<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If the Cavs become a playoff team this season, they'll have to overcome both fierce opponents and skeptics -- and the latter group includes Bill Walton, the colorful, opinionated ABC analyst. "I'm not convinced the Cavs have the right roster," Walton says, noting the team's heavy reliance on high-priced specialists like Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall. "I mean, you've got a 6-9 power forward [Marshall] who, on offense, stands at the 3-point line all the time," Walton says. "What is that about?" Walton was in town recently to call the Cavs' nationally televised win over Phoenix. More than one basketball observer suggests Cavs head coach Mike Brown pulled off the best coaching job in the NBA's first half during the Phoenix victory. The Cavs somehow won even though Phoenix hit 50 percent of its shots, including 68 percent by halftime. </div> Source
The Cavs offense is a lot more effective when Marshall is in the game, taking those threes. Walton is used to the McHale-prototype of a PF. The game has changed.
