Coach Mike’s non-changing expressions have led to me dubbing him the Brownnequin.

the most willing passer in the league is CWebb… at least that’s what Tim Legler says.

I see that line of thought, but I’ve always thought if you’ve got a problem and the solution is right in front of you, go ahead and implement it. You have to do what’s best for the org as a whole, not what’s best for any one individual, especially when it was clear LeBron wanted Gibson in there, too.

And I don’t get why the offense stops with LeBron in there either. He’s like the most willing passer in the league.

Thank you, rogerl, this irritates me too. What, Eric Snow’s thinking “Oh no, Steve Nash can help-D on Lebron and block his shot if I make a move now?”. Anderson was the only cutter in the Detroit series, and he got several baskets that way.

You know, Cavalier, I think the Daniel Gibson hate on Coach Mike is unfair. Look, it’s like high school ball; you let the seniors keep their jobs until the freshman can really prove they are better than the seniors they replace. If coach just promotes the freshman right away, the seniors (who are all buddies) are going to grumble against the coach. Half a season sounds about right to me.

Why does this happen though? LeBron will pass the ball if you move, right? He is not a ball hog. So why don’t they move when he’s playing? It makes no sense. Are they like, “LeBron’s gotta dribble past this double-team and shoot a 25-footer, I’d better not distract him by running around in his peripheral vision.”
