Lebron James did about everything he could Sunday except execute in the final 30 seconds. With his game high 45 points, he's hardly to blame for the Cavaliers falling a few points short on the road in Boston.

In a series Cleveland had no business taking to seven games, there's not a need to make drastic changes in the organizations leadership but there should be if Lebron is in their future past 2010.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating. Mike Brown needs to be removed from his head coaching duties. He's not an NBA coach, or at the very least, not one that should be in charge of managing the most physically gifted player in the game. The fact the Cavs have made the NBA Finals is a credit to James, and James alone.

Shockingly, Brown signed a two-year contract extension last summer following a series against the Spurs where he appeared absolutely clueless in trying to get Lebron shots and defend San Antonio. Brown gets the easy pass as James' number continued to improve this year, leading the NBA in scoring and adding 7+ rebounds and assists.

Far too often the Cavaliers sprint up court, but then pause and stand around for 10-15 seconds and stare at each other. There's nothing gained from this strategy. Of all the playoff teams, I'd put good money on Cleveland having the most shot-clock violations and/or misses with the clock expiring. No need for Phoenix's seven seconds or less, even though LBJ would dominate, but a happy median can be found. When teams stand around they get cold and shoot, well, like Cleveland does often.

James will be one of the game's very best all-time with or without a bad coach. He'll be one of the very best with several championship rings with a new coach, or perhaps new location.

It also wouldn't hurt for Danny Ferry to take a serious look in the mirror this summer. He's got a year or two to find his franchise one solid complimentary player. That sidekick isn't Delonte West, Daniel Gibson or Wally Szczerbiak. He's not on the roster right now.

Finding that 'Pippen' is going to be a major challenge, one that might not even limit the Cavs from another NBA Finals visit. However, keeping Mike Brown around will limit the organizations success.
