Can we give David Blatt some credit?

For starters try different cats. Bogut is practically worthless on offense and on the defensive boards. Give those minutes to Ezeli or Speights. He finally gave Lee some run and look what happened. Stop putting Barnes on Bron. That's not gonna work. Ironically, next game should look like the starting line up Mark used last year. Steph-Klay-Iggy-Lee-Bogut (Bring Harrison, Green and Ezeli off the bench)
Hard to completely switch up what you do/rotation at this stage in the game. I'm sure Lee will get more burn, but there's a reason he's been buried on the bench.

Ezeli has played well in spurts, not sure he's up for a larger role. Speights is not a difference maker. Barnes and Bogut just have to play better.

ALSO, he should try trapping Bron like they trap Steph. Their offense can't do shyt without Bron.
About the worst thing they can do. Leave shooters open for one of the best passers in the history of the game?
:ohhh::russ:

He sat for a minute, down 3 when left, down 5 when he came back. That was not the difference in them not coming back.

He was the difference he was 4 for 4 and didn't get in the game until the Fourth.

The entire starting lineup for GS except for Curry was 10 for 37

:what: Everybody knows Lebron is the one coaching the team...not that son of Amalek named Blatt.


RIGHT, BECAUSE LEBRON KNOWS HOW TO COACH DEFENSE AND BREAK DOWN THE OPPOSING TEAMS SCHEMES.....LEBRON ALSO WON EUROLEAGUE TITLES AS A HEAD COACH IN GAMES WHERE HE WAS THE HEAVY UNDERDOG....LEBRON IS KING. WE KNOW.

I'd live with it if Iman Shumpert and Delly are taking 3's OR Tristan Thompson shooting confused jumpers from outside the paint over letting Bron bully his way to the basket. Whomever has JR doesn't have to come off in case he gets hot and the same with James Jones who's only good for a few minutes. It ain't like he's on a team with Ray Allen. Kyrie and Love are out. They don't have shooters anymore.

You do realize that Lebron knows all the plays of his team and what each position is supposed to do including each player's defensive assignments and adjustments. A few minutes without Lebron on the court and that team turns into a development league squad. Lebron has the top bball mind in the NBA. Blatt is being groomed by Lebron, not the other way around. Blatt was breaking down film in the wack ass Euroleague, this is where the big boys play, not in Pink City.
