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.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. :heh:

David accepted the Barry Switzer-on-the-Cowboys role over the course of the season and i respect him for that :salute:

now please don't get too cute like at the end of game 1 and the Cavs might win the championship

The best bit of defense from a scheme point of view is double teaming and denying the Warrior's primary ball handler the ball.

Everything else is coming from grit hustle and determination.

What has David Blatt being jewish to do with anything?
It doesn't, but it also doesn't change the fact that Tyronn Lue is pretty much the Cavs defensive coordinator.
The guy at the top should get some credit no doubt, but if we're talking Xs and Os and defensive mindset, Lue should get most of the praise about the way Cavs play defense.

:mjlol:

Blatt is up 2-1 on the best team in the NBA with the current MVP, and he's essentially running a 7 man rotation. How can you not give him credit for winning these games. Moreso the way alot of you guys were gargling Steve Kerrs balls only a week or so ago.

He gets credit for staying the fukk outta the way. Tyronn Lue is coaching that defense and LeBron is doing whatever he wants on offense. And it's not like it's coaching that is making Delly and Thompson grab every loose ball.

definitely give Blatt his due.. He's riding the Bron wave but he's actually making some nice adjustments.

Can someone break down the whole 'its all Tyrone Lue' bullshyt?

Without being behind the scenes, how can you possibly say that?
