I said it about a million times during the past few weeks, and I strongly believed it with all my heart, that the Cleveland Cavaliers was a one-man-team. There was one moment though, narrated in one of my posts, when I believed that there was a possibility that things could change and LeBron did have some legitimate help. And although LeBron still needed to play almost the entire game to keep the plays intact tonight, that bright light illuminated all doubts and speculations regarding LeBron's teammates. One game after beating the Detroit Pistons 1-on-5, LeBron finally got big help from his teammates tonight and got extremely better results in the end. There are two players I would like to commend: Daniel Gibson and Anderson Varejao.

Jordan-No one, Im talking about superstar who can get off a clutch shot and make it so we'll put LeBron in a joint role
Pippen-LeBron, because he can do whatever, rebound,pass,score and can occasionally make the clutch shot
Steve Kerr-Daniel Gibson,Small shooter who can be lethal if you leave him open
Dennis Rodman-Anderson Varejao, now Varejao is not close to the defender or rebounder Rodman was, but he is feisty and can get under your skin, a real hustler.
Toni Kukoc-Donyell Marshall, Big small forward who can play PF and knock down the 3
Bill Cartwright-Zydrunas Ilgauskas, brings size to the table
As you see, Larry Hughes has no role. Eric Snow has no role. Maybe LeBron can become that lethal clutch player and not need someone as talented as Pippen and then maybe Hughes can fit in. The one noticeable difference I see is that just about everyone could score and Cartwright and Horace Grant could defend the post and Cleveland lacks that and they have to go against maybe the best power forward of all time, Tim Duncan.
