Nobody in NBA history could lead this team to the Finals (except perhaps LeBron). This is essentially a brand new, young, inexperienced team minus Love, JR, & Tristan (and Tristan is wholly washed and JR is almost washed).

You saw the inexperience last night. Hood & Clarkson looked like deer in headlights and were anxious all night - never settled down. Hill looked lost in the wilderness. Nance was the only new player who played with any kind of poise - and LeBron didn't do enough to make up for the team's poor play. It'll be like this all playoffs and it's why I don't see them getting out of the East. It's just too much to ask for an inexperienced team trying to gel on the fly.
