Comments on: Cavs Offense Brought Down By Weight Of Shaq. Get It? Weight?

The Cavs have been on a learning curve all year. They started slowly and have been getting progressively better on offense. They were starting to get going just before Shaq got down, and it continued with him on the bench. Now, if you're not watching the games, you'd say that's because of Shaq. But if you've been following the Cavs, you'd know the team has been steadily adjusting since preseason. With Shaq back, they had their best offensive game probably in LeBron's entire tenure in Cleveland, putting 111, and 68 in the 1st half. Also, Shaq is one of the reason the Cavs are killing from 3 this year due to the spacing he creates. And in general, the Cavs are 12-5 and destroyed the Magic in Orlando, which is one of the main reasons they traded for Shaq. If he can not let Howard go crazy (which he won't) then he will have succeeded. Moreover, they are still adjusting but still winning. You're calls for panic are completely unfounded at this point. If there is a problem, its not their offense anyway - that has been fine. Its there defense (which has been poor without Shaq) is their main point of concern.
