    1 game? 2 games? 3 games?

    It's not entirely his fault, tbh... but you know he'll be the first to go...

    I doubt he'll get fired, Spoelstra didn't..

    They'll trade Waiters first, and then move from there..

    Blatt is the least of their problems, though IMO..LeCoon is their biggest concern, atm, tbh..

    Nah, growing pains. They'll be really bad then they'll be really good. There won't be much middle ground.

    I think he'll be gone... this isn't Pat Riley behind the wheel... it's Dan ing Gilbert....

    I bet Waiters is already talking about him to management...

    Too early in the season. They are a team in transition. They'll get it

    You're like the the Revelations of El Nono, however I think it would damage the team to fire a coach after just a few games with a basically entirely new roster. If they aren't in the hunt by Christmas, there could be issues. Lebron is on a 2 year deal, so someone will create a "get Lebron the ing ball" poster and that will be that.

    Miami's offense was flawed all year, though..Spoelstra has said that they didn't practice any offense in year 1, and that he redesigned the entire offensive scheme after Dallas defeated them in the Finals..

    The difference is that Miami team was arguably the best defensive team in the league, Lebron was at his defensive peak, and they had many defensive options..it's much easier to play great defense than it is to have a good offense, especially with a newly constructed team..

    yeah, probably it will take longer... I just get the feeling the team's flaws aren't fixable without a move or two, and I don't know Blatt has that much time...

    Rondo perhaps? Not a shooter but there might be some intrigue there.

    I'd think the opposite would be true: offense comes easier on new teams (All Star game, as an example). Defense is more predicated on communication, switching, weak side help, rotations and all that . Offense, one or two guys can turn up the offense but if they don't communicate on defense and don't know rotations, they will be destroyed.

    Rondo might be worse imo and also another proven cancer.

    The Cavs will be fine. It takes time to build chemistry and learn how to play together. They've looked pretty bad at times and are still barely losing these games. They'll still come out of the East** imo.

    I actually think Love is a below-average defender... so is Varejao when you take the flop away from him... I don't know who's going to anchor the paint in that team...

    Half NBA fans would think Ricky Rubio foots that bill (got five first team All-D votes ). Not sure if the problem is Kyrie or Love. People fail to realize that (a) 2010 Lebron ~ 2014 Lebron (peaking in 12/13), (b) Bosh > Love even at present and (c) 2010 Wade >> 2014 Irving.

    Love is fine. Its easier to screw up with a guatd than a big man.

    You can't compare this Cavs team to those Heat teams at all. Miami had the better defenders, and much superior big 3. People act like this is the Miami Heat all over again and it's not even close. Sure, they'll get better (and probably become a boss regular season team), but their flaws won't simply go away. They are loaded with ty defensive players. That is a fatal flaw.

    Trick question:No one is going to anchor the defense.

    They better get that offense together lol

    The 2011-12 and especially the 12-13 Heat were much better than these Cavs ever will be.

    Blatt won't get fired, they'll pull it together. The Great Satan can will his team to a 1-3 seed. His teammates just have a lot of muscle memory to unlearn and he needs to give a on defense.
