Well this might cost the Cavs another trip to the finals.

Who's gonna beat them? The Bulls?

You're bandwagoning this year is starting to get boring.

it must have been in the works for weeks:

That story is from last January... so months.

And it doesn't make Lue look great. I know angling for a multi-million dollar job requires savvy and even questionable moves, but that's pretty crappy if Lue was undermining Blatt all along in his quest for the job.

pretty crappy, yes, but thats the nature of the business.

[elmouse03]

So why did the Cavs fire Blatt after a huge win over the Clippers?

Stephen a. Smith on ESPN just now said Cavs aren't finished; mentioned trades.

As far as I'm concerned... Good.

Lebron trading himself to the Spurs

lol

At 19-20, nobody on the team respected Blatt yet (assuming they ever did).

because they had a BIGGER loss to the Warriors

Don't tell me you actually think the Bulls have a chance to make it to the Finals...

Well everybody has lost to the Warriors and Spurs (well except for the Bulls when it comes to the Spurs) this year.

I understand that. After all, what would some of us do for an extra $10 or $20M...

But players see that, too, right? And this from the guy who's going to ask for their "honest" effort and to "trust" him and all that other stuff?

Meh. It's a business. And a player's league. Run with it...

Just gonna have to wait and see how it plays out. A move like this in the middle of the season can hurt the cavs.

The Cavs are grasping at straws after getting whooped by Golden State and losing to SA this past week. Probably want to show LeBron that they will do anything to win. But the matter of the fact is the Cavs aren't beating either of those teams in the finals or in years to come given the teams cap situation. And LeBron is only getting older...

lol @ Currys stats vs lebrons....and they blame the coach smh

Curry is like the Messi or Pele of the NBA right now.

Lol @ directly comparing stats in a single game of players at different positions who didn't guard each other.

But they have the best point guard in the game in Kyrie.

For the idiots acting like CLE can't beat GS and SA. They held GS to a season low 89 points on the road. And they clearly outplayed SA until fatigue set in from their long road trip. In the postseason there is no two week road trips. With everything equal CLE can and will beat either of those teams. I love idiots who overreact to one game in the reg season. So simple and clueless.

There's irony there, considering the Cavs decision today.
