Holy shit Cavs fired Blatt!

[denali4eva]

What time is the press conference introducing Lebron James as the new player coach?

[Johnnyblazzed]

[Alex_Murphy]

Jew boy fake coach got canned!!!

Lmao!!!...

[zombiesonics]

GM James throwing his weight around again. How often do teams leading their conference by 3.5 games sack their coach?

And the team's second best player has only played in 15 games.

Great. Can't read to hear all the "It's time for me to be a leader" stuff coming from James...

Lebron had no idea about this.

And in true Cavs fashion they promote the guy on the floor here:

[vegasfraud]

LeBron has been praising Blatt all season...I believe he had no say in this. If you watch the games though he's always talking to Lue at the timeouts. It has been clear for awhile now he has the players ear more than Blatt did.

[Y2K]

[PhutureDynasty]

Iverson prolly hella mad.

[876Stephen]

Wow!!!

Guarantee if the Cavs didn't get blown out by the Warriors this wouldn't have happened.

Not a smart move tbh.

It's the Cavs were talking about here.

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

Jesus I didn't even realize he was on the hot seat.

Yea, I don't think anyone did lol

[thatoothpick45]

Well, LeBron is going to go to the finals with 4 different coaches, and lose with 4 different coaches.

LOL.

There is no way an organization makes a move like this in the middle of a quest for a championship without consulting with arguably the league's best and most influential player.

None.

That's just not how the NBA works... and I don't care what James or the Cavs claim. Anything to the contrary is purely PR fluff.

David Blatt: 83-40 since last season...got shit-canned
Byron Scott: 30-96 since last season...still employed

[ripper76]

Yeah, I'm sure LeBron had no idea...

lol

What a Micky Mouse organization.

I believe the Lakers are still paying Brown, D'Antoni and Scott is on the payroll. Not sure if they want to pay for a 4th coach.

[Incognito]

83-40 record

Racist black players got him fired so they could be coached by a brother.

The man who broke the story is reporting otherwise.

And he's reporting what he's been told.

C'mon. You know better. I'm not even ripping James here. But I am ripping anybody who's a big enough rube to think James didn't know this was going to happen.

Underachieving record given the talent.

And Lue saved Blatt in the playoffs from pulling a Chris Webber that would've cost them the series.
