 General -  Game 2 Questions.notify me whenever anyone posts in this discussionSubscribe

I have two questions for this forum.

#1  Why in the name of heaven did Coach take LaBron out for most of the first quarter.  He lost his momentum, and there was no guidance to set up plays on the floor.  Oh, I know he had two fouls, but he was on a mission to win this game for us.  I think the loss was Coach Brown's fault for that major error.  I know he has to rest LB from time to time, but not for that long -- not 10 minutes.  That is ridiculous.

#2  Do you think Coach Brown was paid off to throw this game?  There could be no other reason I can think of for him taking out his superstar  player.  I think he should be fired for that.  Might sound extreme, but that is how I feel.

Ok Maxwell i see you are back to your old self again.
 
Number 1. If Lebron james picks up an offensive foul from Ginobili's flopping he has to sit out the entire half, not just the first quarter. Would you have preferred that? In case you haven't notice James has been called for a few offensive fouls because of the flopping/acting going on.
 
Number 2. You sound really stupid talking about firing a coach that just took your franchise to the finals for the first time EVER!!!  STFU Please. You cannot come up with a different strategy so please relax. That Monday morning quarterback stuff is pointless.
 
 
 
It's Just My Opinion!!!

I think Lebron should have been in the game even with two fouls in the first quarter. He is our franchise player so we go with him win or lose, fouls or no fouls. Now people will see why some of us have a problem with coach Brown.

Hi 4real,

Me too.  I was just listening to the commentary from the sports announcers, who did not want to say anything bad about the coaching.  They all agreed, a couple of minutes, four minutes, but not nine. 

Thanks for your message.  At least I know I am not the only 'bad' fan out there.  And I do not hate coach Brown.  I was just so disappointed, as I said before. 

I had said, Cavs in 5, but now, revision -- Cavs in 6.  We can still do it!, especially at home.

J,   J  Honey,  I am not "Maxwell",  I am Vi.  (whispered)

Okay, that is why I asked those questions, because I do not know the legal rules of the game, and smart person that YOU are has now set me straight.  And I thank you for that. 

That STFU thing, I think, is a bad word???  Whatever it means, you did not have to throw that in.  Stuff it??? Okay, point taken. 

Do you know what disappointment is?  Well, I was so very disappointed last night to the point of crying.  So there. 

The only strategy I would have is to not sit LaBron for so long.  9 minutes was a long time.  2 min would have been sufficient, don't you think?  By then, we could not catch up.  And the other thing I would do is, put the shooters on the floor earlier than the 4th.  Simple.  And then shoot the heck out of that ball.  Something would have to go in from law of averages.  That's the best I can do.

I hope Mike Brown listens to all the criticism that he's getting. I realize that the players cannot confront the coach. However, I hope Lebron has told him in private to let him do his thing, win or lose.

You think I would call my self Violet? Weird.

That is someone else. I would never say for heavens sake or whatever, no offense violet.

Things do need to change, Hughes is hurting not helping. I say sit him. 0-5 and a lot more olay D, just not worth it.

Hi Max,

Well, for heaven's sakes, that is what I have been telling him.  I am me, and you are you. 

If you will excuse me, I will now go slit my throat.  (End of game 3)
