Supporting Cast

A team needs a supporting cast. Just ask Lebron James. After another pounding by the Celtics last night, it seems that the lack of production from James, if anything, will cause the Cavaliers postseason demise. That has become the trend in Cleveland for the past several years: fizzling out after a stellar regular season. The question continues to be asked: do the Cavs need a bigger supporting cast for Lebron? Well, the answer is YES. It was yes when Lebron showed up and it is still yes now. The addition of Shaq was supposed to boost Lebron, but he has sat out with an injury most of the season, and is merely average when on the court. Now, with Lebron hindered with a shoulder injury, the obvious inconsistency of Mo Williams and other supporting players showed up like a shiny cold sore. And as Bruce Dickinson once said, the only prescription is MORE SUPPORTING PLAYERS! Well, something like that.
