FTFY
Basically, Cleveland was about as successful as this current Miami team. But Cleveland did it without Bosh and Wade. If Brown was so horrible, then how do you account for that?
Lebron. It's pretty simple. Basketball is a type of game in which the best player on a team can determine the outcome because the ball can always be placed in his hands. And when that one player is the best on the planet, he can carry a team pretty far.
I don't necessarily agree with that. Kobe's Lakers were really good with Shaq, not so good when Shaq left, and really good again when they got him some help (Gasol).
OK, you're right. Cleveland got as far as they did because of Mike Brown's coaching. Having Lebron was just a bonus. I forgot they had Anderson Varejao too.
I'm not saying that. I'm not even saying that Brown is terrific. I'm just wondering how we know he's as bad as people say he is. What's the beef with him.

granted, i do not follow basketball at all...but if the beef with brown is that lebron carried him instead of the coaching...then why wouldn't it work in LA? he'll have kobe and gasol right?

"Score the basketball"

Why do NBA analysts insist on this term?

Do you score the puck in hockey?

I think it means the team that gets the calls will win, Chris Bosh is a transvestite, and Mark Cuban plans to send immigrants in Miami to Cuba.

All sports have those little sayings ...

btw - I'm pretty sure I could be an NBA coach based on the mic in the huddles at timeouts.

"We need energy. We need to block out. We need to get some offensive rebounds. Defense guys. Defense. Look for the open man in transition. Keep fighting"

Or, more simply put:

"Score more points than them guys".
