I'm not fine with it, I'm just not surprised by it because it's so Cleveland and it's so LeBron. Spoelstra was on the hot seat for a long time at the start of the Heat big 3 times, but Riley had the guts to stick with him. LeBron doesn't seem to care much for being coached, he wants to do his own thing, he just gets no flack for it because he's LeBron.
Sometimes coaches are great at Xs and Os, sometimes they relate well to players, sometimes they manage egos. Sometimes they just get out of the way and let the players be great. I don't think Blatt is better than Lue at all of those things. So maybe he's a better coach for this Cleveland team.
Imagine if anyone else not protected by espn pulled this s*** http://sports.yahoo.com/news/how-da...IB 1/23/2016&utm_term=NBA National Newsletter
Wow. What a nightmare. It's like Kobe, but LeBron has at least 5 years left at them helm of the Cavs.
www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/552408/sports/basketball/blatt-s-firing-caught-james-off-guard About a week ago, Lebron was surprised that this firing happened.
James's reactions and responses were so out of touch with a guy who really was surprised or gave even an inkling of a s*** for the coach.
He won't be, he never is. He's never been called out for flopping, he's never been called a lesser great because he's like 2-4 in Finals (and should be 1-5 if not for a a Ray Allen 3), but celebrated because he's been to 6. He isn't talked bad about because he's the real owner and GM of the Cavs, the talking heads just laugh about it and say "oh that's just LeBron ha ha ha". He can do no wrong with the media.
Love and Irving are horrendous on defense. LeBron can be great but hasn't put in effort on defense so he sucks too. Kawhi > LeBron. Blatt has made mistakes, but nobody on the Cavs gave him a chance to succeed.
For Kobe this season is all about saying goodbye to his fans in all the league's cities. For Lebron this season is all about "plugging" his hairline so the sweatband didn't have to go here this year.
That dude is the best coach ever. He just implied that it was his fault... I think. Anyway - Pop knows his stuff.
and apparently lue will be the head coach of the east all stars now that is a joke. i know its just an all star game but you're really going to have a guy who's coached 3 games be the head coach? dwane casey should've been blatt's replacement. just when you thought this whole thing couldn't get any more hilarious
