The one thing they still don't have is a second player who can create his own shot. You can't have LeBron going 1-5 in crunch time and win consistently.

I do agree with this. For the kickout guys, we'll see. I didn't see anyone step up against the Magic. Jordan had Paxson and Kerr. When you needed a big shot, they'd hit it.

We'll definitely see. Gibson's been pretty red hot of late, but I've always viewed him as a streak shooter until recently. Mo Williams definitely isn't that guy, when it comes to the playoffs. And Parker might step it up, but I just haven't been overly impressed with him so far.

But I think you're right that they have some guys who could fill that role. I do agree that they need a guy who can set up some shots.
