Game 4: I'm starting to get sick of Mike Brown (and maybe Rondo too)

Uh-oh.  The Cavaliers lost in Boston on Sunday, in ugly fashion.  The series is now tied 2-2, and the we must defend home-court tonight to take a 3-2 lead.  This is not what was supposed to happen in this series.

The Cavaliers still don't seem to have an answer for Rajon Rondo, who had a ridiculous 29 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists in Game 4.  Seriously, a triple-double for Rondo?  That's not right.  LeBron was not on his game, and finished with only 22 points.  He missed all 5 three-pointers he took.  This one hurt to watch.  Even though LeBron had a disgusting block on Ray Allen, and Jamison threw down a few dunks, there wasn't a whole lot of positives to take away from our defeat.

Cavs fans, we should all be highly concerned.  This is now a 3 game series, and Boston seems to have the momentum in their favor.  I'm not happy about it.  I'm pretty sure it's all Mike Brown's fault; Let me tell you why.

Shaquille O' Neal was a force in Game 4 until he picked up his 5th foul.  So of course Clown sits him down, and for some reason he never returns to the game.  Are you serious?  They were taking advantage of our small lineup, and apparently Brown didn't recognize or seem to care.  Speaking of small lineups, what has happened to Zydrunas Ilguaskas?  Honestly, this is really starting to chap my ass.  So what you're telling me is, you don't have any room in your rotation for a 7 foot 3" Lithuanian monster who can knock down shots anywhere on the floor?  This man has given his life to our franchise, and you are now deciding he has no place in our playoff lineup? 

Really though, it doesn't make sense.  We're getting dominated in the paint, Shaq has 5 fouls and you won't put him back in.. and you still won't put Big Z in?  Don't you realize he's still one of the best centers in the league?  Didn't we make a huge effort to resign him after trading him to Washington? Quit being stupid, adjust your glasses, and realize what you're doing.  LeBron led us to the best record in the regular season, not you.  In my opinion, you may be coaching yourself out of a job.  If you can't figure out a way to get your lineup to make sense, and find out how to stop Rondo, (put LeBron on him all game)  I really don't want you coaching my team.  Not that you're really the coach anyways.

I'll continue my rant.  Tony Allen comes in the game and starts lighting our defense up, and you still make no adjustments.  Your answer?  Play JJ Hickson for 5 minutes.  You're not as smart as you don't look.  I hope you make some serious adjustments in Game 5, because your stupid lineups are really starting to get on my nerve.  Play Shaq until he fouls out, find minutes for Zydrunas, and put JJ in the game when we need a spark.  Does LeBron have to make another public statement before you get it through your head?  You're not the coach of this team.  LeBron is.  LeBron James is Underrated
