Mike Brown Fired

Ref & Champ; agree there, but at the standpoint that Lebron shouldn't be running the team. If your Marquee player tries to run everything, you tell him to back down or leave the court and take up a coaching position.

Mike Brown was fired because they couldn't fire anyone else; they're not going to bag half the team because they didn't perform, certainly not Lebron because they need to save face; he was the only viable option.

Bo - you forgot JaMichael D'Brown.

I'm ambivalent about the sacking - I think the lack of a real Robin for LeBron's Batman was a far bigger issue this year. Still, I guess they gave Brown a decent shot at it. Desperation time now.

Had to be done really. Brown has had a fair crack and he hasn't been able to get his players to perform under pressure in the playoffs. The Cleveland team I saw against the Celtics had regressed since 2008, when they went damn close to stopping the eventual champs in the 2nd round. That team at least was tough defensively and fought hard to the end. Two years on, Cavs players still can't shoot under pressure and they are playing worse team defence.

Its not just the coach though. They have key players like Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison that will win them plenty of regular season games, but just aren't good enough when the competition heats up from the 2nd round of the playoffs onward. At a minimum, the Cavs have to find a way to offload Mo Williams and find a guy who can defend Rondo well (with help), shoot the three and handle the ball. They need to get rid of Jamison too, but I can't see who will take his contract.

I think if the team management don;t take drastic action to improve the team this off-season, and quickly, LeBron will bolt. They have to do everything in their power, and be seen to leave no stone unturned, to retain the big fella...

someone please tell me that the web site www.letsgopioneers.com is not the official site for the team that is performing at about the same level as the website that contains about as much volume as Boykins after his daily Dump!

Lets go pioneers! What a joke!

This must be the third straight year where the Coach of the Year from the previous season has been fired in the next season.
Avery Johnson and the Mavs springs to mind as does Byron Scott and the Hornets.
