I agree they are better with LeBron the principal guy but he realizes the Cavs are going to need more options than him. Even if LJ scores 60 somebody has to still score 35-40 somehow. And then there's the whole defensive thing..
They have to have a team concept to be successful ultimately[/quote]
When LeBron has the ball the defense always looks to help his man. That creates open shots which is why Cleveland was able to hit as many 3 pointers during the reg season. Not only that but when he drives he more often than not gets the call which gets the other team in foul trouble. Not to mention that Parker and Jamison are much better playing on the move.
Defensively they are just lost. If i was the coach i would have had Shaq deck Rondo a few times when he drove to make him at least flinch.
