Cavs: Dave Blatt fired..

[Splits]

Zionism == Racism

There is no place for racism in the NBA

Boycott. Divest. Sanction.

This is a good first step. Props to Gilbert.

and to think this jew was going to coach the eastern allstars team...

[Dirk Oneanddoneski]

Not sure how LeBrons spiritual advisors are gonna take this

I never envisioned Lue being a head coach back when he was a player. I still remember watching this episode of him on inside stuff as a kid.

[Chris]

wtf...

Kevin Love tried to defend Blatt, but the firing came in the form of a pick and roll

[daslicer]

Is there any coach out there that Lebron will allow himself to be coached by or is he going to be the defacto head coach for the rest of his career?

[Spurs9]

wtf...

Would be a absolute joke if that dude just strolls in to coach the east.

[01Snake]

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

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

[JoeTait75]

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.

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.

What's your over/under months before Lue gets fired?

[LkrFan]

If LeHype wanted Blatt retained, he'd still be their coachPERIOD. #BADGM

[HemisfairArena]

Cavs sucking on a huge in' in the 1stQ against the Bulls. 24% from the field,,,,,

[raybies]

Anyone notice any differences in coaching by Lue?

[99 Problems]

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 ..

[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?

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.

This makes no sense. He's the GM.

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.
