Larry Hughes sucks

They have a weak point guard, below average 2 guard, average post offense and nice touch from the Russian, Gooden is a garbage man, Varejo is an energy guy but has no real offensive game, Marshall is strictly a spot up 3 point shooter, Gibson may yet be ok but he lacks experience. Thats it.

YOu make good points...the only thing I disagree with is that they are actually a pretty good rebounding team overall. LeBron is trapped pretty much...they have no shooters. Even their supposed good shooters aren't good (Pavlovic, Marshall, Jones, Gibson). They are a poor shooting team from the field and the foul line. I think Brown has done a wonderful coaching job with them, strengthening their defense considerably, which when you have a team that can't shoot is a wise thing to do in my opinion. I do think they have the athletes to run a bit more (James, Pavlovic, Hughes) but again, you can't have everything. People act like it's easy to do things against Detroit on this forum and it really isn't. They have had two legit shots to win games in Detroit which is pretty good. (for game winning or potential game winning shots the shots from Marshall in game 1 and Hughes in game 2 are about as good a shots as you are going to get against Detroit). Detroit is actually a better road team than home team, so it isn't going to get any easier for Cleveland. This series could be 4 games or 7 games. Tough to say.
