David Blatt is being underrated

[ISHGoat]

Him + Lebron are doing a fantastic job of adjusting to the defense and not missing a beat when stars get injured. :applause:

If JR didnt randomly get suspended for a game and rose didnt hit a lucky bank shot, cavs would be 12-0 right now, despite all the injuries. Cavs destroyed whatever lineup they faced, for almost the entire playoffs

....against the east.

Cavs might as well play in the Euroleague and Lebron might as well be their Anthony Parker. Who cares? Let's see what happens when they face an NBA team on Thursday.

JR was suspended for 2 and could have justifiably have gotten more.

Blatt is doing a good job. Chicago and Atlanta were both legit teams.

[KembaWalker]

Same people that are congratulating him now were calling for his head in the first half of the season

:roll:

No. Those are two completely different groups of people.

The ones calling for his head are Bron stans.
The ones congratulating him now are most certainly not Bron stans.

I remember when Mr. Potato Head (Mike Brown) was given a lot of credit. :roll:

It being Blatt's first year plus having to deal with all of the shit he had to deal with, I think it's way too early to judge him.

Chicago wasn't legit. Overrated team and just gets hyped because of the market their in.

[CavaliersFTW]

Who's he being underrated by? He's done a solid job so far. Don't think anyone has said otherwise have they?

*EDIT* (Other than LeSlurpers early in the season. And if Cavs lose of course I'd expect an irrational tirade from them against Blatt)

*EDIT*
..Case in point, see below :oldlol:

[LikeABosh]

No, he's not. If you knew a damn thing about basketball you'd see he doesn't do shit. You could have a potato on the side line and nothing would change (see Mike Brown). LeGOAT runs the show.

are you trying to say that bron does this all... he's a part-time owner, GM (he did those trade Shumpert, Smith and Mozgov) and now a full time coach while playing :confusedshrug:

Meticode was hating on him before and early in the season pretty hard.

You could literally dress up a Furbee with a suit and he would have the same effect as any other coach in the NBA, players play and win the games, not the f*cking coaches.

You don't play Boozer, so STFU.

Mozgov trade was mostly Blatt's work.

:rolleyes:

They only became sh*tty when the cavs beat them. Same with the Hawks.

depends

usually, 12 millionaire adult children cannot coexist without a lead controlling their spoilt minds and bad habits. It's never easy mind, this is why the best team in paper sometimes doesn't win. Sometimes, the franchise player has such a status that he can take said role, but it's rarely the case.

[ISHGoat]

Theres no doubt that Blatt is the reason mozgov went to cavs & he's doing so well. The media painted an incorrect picture of blatt running the princeton offense, simply because he went to school there. In fact, people knowledgeable about european basketball know that Blatt always maximized his teams' talent. He wasnt a potato coach like brown or an old geezer like d'antoni that refused to adjust. On numerous occasions he has led a team with lesser perceived talent to an "upset" over a star-studded/stacked team for a championship.

He always tailor made his offense towards his team's strengths. It is not by coincidence that Lebron is ISOing at a ridiculously high rate during these playoffs. Lebron and kyrie are two of the deadliest ISO players in the game, blatt gives them the freedom to do what they are best at.

Just look at the production that the bench is giving the cavs. Cavs are also doing extremely well with lebron sitting. You cant say that this isnt from good coaching.

Blatt is one of the best coaches in the game :cheers:
