David Blatt's Camp Believes Firing Was '1,000 Percent LeBron

[FlashDwyaneWade3]

This is from David Aldridge


David Blatt's camp believes that his firing was "1,000 percent LeBron," as one supporter said over the weekend.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James have each said that he played no part in the decision.

The Cavaliers hired Blatt in 2014 before they realized how seriously James wanted to return.

James has reportedly preferred a head coach who was formerly an NBA player, something he's only had in Paul Silas during his career. James and Tyronn Lue had also grown to have a healthier working relationship than he had with Blatt.

LeBron is a ego maniac. Pat Riley is the man for not bowing down to LeBron.

It's because LeBron James feels more comfortable around Black People.

Lebald had a meltdown after Curry humiliated him :lol

[DetroitPistonFan]

So LeBron wants a head coach who's played in the NBA. So he doesn't want a great coach like Tom Thibodeau or Gregg Popovich on the Cavs.

...LeBron is a ego maniac. Pat Riley is the man for not bowing down to LeBron.
lebron is an egomaniac, but then so are most superstars. i think his standout problems are moreso his passive-agressive approach to decision-making, his large throng of yes-men, and the overestimation of his own coaching / GM skills.

the head coach is also way too important of a position to undermine or simply not get the best effort from. lebron should ordinarily be helping to build trust and communication with the coach, not waving off his plays, making him look bad, and making his job a PITA.

similar thing with kevin love. i mean, considering how much he persuaded the cavs to trade for him, it's rather mind-boggling the way lebron has gone out of his way to make love feel marginalised. it's like lebron is saying "we're going to win a championship at the time and place of my choosing, but it has to be done my way, with my people...... because i know best."

so yeah, maybe it is just pure egomania at the bottom of the well. and/or maybe a truckload of insecurity.

It's just his agent putting things out so he doesn't have to say it himself

the only way it could be more realistic is if they were shooting him from a distance... in the back. :banana:

This is the worst-kept secret since Rajon Rondo's "back injury" sidelined him for the rest of last year's playoffs. :rolleyes:

[bluechox2]

did not lose any respect for this guy cause he never had any, and all the lebron sheep in the media still trying to convince us that "he went back home for the city" when in fact he only went back after they pulled the deal for kevin love to form a big 3 for teh weak minded fake star

in that case, that would have made it more fair!

[RoseCity07]

I'm not even trolling when I say this, Lebron really is starting to look like a p*ssy in my eyes. I rooted for him for years. Even in Miami. He is such a f*ggot when it comes to his image. He quits on his teammates. He wants it to be easy.

He battled hard last year but instead of coming backs stronger he blames it on coach. He's never going top 5 with shit like this.

Except John Snow lives and becomes... well, we'll see what happens with Blatt before then probably.

[Duderonomy]

Blatt could never successfully integrate Love, Kyrie, and Bron.

How hard is it to have Love on the floor when Bron is on the bench?

ummmmmm again why are we blaming blatt for love's failure???

when you are a STAR player you dont need a system or whateva to get you offense...you a STAR F*CKING PLAYER. Eventually you figure it out. bosh did,wade did,kobe did,pippen did,parker did,ginobili did, hell i can go on. Stop makinfg excuses for love. Dude is a scrub that was comfortable in minnesota stat padding and getting paid...dude gives two shits about winning a ship...its apparent in his body language.

Curry got baldy whipped.

[RepMe]

Of course it was.

[MP.Trey]

Anyone who has followed LeBron's career knows he was the main catalyst for this decision. Typical LeBron overreaction, he never liked Blatt and constantly undermined him which eventually spread to the rest of the locker room and made it impossible for Blatt to implement any kind of consistent offensive gameplan. Quite sad how Blatt was setup for failure.

[FireDavidKahn]

Of course it was:facepalm

Anyone who believes otherwise is a moron..:facepalm
