ben being a unrestricted free agent is tying flips hands. flip has to keep ben somewhat happy. mcdyess should be playing 30+ minutes. him and rasheed stretch the defense out. the paint is clogged and no post up for tay who the cavs have no answer for. i think flip is scared to sub because he wants to be able to say it was the players not his substitions. i think jmax would be good for this series he's just way tougher than any of the cavs bigs. but yes i know young players don't play in the playoffs.

where is fino?? he's a great on the ball defender against driving players that are too fast and strong for tay. fino is similar in strength to lebron. well closer to it than tay.

i think flip needs to stop doubling lebron. we play everyone else straight up now we double lebron. it was a good idea the first 2 games but mike brown has found a way to solve it. flip needs to go back to straight up man to man. have our bigs waiting at the basket to either block or take the charge. even if they only get 2 out of 6 charge calls. doubling lebron opens up the game for verajao, jones, gooden, marshall. none of those guys can just simply score on thier own.
