Yes and Chicago had a coaching change and in the second year of Jackson's tenure they cut down the nets.

Cleveland won't win a title with Rerun. They need a coach with playoff experience. This guy is winning a series or two not due to his coaching ability, but a weak conference and the services of a top 10 player in the league.

You really shouldn't count the Cardinals as World Series champs becuase the Tiger pitchers couldn't throw to any base with accuracy. the Padres had Mike Piazza and Josh Bard catching, and Russ Branyan at 3rd, that alone should not count as a post season win for the Cardinals last year should it??

The Cardinals did not win their first round series last year and only had 8 postseason wins...is that how we play this game???

YOu guys need to get way better.

Actually they had more than one coaching change after JOrdan joined the team...they had Albeck, Collins I know before Jackson...don't know who else...so it took at least two coaching changes to cut down the nets there.

So using that line of thinking the Miami Heat shouldn't be counted as champions because Shaq couldn't hit free throws and Dallas choked.

So I guess that makes the rest of the NBA teams last year piles of dogsh.it.

Ok i'm getting it.

So that means the next coach will send the Cavs to the promised land. And if you go by Jordan's career that means Brown gets one more season.

Clever use of 70s sitcoms, who was strong in the Eastern conference during Jordan's runs other than the Knicks (alledgedly) and Cavaliers (alledgedly) and the Pacers?? And those teams weren't continually strong...they peaked at different times. It's not like you have 6 or 7 strong teams in any conference any year with a chance to reach the finals. It is rare that more than 3 teams are ever good enough in a particular year.

That is a myth on how strong the conference was...ie, the Celtics playing a 30-52 team in the first round in 86 I think.

you win you win. It counts. IT matters not who you play. They won the first round over Washington. It counts.

The only thing that matters is the championship.

Don't win one? You'll end up a degenerate gambler doing commercials with strong homosexual undertones for a cell phone company.

LOL.

Back to the Cavs.

There is a very good chance Chauncey ops out of his contract and Detroit resigns him for the max and then trades him.

The pressure will be on the Cavs to win the East next year if that happens. Do you think they can do it?

If they get Billups!!

I don't think they are too far, but neither are the Bulls and it could be argued the Bulls are already better with more pieces to the puzzle in place.

they need a competent point guard in the worst way. I don't know if Gibson is that guy or not. He shows potential as a shooter and may be ok as a defender, but not really a true point.
