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.

Kan i remembered hearing that Bron remembered the whole playbook in 2 days. Imagine if he applied that to the scripts. :banderas:

Lue gives Blatt Props for being in the driver's seat....Lue said he felt a lot of pressure to match Blatt when he took over.

BLATT WAS AN EXCELLENT COACH WHO WAS FIRED WHEN HIS TEAM WAS 30-11 BECAUSE LEBRON WAS A PETULANT DIVA WHO COULD NEVER THRIVE IN A REAL COACH-PLAYER DYNAMIC

BLATT NEVER COACHED IN THE NBA AFTER, DESPITE HAVING CLOSE TO A 70% WIN PERCENTAGE IN HIS FIRST 2 SEASONS .. BETTER THAN GREGG POPOVICH OR PAT RILEY

LEBRON IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL CAREER KILLER

Won a championship the year Blatt got fired :mjlol:

I think Blatt was a good coach but he was the wrong one for that team. And at the same time why didn't he get another chance somewhere else? Can't be because of LeBron because almost all his former coaches either still have jobs or got new ones, word to Mike Brown

THE ONLY COACH EVER TO HAVE WON A EUROLEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, A EUROBASKET, A EUROCUP, AND OLYMPIC MEDAL ISNT A GOOD COACH NOW LOLLLLLL

WENT TO THE FINALS IN HIS FIRST SEASON COACHING AND HAD A 30-11 RECORD (1ST IN THE EAST) WHEN HE GOT FIRED

Are you only propping him because he's Jewish? Or because you don't like LeBron? :jbhmm:
