Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
Nah. Not against the team you just played in the Finals in YOUR building and then come back in YOUR building saying we hope it still smells like champagne. That's some flagrant shyt, but the Cavs backed down from the opening tip. This Cavs team might/probably will win the East, when they get to the Finals they'll be exposed again
yup
lets just throw another coach in there for Lebron to undermine
aint no REAL coach gonna wanna put up with that "I need to have my steak cut into lil pieces" diva bullshyt
go on get Mike Brown ass back in there

No that's actually a legit gripe. Out of the top 15-20 players ever, lebron has probably had the worse head coaches coaching him in his career.
The only thing i'll say is lebron had a chance to go to a different them than miami to be coaches by someone he would respect, ala a popp, or a carlisle, had he decided to take less money
You have to want to be coached by those kinda dudes. It's obvious that LeBron doesn't.
Kobe gave Phil all kinds of grief, but one thing Phil would say is that he knew the offense and he listened even if he didn't want to.

I’m here for the scraps
This is something that gets overlooked I think. The best coach he's ever had including his time in Miami was either David blatt or Mike brown
. Bird had KC jones, magic and Kareem had Riley. Wade had Riley. Shaq had Phil and Riley. Kobe had Phil. The bad boys had chuck Daly. Mike and Scotty had Phil. Timmy and the admiral had pop. Kerr is showing himself to have a brilliant staff and be a great coach himself. The only other comparison is Kevin Durant and Russ being saddled with Scott Brooks

The problem is the Spurs are not going to consistently put there best lineup on the floor...so it is going to be next to impossible to gameplan for them. LMA has been completely destroying small ball lineups the last two weeks...but Pop rarely plays him when teams go small, he still sticks mainly with Diaw and West...because he knows if he puts Aldridge out there over and over and over again come playoffs teams are going to have a ton of film for it...
Maybe for the Warriors since they play that deathball lineup a lot...but the spurs...nah...you start trying to get tape on them and you going to see a lot of stuff from a d league guy and a 3rd string center who caresses men while he dunks on them...both these dudes might not play 20 minutes in the playoffs...though they should...

How are they going to be accustomed to running their sets against a quality defense like the warriors/Spurs if they're playing isoball the entire season leading up to those teams
You can practice it on off days all you want. If theyre not showing the capability of running a fluid offense now, there's no switch that's gonna make them do that when the games really matter because the trust won't be there

None of those great coaches are going to agree to coach Lebron if he's expecting to have those GM powers, of course Lebron isn't an official GM but every move made has to be approved by Lebron , like u said he had the chance to go to a team with a great coach but he didn't so it's kinda lame to use coaching as an excuse.
They could have won more than 2 chips in Miami with spoelstra and omgggg spoelstra would have been the best thing ever but Lebron choked against Dallas so that never happened

It's not a legit gripe. There's no such thing as a Legendary coach before he becomes a legend. He usually becomes a legend by having Legendary players. If no coach can win with LeBron, LeBron is the problem.
Spo already got Bron to play to his potential, he's never come close in his time with the Cavs.
The Heat won what they won, I'm no longer playing ifs with that team.
As a heat fan, you never wondered how different the team would've been had riles been coaching from day 1?

i've read it at a few places that Bron looks to Lue more when it comes to stuff and disregards Blatt.
It's not like they actually listen to Blatt, the problem is they have the pieces to make his offense work but Bron has to play the iso-ball bullshyt. Meanwhile Blatts sets will work if you run them with the talent they have -
They use almost no misdirections in the Cavs set, it's all LeBron + Kyrie high pick and roll, that shyt will not work against the Spurs or Warriors and LeBron seems too stubbon to realize it. If they bring in another coach it'll just be more 1-4 sets where people stand around waiting on LeBron.
