Blatt Fired!

Statistically he doesn't look much different than he's looked the last few years (just his three point shooting is down). He's never been injury-prone so I think he still has 3-4 good more years in him. He carries around a lot of weight, but it's not really caused him problems.

He does have a lot of mileage on his legs, but Lebron is just not a freak athlete. he's actually a very smart basketball player so I think he'll be fine as long as he doesn't suffer a serious injury.

I just think the team needs to be constructed a certain way for him to succeed.

In Miami, he had Wade to carry the load on both ends. It took a lot of pressure of Lebron. Then the team was pretty much a bunch of shooters...so the spacing worked out well.

he's still good for it he's just taking it easy and saving it for the playoffs like he should.
 
As much as we think it's automatic the Cavs get back to the finals I'm starting to get the feeling somebody will knock them off this year. And we'll never see it coming.

that sounds good but these eastern teams needs to show they have some nuts. whatever team lebron is on the others just bow down. in the west they might lose to lebron but they don't just punk out like the east teams do
atlanta hawks and bulls im talking to you

Lol, The Cavs are trying to win an eastern conference championship. That's about as good as it's going to get.

They would have to make a trade or pick up some vets to have a chance at beating the Spurs or Warriors in the Finals. The only thing working in their favor is, it will be 1 or the other, 1 of them wont make it there.
 
so what moves do they make? and will a team like the knicks be willing to try and make sure they win a championship? lol

I don't think they'll make any moves. I think they're just going to change the schemes/rotations with the players they have now.

They need shooters though. Smith, Irving, Lebron, etc are all streaky perimeter shooters.

But we'll see how much of this was really coaching and just how bad Love and irving are defensively.... because Lebron without those two muthafuckas made the Warriors work...but then they get straight zodded by 40 at home with both of them???
 
lebron doesn't have too much power. anyone with sense knew this was going down. when you find out the inner workings its funny is all.

lue was the #2 choice- i didn't know that.
the cavs made sure blatt put lue on the coaching staff- i didn't know that
he was making 2 million as an assistant - i didn't know that
basically blatt had no chance.

im just soaking all of this in.

now we find out he wanted mark jackson so jackson signed to his agency for representation
and then they wanted lue to do it too but he wouldnt' so they settled on lue since the cavs didn't want to hire mark jackson

just a lot of stuff out there.

it ain't bad on lebron or nobody.
Post Kevin love playoff stats

Then post Wiggins stats

They both don't have none

I woulda went with Wiggins

U acting like getting love was like Kobe getting gasol

It was t

right but like i said to multiple deaf ears. lebron played the best basketball of his entire career those first few games of that series.
he did every single thing we always wanted him to do. he controlled the pace. he got in the post. he defended. he literally did everything in the world we been screaming for him to do and the games were still close lol

when i pointed that out people were like oh no you're just a homer. im like look. this nigga is scoring 56 points grabbing 22 rebounds and tossing out 17 assists and they winning the games by 7 points and klay thompson is putting up 5 points and shit lol


but if you look at him without them every other player plays defense. they have 1 job. play defense get the board hit an open shot

and neither love or kyrie is trying to do that. we know that for a fact.
 
love has proven you have to cater to him or he just flat out won't be into the game. you can't not run plays for him or have him as the 3rd option
cavs gotta treat love like the clippers treat reddick
every 1st quarter they come out and run like 10 plays to get reddick going every single game lol

Yep, Phil would go to Andrew Bynum early to make sure he stayed in the game mentally and especially on the defensive end.

ive never been a fan of kevin love. there's no difference between kevin love and kevin martin to me.

i used to ride for kevin martin and was like he's so underrated. he puts up these numbers but the teams are shitty then he got on the thunder and i was like ok here it is now you get to shine and he hated it. he hated being on a good team and not being the man that can jack up 30 shots a game cause it don't matter

now he back on the timberwolves doing what he loves, scoring lots of meaningless points that don't matter

some players seem to be more comfortable when shit ain't on the line.

thats just what you gotta do for love.
you also have to let kyrie get his 6 iso's a game. 6 possessions where you say ok go ahead and show off that you can dribble and go ahead and score. after that we running offensive sets.

:lol:

I can see Lebron talking to Lue... like "how many ISOs Kyrie have so far".. Lebron like "4".... Lue "let that nigga get those two out so we can get ready for the 4th quarter".

lmao you know it's true man. he needs his 6 to prove he's something then he can get into the flow. its crazy but if they can somehow manage to do that it would reap benefits.

then you look at these other squads out west and there's none of that. it's like we just pass the ball around so much it don't even matter. cause we all gonna end up with shots and if 1 person is hot we gonna keep feeding him the rock

it's how klay can just get them 50 point quarters and shit and steph and draymond are like cool go for it bruh.

love would come down and shoot a 3 to be like i can do it too yall!

For some reason I don't have a problem with Kyrie being Uncle Drew every so often...more so than often!!!


They played so so against the Nets, well against the Clippers, a change happen so it's time to play a tough Bulls team tonight...

Lebron would pass it to the hot player but hopes they passed it back...:lol:
 
He talking that shit but some are fans ready for his ass to go
The cac coaches are circling the wagons because of the perceived power of a black player named Lebron. They know that if other players had that same perceived power then they would be on the chopping block as well. Look for the coaches to try and make some noise in the off season to try and prevent this being a norm.

That's the elephant in the room.. Love and Kyrie make the Cavs worst defensively
 
So there have been countless 2 guards who shot below 25% from 3

There have been? In 2016?

Do you realize Lebron is shooting 30% this year. Teams would just play a zone against the Cavs and let Wiggins and Lebron have at it.

That's why teams get floor spacers. It helps Lebron and Kyrie drive, because a defense has to respect JR Smith or Love.

How can they play zone when Kyrie would just break that shit down?

Nobody respects JR or Loves jump shot that's the point..

Funny Bron shot a higher percentage from 3 when he was in the heat cause they had consistent shooters

Kyrie would just break the zone down? You do know a zone is meant to stop driving lanes, right? A player would lay off him rather than allowing him to penetrate or he would get help. Normally a zone is broken down by a player at the top of the key who's able to get the ball to the baseline.

People don't respect JR Smith, the dude who just hit 9 threes in a game a few games ago?

How is this going to become the norm? Lebron ran shit last time, and it didn't become the norm. He's running shit again, and it won't become the norm. Heat didn't let him run shit. Lebron may have wanted to treat Spo like a substitute, but Riley was in the back of the classroom watching like :hmm:

Lue already copping pleas in the interview about Lebron listening. It's not even about cac coaches. The organization couldn't get Kyrie in line to listen to BLACK coaches.

I just made an observation. One that will more than likely ring true in the future. Since when did coaches care about other coaches getting fired? Mst coaches are too busy worrying about losing their own jobs to be worried about someone else.
 
He's averaging round 15 points with 3 from deep per game over the last month.

When has a coach been fired after a finals appearance and having a conference best record? I can't recall? Maybe coaches are commenting because it's some newsworthy shit. All the winning teams don't operate this way. It's not a blueprint anyone will follow. Miami sure as shit didn't.

Mchale won the conference last year.
