If howard is hitting foul shots, they become a matchup nightmare. Thinkk about this-In regulation when rashard hit that three, they were trying to cover him with 95 year old ben wallace. What else could they do?

I agree that offense isnt a problem for cleveland, i was just making a point that i had never seen a team that successful designed that way. No one plays post. Can anyone else come up with a championship contender without a player that plays back to basket? Illgauskus really doesnt play in the post anymore, he pretty much just spots up.

Yeah, I'm guessing I'm not the only one that as soon as I heard Ben Wallace had come in to cover Lewis thought that it was a guarantee Lewis was going to hit a 3. They didn't need another slow guy covering perimeter players, that was a bonehead decision. Where they need Wallace is to at least attempt to matchup with Howard so that teams can't pick and roll them to death when Varejao isn't on the court.
