Boozer or Chris Bosh, and jettison all the dead weight you can.
