What exactly does firing Blatt achieve?

[Marchesk]

Is not having him supposed to help the Cavs in the finals against the Warriors or Spurs? Will it help maximize Love's offensive abilities and minimize his defensive liabilities? Will it mean that Lebron bothers to show up the next time the defending champs roll into town?

They're 30-11, they got to the finals last season and competed despite the injuries they had. I don't get it. What makes Blatt worse than Spo?

At the same time, I never understood why he was hired in the first place once they knew Lebron was coming back. Didn't seem like the best idea.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Blatt fired.

From what I've read, Tyrone Lue was callling a lot of the shots anyway and was the guy the players listened to.

So, it appears that all they did was give the real shot caller the title of Head Coach, and moved the other guy out of the way so the real coach could have the power he needs.

I guess so. But what happens if they don't win the title this year, and they fired a coach who was doing well in the middle of the season? Does Lou get blamed?

Maybe they think there will be better locker room chemistry, and that's what they need to compete with the Warriors/Spurs. But if they lose ...

[Cocaine80s]

David Griffin said that players were divided and there was no chemistry.

Obviously the main core (Lebron, Kyrie, TT, Shump, JR) couldnt feel comfortable under a white coach. Same reason Cp3 wanted to fire Negro

[stalkerforlife]

Brotherhood.

[Asukal]

Lebald needs somebody to take the fall, take the pressure off of him. Does nothing other than to lessen the Cavs chances this year really. :oldlol: :roll: :lol

[Crimsonrain777]

it makes Lebron happy

[KiiiiNG]

Wait, weren't guys calling him out for letting LeBron step all over him? Why would they want a guy who didn't earn the respect of the best player in history?

You do realize LeBron is the most important piece of the Cavs success. He's everything.

Blatt has little NBA experience. And he failed to create a working relationship with the stars on the team. The players trust and respect Lue more, and that's what it comes down to. They hope to achieve more chemistry so they can have a better chance at a championship. It's really really simple. That's it. They feel Blatt wasn't the guy. How hard is that to grasp?

Okay. It's just weird timing. Surely, this didn't start this season. Why not get rid of the guy in the offseason?

And they better win.

[Gus Hemmingway]

Blatt was hired before Lebron got there, before Love got there, before Wiggins

Blatt hiring was suppose to lead a team of young talent to be an above average squad

Blatt was not hired to lead a team contending for a championship with a team full of ego's

Lebron and family originally wanted Mark Jackson as head coach, Grant said nah, so Rich Paul n Co. pushed for Lue

Blatt was suppose to get fired after the Portland blowout in Dec, but the following Phx game stopped that from happening

Teamates are waiving off Blatt's offensive calls and only been listening to Lue's

Blatt was scared to call out Lebron, only Lue would put Lebron in his place during games

The team is not anywhere connected to Blatt as a 30-11 team should be

It's apparent to the media surrounding the Cavs, most of the distrust towards Blatt came from Love, whom never liked Blatt.

Blatt was not using his roster effectively, his rotations effectively

The Cavaliers are WINNING but REGRESSING, they have been taking 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards

[Mr. Jabbar]

its obvious it was his fault (NOT LEBRONS) the ass beating they got from GS :lol

It's definitely strange to fire Blatt since he lead the team to the Finals when they were injured. And they are 32-11 at the moment.

That's not a bad job of coaching.

But with the Warriors this year, to win the Finals they'll have to have a legendary team. They can't just be pretty good.

And i guess they didn't think they could become a legendary team with a coach nobody listened to anyway.

[FireDavidKahn]

It means today LeBron got his friend a job. Blatt wasn't LeBrons friend

Several months down the road, I can't wait for the next set of excuses from lebald. Stay losing. :lol :oldlol: :hammerhead:

It'd be weird timing in the off-season too. Coming off a finals appearance where they won 2 games without Love and Irving? Obviously it came to a boiling point this year, they felt he could be the guy before the season.

LeBron's greatness creates 'weird timing' no matter what. Because people correlate winning percentage with good coaching, instead of understanding LeBron is the only reason they've won. They're gonna win just as many games, if not more, with Lue under the helm. It's all about getting over the hump in the playoffs. Wouldn't you agree they have a better shot with someone who the players respect and feel closer to?

Yeah, fair enough.

If players are refusing to be coached, sure. Though this is the problem with the nba. Coaches should have the power to suspend a player for not following their play call. A month suspension and fines would go a long way in establishing that the coach is in charge.

The nba doesn't work that way which is comical given how much credit some coaches get, but it is what it is.

[Nick Young]

apparently the Cavs started ignoring his playcalls from the sidelines and only listened to Lou.

Also, Love hated Blatt from the beginning for whatever reason.

Yea but its not Blatt's fault he's got a group of entitled, aau bred players.. although that is most of the NBA.

Carlisle's lucky his organization understands the value of signing high character players.. who listen to the coach and dont act like a bunch of spoiled brats.

[Draz]

Someone had to take the blame for the Oscars

[Lebron23]

Tyronn Lue - 2x NBA Champion

David Blatt - 1x Euroleague Champion


NBA > Euroleague

[Lebron23]

Seeing that last year a role player won an NBA title against a European Basketball Coach.

Maybe they believe that another role player is capable of winning an NBA title for his team.


This is how the OP posts. Such a terrible sarcasm.

Well, there ya go. Carlisle's lucky he gets to coach a mediocre team for the next decade. High character though.

Parsons was the guy Cuban paid 50 million to be a high character guy and lead the Mavs mediocrity charge. They're good friends. The Mavs don't have any talent, and their front office is garbage. But high character though, Rick is lucky

[Straight_Ballin]

Blatt was fired because lebron needed a scapegoat PERIOD.

Anything else is fluff.

the mavs have about as good a chance at a title as cavs do bro

Why would you fire your scapegoat that means you have no scapegoat anymore...how are people this stupid?

I don't think so. Mavs will lucky to make the playoffs. Cavs almost have a guaranteed spot in the finals.

I'm not saying the Warriors aren't the favorites, but injuries could always happen. Plus the Spurs look pretty damn good right now.

I like the Cavs chances against the Spurs. They're still having nightmares about what a healthy Irving did to em.

You get to sign the games best player next year. Much better than any other deal out there. If it falls on Lebron's shoulder this year... like it did in Miami two years ago... and what happened after that??? Management takes the blame on coaching this year. Lives another day to sign Lebron. You trying to win, a winning coach wins more than Shaq, Jordan, Kareem etc. Most first year coaches without a system hardly ever win. You didn't think this one thru at all.

Just goes to show how much dumber the other bran stans are posting in this thread for thinking that his post was intelligent to begin with. :lol

[outbreak]

Lebron can now believe he only loses to the Warriors because of blatt

[buddha]

LeBron's an idiot. he takes his head band on and off thinking it will effect his performance.. this idiot now thinks firing Blatt will help. he's gasping at straws.
