We hear it all too often. LeBron James has to carry the burden of his underachieving team. But are his teammates really that bad? Let's see, they have Larry Hughes, a solid second scoring option averaging nearly 15 points per game. He proved himself to be a playmaker during his time with the Wizards. Drew Gooden averages nearly a double-double (11.5PPG, 8.5RPG). Ilgauskas is solid in the paint (11.6PPG, 8.2RPG). The Cav's bench isn't at all bad either. Eric Snow knows how to run the point, Donyell Marhsall and Damon Jones can both shoot the 3 ball. LeBron's numbers are going down, but no one blames him. They blame it on the Cav's "stagnant" roster. His FT shooting is horrendous. I mean, 67.8%? That's bush league. If anything is wrong with the Cav's, it's either the coaching or LeBron. The rest of the team is doing just fine. So, why does everyone sympathize with LeBron? He deserves a lot of the blame for the Cav's woes.
