OT Cavs have fired their Coach

[Rastapopoulos]

As somebody who lives in Michigan, I can't get too mad at Dan Gilbert.

Blatt should end up with the Nets - the Russian connection.

 

[0-Our!]

I've never seen this guy before, he must be a Euro Let's sign him! He's makin' this girl look like an amateur!

 

[Blazers Roy]

It pains me to see how every american feels as if it's ok to throw garbage at David Blatt, he's a pretty good all-around basketball guy.
I'd hire him in a heartbeat to be assistant coach (future head coach) \ scout\ GM consultant.

But i'm not too worried, he will get his break sometime and take some underdog team further than anyone would expect.

That would be a very bad decision for David, that team is a mess.

So apparently, it is the head coach of the listed team with the best record. So Tyron Lue could be the All-Star game coach after just a few games.

 

[Dan Marang]

Because it's well-known that the owner is the dumbest NBA owner. What a sorry record of hires, draftees, and quick-fix transactions.

Gilbert is bad...really bad. But he's not Dolan bad. Dolan may be the worst owner in sports...

Would you send 'em Chris Kaman and his pale balding head?
Would you send 'em Meyers Leonard? Yeah, that's what I said!
Would you send a package including Moe and Ed?
I could trade that. Yeah, I could trade that.

Maybe they'd accept Aminu and Vonleh.
Worst comes to worst they'd demand CJ.
Sooner or later, you'll send him away.
I won't do that! No I won't do that!

Yeah I could trade anything for Love.
I could trade anything for Love.
I could trade anything for Love.
But I won't trade that.

I fucking hate meatloaf with a passion! But this post has to be considered for post of the year early on in 2016.

So to be clear, we are gonna have Lebron James coaching the east and Luke Walton coaching the wst. That would be by far the youngest pair of coaches ever I would assume...

That does make you wonder if Steve Kerr is only coming back now so that he can coach the All-Star game. Maybe he has a stipulation in his contract that gives him a bonus for having the best record by mid-season. Or he is just jealous of the attention Luke has gotten. Or it could all just be a coincidence. Interesting timing though.

 

[Chris Craig]

...so should we follow suit, fire Stotts, and hire Muggys Bogues as our new coach

The rule is that you can't coach the All-Star Game 2 years in a row. Kerr coached last year, so this year it'll be Popovich. If Kerr hadn't returned, it still would be Pop, since Walton's not the Warriors head coach.

That victory over the Cavs we had earlier in the season? Apparently they lost on purpose:

“The players were so upset that he didn’t communicate with them, and that he didn’t give them the opportunity to understand and discuss the decision, that they basically boycotted the game the next night,” Windhorst said.

“They played a game in Portland and they got blown off the floor. They were never competitive from the first five minutes on against a Portland team that’s frankly not very good.”

(The Blazers beat the Cavs 105-76 the next day. Kevin Love led Cleveland with 13 points. The Cavs shot 36.4% from the floor, 60% from the line, and were outscored 34-12 in the first quarter. Oh, and Damian Lillard didn’t play.)

No need to be rude, "Bay Area Sports Guy"...

I'm getting a malware warning. How about pasting more of the article here (hurry, before your computer explodes).

Never thought Blatt was a good match for that roster. Once LeBron agreed to come back, they should have went with someone that could stand up to him. Say what you want about Spolstra, he could at a minimum do that.

This, and Blatt just isn't very good. He tried to call a timeout in a playoff game against the Bulls last season, and he had none. If the ref had seen it, technical FTs for the Bulls and they would have won the game. LeBron basically hated the guy as coach all along.

And as good as the record is, the Cavs are doing worse and han expected. They spent way over the LT to add to their finals team of last year.

Blatt lost that locker room a long time ago...just a bad fit..good news is he gets the hell out of Cleveland

 

[BBert]

The players got Blatt fired because he didn't get their approval for his game plan? Christ.

They didn't ask for my approval either.

Happy New Year, or Eternity or whatever you celebrate out there. I liked your posts so this should buy me a couple of breaks right?

Fraud!

Seriously, he lost the locker room a while ago. But on the other he doesn't have to live in Cleveland any more. I swear, that city must suck for good reason. Every comedian, writer or sentient human being I meet rags on that city. Did it lose a bet with God or something? Wait... no that's Detroit.

I lived in Akron for 3 years! I am so proud of myself.

Wine is good.

It's really funny to read the various reports referenced here.
Berman of the NY Post and Wojo side with Blatt. Our old pal Haynes tells the story that Blatt was weak and useless. Nobody comes out of this looking good.
