Are the Lue-era Cavs better than the Blatt-era Cavs?

[Nick Young]

Are the Cavs better off under Lue than they were under Blatt?

Do the Cavs have a better chance at beating the Warriors with Lue in charge than they did under Blatt?

Yes he manages the lineups better.

About the same the Cavs will have at least 2 of the big 3 healthy but Ihe Warriors are better than last season.

Blatt will prove to be a much better playoff coach. He defensive schemes were top notch

[DukeDelonte13]

i think blatt has a better bball mind and did really admirably against the warriors last year's finals,

BUT

Lue connects with the players on a better level.

I think it's foolish to try and beat the Warriors at their own game, which is the sense i get that Lue is going to try to do.


Either way it doesn't matter because the Warriors IMO are much better than they were last year. Cavs need a miracle or a major injury to win it this year.

The Cavs' defense has been terrible and their record has been underwhelming.

They are trying to adjust to a new system with no training camp idiot. :facepalm
Lou's NBA coaching career is off to a much better start than Blatt got off to last season.

The Cavs as well as ANY OTHER team in the NBA right now that try to play the Warriors style is going to get beaten VERY BADLY, that's just the way it is. You don't play to your opponents strengths, you try to exploit their weaknesses, it would be one thing if they were equally as good as the Warriors playing the 3 point game but they are not.

During spurts in the game Sunday against the Clippers you saw how effective Kevin Love can still be in the post even though he's a lot leaner than his Wolves days and in my opinion that is the ONLY way they can exploit one of the Warriors weaknesses on the inside and slow the game down a little bit. If I'm Tyrone Lue I would set up a double post attack with LeBron and Love and let the 3 point shooting come out of the double teaming down low instead of having LeBron trying to consistently set up and try to beat the defense from 25+ away.

The problem is I don't think LeBron has any desire to consistently post up and give up a lot of his "creator" duties. We'll see what happens

Will bet the farm you will be one of the first ones to flip-flop and throw Lue under the bus when LeBitch fails to win another finals come June. :pimp:

The CAVS arguably had an easier schedule when Blatt was at the helm. They are facing more back to backs toward middle end of the season.

Blatt is more experienced and a better defensive mind. Lue seems to have a better sense of lineups and when to give burn to certain guys.

Lue also makes a conscious effort to get Kevin Love several post ups a quarter and get him going.
