i look at cleveland's record, and i just scratch my head.
how do they have the best record in the nba? sure lebron has just been lights out every night this year, but then you look at the rest of their team, and go whaaattttt?
they do play some solid defense, but they are just offensively challenged. sure mo williams is averaging 16.9 ppg, but that is coming from open looks he's getting from teams double and triple teaming bron. after williams, you have 4 different guys shooting a bit more than 6 fgs/game (shaq, varejao, ilgauskas, delonte west) and 2 other guys other than bron and williams average more than 27 minutes a game (parker, varejao).
no one drives to the paint other than james. they are strictly a jump shooting team, and without james, they are a very bad team. they are 3rd in PA, 1st in OPP FG%, 12th in OPP 3P FG%, and 26th in OPP TO. the way things are, the bottom half teams like charlotte and miami can take them out easily in the 1st round unless the cavs can find another guy to break down the D.
