Funnier, because I'm pretty sure I've played with guys who were better shooters than Larry.<BR/><BR/>Nice, insightful post. If you're going to bank on the strategy of chipping away, you are certaintly right that the blows have to be precise and well-directed. No so sure that Brown views this quote with an offensive mindset, however, he's probably looking at it through his defensively colored glasses. <BR/><BR/>Seems to me that to chip away and grind at a team is what the Cavs tried to do to the Spurs in game 3. They kept the game low-scoring and defensive, yet still lost a heart-breaker. <BR/><BR/>When you have a once-in-a-lifetime player like LeBron, you can't force him into a box just because that's worked well with other players. Special talents need to be maximized and although LeBron's brilliance will always show through even the tiniest cracks, I'd love to see what James could do with some dyanmite (and some players that can consistently hit an open J).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321205520605648092noreply@blogger.com
