whoa the firing of the coach just more proof of much a legend the GSW team is becoming
it was all their fault, Cavs was smooth sailing before they ran into GSW
one game wit GSW and they in panic mode!
 
Blatt was never supposed to coach this current team anyway. They hired him a few weeks before they knew of Lebron's intentions and couldn't just fire him once they learned LeBron was coming back.
 
David Blatt fired as Cavaliers coach, per sources

The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired coach David Blatt, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

The title-hopeful Cavaliers lead the Eastern Conference at 30-11 but were blown out by the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Monday. Blatt had lost support of the locker room over the past month, sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Associate head coach Tyronn Lue has been elevated to interim head coach, according to sources. Lue signed a three-year contract Friday to be the team's head coach, according to Yahoo! Sports, which also first reported Blatt's firing.

Sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard that many Cavs players, especially the veterans, felt like Blatt was in over his head as coach. They questioned whether he knew the league well enough to lead them to a championship.

LeBron James was not consulted before the Cavaliers made the move to dismiss Blatt and was informed of the decision Friday, sources told Windhorst.

Blatt leaves the Cavaliers, his first NBA coaching job, with an 83-40 record, and his .675 winning percentage was the best of any coach in franchise history. Cleveland lost to Golden State in the NBA Finals in Blatt's first season and James' return to the Cavs.

Cleveland started the season without Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert for the first two months because of injuries. Timofey Mozgov (knee) and James (back) also were less than 100 percent coming out of training camp.

:hmm:
Bullshit of course he was consulted before the firing
 
I was looking at dude yesterday wondering when he'd get his shot....



Agreed.....but with that said, they just lost in the Finals with three of their starters out due to injuries.

Wtf do people aka "Lebron" want? :confused:
It was obvious early on that Blatt was being out coached by MOST coaches in the league. EXTREMELY obvious. People made excuses saying that he was getting used to the league and still thinking Euro ball. When he gave after game assessment interviews he never seemed to have a grasp for what just happened.
 
Blatt was never supposed to coach this current team anyway. They hired him a few weeks before they knew of Lebron's intentions and couldn't just fire him once they learned LeBron was coming back.

Yeah. It was going to happen anyway
 
you know what I'm push for cleveland to win the chip now...this is EXACTLY what stephen smith was talking about...let a black coach inherit a team that a white coach built up and take them to the next level (granted blatt ain't really build up shit but still)...I want to see GS beat that 72 win mark but I'm pulling for cleveland to win it all tho
 
Just heard on the radio Blatt and Kevin Love hated each other basically. Blatt told friends in Israel him or me.

imo and this is jus my opinon but i still think Jackson under achived wit that squad

I don't. they were never fully healthy and you win in process. They were taking the steps but actually the bench is what made all the difference in the world between the year before and last year and even this year.
their 2nd unit is better than the 76ers starting lineup
 
And they're reporting Lebron and Paul pushed for Tyrone.... :smh:

Damn...Cavs need someone like Riley up here....this is fucked...Cleveland fucking curse....
 
I knew something would happen when I saw Bron and Lue talking on the bench for a long time during the Warriors blowout. Bron did not sit near his teammates. I thought that was weird.
 
he run the city lol it's what you complained about the 1st time around all over again gene lol. its happening the exact same way again. they get their old parking spots back?

The 'MAN' is back in charge. This is what did the first version of the Cavs in. He'll listen to Lue...until he don't listen to Lue. Blatt is going to have some quotes about this shit in a few weeks. He'll try to keep it classy for another shot in the league.
