So let me get this straight. Cavs are 30-11, 1st in the East, 3 1/2 up on Toronto who are in 2nd, not that far back of the Spurs for 2nd best record in the league, and are coming off a Finals appearance under Blatt in his first year coaching.......................AND YOU FIRE THAT MAN?

Difference was Riley had Spoelstra's back. The Heat's loss to the Mavs in LBJ's first year in Miami was surely worse than the Cavs loss to the highly favored Dubs. Yet Spo got another chance and Blatt was gone midseason next year.

Adding Love and kyrie helps the offense but kills the defense. Yes, hey stole two games they stole in the Finals but Delly and Tristan were the keys (outside of Lebron) and both would have sat ...Kyrie I think did help them win Game 2(?) before he got hurt though ...

Right thing to do imo. Dude was totally fucking lost. There is no flow to the offense, Blatt's subs don't make sense. He doesn't do anything but stand around and call a time out now and then. Cavs trying to get Thibbs before the Nets do.

No it's not no one is saying that or at least I am not. just saying that defense kept them in it and those 2 dont help there ...Shumpert does, though. Besides with the coach they just fired i dont think blatt figures shit out as the Dubs adjusted even if they were healthy ... maybe the cavs push it to 7 ...but they still lose.

Blatt got scapegoated, his team destroyed the Bulls last year that everyone thought would be a series, they then swept the Hawks in the conference finals. Then in the finals put together a valiant effort in a series they were not going to win when Irving went down.

More pressure on Lebron now, when they find themselves in trouble in the Eastern Conference playoffs, Blatt will be the one laughing. He made the east look like a joke last season, to the point, as average as the east was, it wasnt that bad to the point that it was completely un competitive. Reminds me of year one of the Heat, Heat rolled right through, but the next year found themselves in trouble against teams that were very average at that point in time.

As if LeBron wasn't carrying the team on his shoulders. Blatt's biggest contribution was taking the bitch seat to the King when he changed the play he had drawn up, and getting lucky that the refs didn't call the idiotic timeout he was trying to call with no TOs

Agreed..no doubt that an element of back-stabbing involving Lue here..He clearly seized a panic mode moment (the Warriors blowout) to pull off what he was planning on doing sometime in future ( HC promotion)..

Incredible scenes.. Finals appreances + top record in conference season after (Top 5 offense/defense in spite of missing key player to injuries at start of season) = pinkslip

^Solid find on Bat 20 post.

He's 2 for 6 now...I hope he's 2 for 10 when it's all said and done tbh.

[djohn2oo8]

LeBron will get yet another pass.

[DMC]

LeBron will get yet another pass.
Not from Kobe though.

King James will get to another finals showing that the hebe was simply along for the ride last year, tbh

Lebron is pathetic. :lol

[Thread]

:lmao

Oh, yeah, just fucking hilarious.

[DMC]

Blatt will be sought after alright, by Hamas.

[Mal]

That`s bad decision. Trade Love for some rebounding, defense, athletism and they could try, but fuck me Warrior and Spurs are above anyone else.

Not from Kobe though.

:lmao

Shots fired by Jim Carrey.

Came here to post this. RC with the goods tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wasnt he hired in the first place cause he was a jew?

[Reck]

So essentially the reason why he got fired was because he was relatively doing too good. :lol

There is no other way you could spin this other than Lebron made the call.

[resistanze]

What year was it when a reigning coach of the year got fired? And 2-3 other coaches who led their teams to franchise number of wins all got let go that summer..

Scum franchise & scum move. This is by far Lebrons biggest flaw and it has cost him many titles IMO. He's a egotistical man who wants yes men around him.

I have no issue with firing Blatt. But to show the entire world how slimy & back handed you are by inking a new deal within an hour? Lue better pray he wins it all bc after the stunt he & Bron & the Cavs FO just pulled good luck getting any coach to want you around. Snake in the grass ass coach.
Tyron Lueser

[100%duncan]

People acting like that record meant shit :lol they werent winning anyway. But signing Lu is obviously Lebron's decision so WTF :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

tyrone lue
fisher

lol have better team standing record than cripple **** as a player/coach role....

[Chillen]

Cavs just messed up so badly, Blatt didn't deserve this but already giving Lue a 3 year deal when you can get Thibs baffles me.

[pgardn]

Blatt knew the score well before this when Lebron shoved him aside. Blatt was weak and did not stand up.

That being said, it is hilarious how many people on this site relish the Blatt firing because he is a Jew.
The paranoia leaking out the anal openings is funny... Watch out, Jew in your closet at night, Jew under your bed.. Boo!

Holy shit, what a bunch of retarded cowards.

Lebron and Tyronne gonna have some amped up pressure now.

[DMC]

My issue with Blatt is that he did not seem to take the Alpha role and discipline Lebron if he did not follow the Coaches instructions. What did Blatt really have to lose? He got fired anyway.

It's fine to listen to player feedback and involve them in some decisions, but once the decision is made, it's final.
There's one coach in the league who yells at a star player. That's Pop. Blatt is just like 29 other coaches.

I doubt anyone gives a shit that he's a Jew. He's a foriegn coach, that's what most people see, and he's not earned his NBA wings.

[Koolaid_Man]

It doesn't really have much to do with basketball, tbh, nothing is going to change in that respect..

Lebron is the most influential Black man on the planet, in regards to empowering his race, tbh..he's just continuing the movement..hopefully he trades Love soon, too..


Influential in a dumbass way...Tyron Lue is a piece of shit

[99 Problems]

Like I said upstairs, the rise of Curry & Kiwi is starting to tip people around the league over the edge as they start to come to terms with not keeping up regardless of the cheque sizes they writing. :lobt2:

Relieve your doubts...

Yeah you know Lebron is feeling real insecure about curry stealing his shine.. Dude is in a state of panic

[apalisoc_9]

Good for lebron. This move was needed to be done. No place for arrogant aholes in the team

Lebron at 2 is a good thing...I will not jinx GS so I have no opinion of them

Not really for Lebron. He's just got a brand new scape goat. He's too calculated to ever catch heat, just like his move back to Cleveland.

- Unless they're Pop, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley or someone of that stature, NBA coaches are pretty much a dime-a-dozen. So IMO this isn't going to make much of a difference for the Cavaliers one way or another.

- I don't think LeBron initiated the firing. From what I've been hearing Dan Gilbert was just about the only man in the organization who had Blatt's back. Not that LeBron made any secret of the way he felt about Blatt, but I don't think he went to the front office and said, "Get rid of him." I just don't think it went down like that.

Do you feel like Lue is a snake?

[JoeTait75]

Do you feel like Lue is a snake?

I don't know. IIRC Lue is the highest-paid assistant coach in the league. IMO he was hired for just this type of situation- like, if Blatt didn't work out he'd be there as the heir apparent. If anyone here is a snake it's David Griffin for foisting Lue on Blatt in the first place.

So you don't think it's really Bron & are ok with Lue. The two guys you're stuck with. Interesting.

[JoeTait75]

So you don't think it's really Bron & are ok with Lue. The two guys you're stuck with. Interesting.

There were enough people in the organization that were dissatisfied with Blatt- like David Griffin- that he didn't have to be the one who pulled the trigger. I'm just saying I don't think this decision was initiated by LeBron, although I doubt he has a problem with it.

And I'm okay with Lue because with a very few exceptions I don't think coaches make a ton of difference in this league. I have nothing against David Blatt but I think you or I could have gotten the Cavaliers to 30-11 this year.

[SayTown]

Peter Vecsey tweet - David Blatt told friends in Israel last week, "It's either me or Kevin Love." Just surprised LeBron didn't decide sooner...

It's not about letting Blatt go - I agree who cares about the impact on court (although they will probably play harder). It's about what your new coach, GM & Bron did. They stabbed him in the back and were very underhanded about it.

[Killakobe81]

hmm.

Kyrie didn't play in game 2.

Kevin Love doesn't help any team's defense. What are you smoking? Is this another HH37 troll?

You did see the ? Mark right and i meant helped offense not defense.

[Venti Quattro]

makes you wonder if the CAVS are still a lock to come out of the East

Yes. That's how shit the East is despite the "remarked" improvement

[baseline bum]

Pretty smart for Blatt to force his way out of town like that if true. He can run back to Europe with his full salary and get a fat paycheck there too.

Stephen A sporting wood about a Jew being fired and replaced by a colored man.

That's just cold. :rollin

I hope this sets a trend for more awful coaches getting fired, despite their teams performing well due to talent.

Mike McCarthy- GB Packers
Ned Yost- KC Royals
Would like to see Jim Harbaugh as the Packers' head coach.

[01Snake]

LeBron said he was "caught of guard" by the firing. :lol

Sure buddy.

[mudyez]

But but...Lue is the Iverson stopper.

[Kidd K]

They're going for Thibs, IMO.

Even though we know who they hired instead, there's no way they would've gone with Thibs. Thibs wouldn't buckle and do what LeBron wanted and would demand more effort on D and in practice. LeBron would hate Thibs I think

I don't think Lue did anything underhanded. I don't think David Griffin ever wanted to hire Blatt in the first place. As for LeBron, well... he is what he is. He's been undermining coaches for years. It's part of the package with him. There's no sense in getting upset about it now.

Anyone notice any differences in coaching by Lue?

Thibs would be like Pop. There would be no doubt who was in charge.

[HarlemHeat37]

Where does Lebron rank when compared to other great civil rights leaders of the past such as Dr.King and Malcom X?

He's getting up there, tbh..having Terrordome played in a mainstream commercial that debuted on Christmas day is unheard of :lol..

[UZER]

Lebron was "caught off guard" by the firing yesterday.

He expected it to be done today.

[HarlemHeat37]

You guys realize that Blatt has had very little to do with the Cavs' "system" and x's and o's according to most reports over the past 2 years, right?:lol

Lebron and Lue had more authority over the Cavs, well before Blatt got fired..I don't know why people are acting like this move is going to change anything from a basketball perspective..

[Texas_Ranger]

anyone could take Cleveland to the finals. If not he should just kill himself... The only problem is that the Cavs ain't winning in the finals.

So people can't change, and we should just let them get away with anything because it's "just who they are"?

I might have bought that in 1890, but we've known since the last century that that's not true.

Lebron doesnt want to be coached he wants someone who lets hik run the show

[01Snake]

"I talked to (ESPN analyst and former coach) P.J. Carlesimo about it this morning, and I told him I think Coach Blatt should coach it," Lue said before making his debut as a head coach Saturday night against Chicago. "The NBA has been trying to work around some different things for the All-Star Game, and he's done a great job here. We're first in the East, and I think it would be sweet if Coach Blatt could coach the All-Star Game one last time."

Yes, because I am sure that is EXACTLY what a coach who was just fired wants to do. "Hey, I just got royally screwed but hey, I think I'd like to coach the ASG".

Lue is friggin' clueless. LOL

For me, personally, it makes me lose respect for him. It will affect my memory of him and his overall standing with the other NBA legends. If I'm starting a hypothetical franchise with any player in history, I'm taking Tim Duncan over Lebron James every time. :lol I might be a biased Spurs fan, but you could hardly argue that Tim is more coachable and easier to build around.
