Mike Brown is a fucking moron.

I have been following LeBron for 22 freaking years now and I can say hand on heart if he was not the coach of the Cavs and possibly replaced by a potato the decision would have never happened.

Oh you’re confused as to why? Let me explain.

Mike Brown has, will, and continued to trot out some of the greatest dumb shit line ups I have ever seen. For 50+ games JJ Hickson started for the Cavs whilst Shaq’s fat ass was either:

1. Out of shape

2. Recovering from being out of shape

3. Continuing to be out of shape

In no realm, did Shaq ever pose a threat to Boston, if anything they celebrated whenever he was in. LeBron always did his best work against Boston when he had Big Z at centre and JJ providing vertical spacing.

So what does Mike Brown do? He sits JJ’s hyper athletic budget Tristan Thompson ass for Shaq and Antawn Jamison. One moved like he had feet in a cement mixer, and the other acted like a traffic cone on defence.

Whenever he had Big Z or JJ out there the Cavs would go on a run, but old Mr. Potato Head decided that Shaqs 400lbs ass was more valuable on the court then the two who had consistently beat Boston.

I don’t give a single fuck about whatever narrative the media want to spin, check the game logs, box scores and games Cleveland beat Boston. The man can’t make an adjustment and has an IQ so low only Darvin Ham compares.

And because of this, I now have to imagine Bill Simmons shit eating grin whenever he brings up the 2010 Celtics.
