(There is an 89% chance Williams drove to the bucket and missed this shot)

Uh-oh Cleveland fans…

The Cavs made a big move acquiring Antawn Jamison, but that wasn’t enough against the Magic today in Orlando. I like the Jamison trade, but Antawn Jamison can’t make Mo Williams and Delonte West any better. In yet another example of the Cavs supporting cast choking in a big game, Williams went 1-9 from the field and West was 2-9.

Jamison and O’Neal both played well, going 9-14 and 9-10, respectively. LeBron, was also a stud, but that’s not a surprise to anyone.

The Cavs need to figure out a way to get more consistent bench play in big games. Mike Brown needs to start getting Williams and West into games earlier so they can get into a rhythm. If role players can’t get something going early on they need to adjust and jest keep them off the floor.

Orlando is starting to look like the Orlando from last years playoffs and if the Cavs don’t get more consistent production from their bench they can’t beat the Magic…. let alone the Lakers or Nuggets.
