Mike Brown is a great defensive coach

Let me say that again. Mike Brown is definitely a good (great might be a stretch) coach and that is without question. The Cavaliers successes with him over the past few years would not have been possible without him. You have to figure that Brown was not given much to work with and he got quite a bit from the Cavaliers team as it is constructed. In fact, I would even say that the guy has enabled Lebron to become a two-time MVP. However, the writing is on the wall. Lebron is frustrated, and Brown does not know anything about offense.

What the Cavaliers need is balance on offense and defense. I am not one to advocate that the man be fired, but then again I am. Hey, I have lost jobs in my life, and at the same time I have walked away when the fit was not the best. The Cavaliers could have beaten the Celtics...absolutely. The problem is that Brown and his specialty, namely defense, failed the Cavs and there was no offense. Rajon Rondo is a good player, and Mo Williams is a liability, but Brown has failed to motivate these guys. Once Lebron leaves Cleveland what, pray tell, will Cleveland do?

Basically it looks as though the Cavaliers are waiting on 'The King' to tell them in which direction he is leaning. With all the length on that team someone should have been able to close out on the shooters of the Celtics and then there was Shaq underneath. As a coach, Brown is a defensive specialist. He had at his disposal Antawn Jamison who is a capable scorer, the rebounding (read: size) advantage, and the best player in the league. He took the team as far as he could take them, however, the Cavaliers have peaked under him, and its time to move on. Make the move before Lebron makes the move for the team.
