Mark Jackson gets hired, meets with the team, and starts off his speech to them with:

Let me tell you guys about another King James

Dat chill mode shyt was def a poor choice of expression but then again anything da nikka says people will find some way to take it n turn it into somethin overwhelmingly negative. Dat shyt's whateva tho.
That may be so, but in those dramatizations lies a lot of truths. He's careless with the ball and lackadaisical when he isn't anywhere near it. And you can't be blind to the fact that past the team's personnel issues, he's one of, if not the main reason why they're playing inconsistent.
But da way nikkas are goin about it on dis mufukka you'd think he was da worst thing to eva happen to dat fukkin franchise. :heh:
There's a domino effect that's led to all this hoopla, and those first tiles have Bron's named written on them - on and off the court.

And you say shyt now about him fallin back n lettin his team cook...if he really chose to do dat, you can honestly sit hea n say dey'd be betta off? Wit no center and an injury prone Kyrie? :usure:
Here's the thing - the way he's playing right now, he's not doing himself nor his team any favors. Something has to change, it's quite clear that he can't shoulder the load like he did in 2009 again. His play is doing more harm than good. He'd be better off taking a step back, and allowing Blatt to actually coach and have everybody else have more of a role in the offense. The reason why nobody on the team can develop any consistent rhythm and understanding of the offense is because Bron is out there doing his own thing. And this is all with them still being a top 5 offense, so for Bron's struggles and inconsistencies, the team obviously isn't that incompetent offensively that they aren't incapable of picking up the slack with Bron cutting down his usage/minutes.

Plus like it's been said a million times, a legit rim protector would make a world of difference.

And nobody but him n his inner circle know da true reasons for him going back Cleveland. Anything else is pure speculation. :yeshrug:

I think most have a fair understanding of why he went back to Cleveland.
Dat squad hasn't sniffed da fukkin playoffs in 4 years n some change. And has an opportunity to do so now. Still gotta bunch of ball left to play and nikkas ready to blow dat mufukka up n blame it all on Bron...as usual. :laugh:
When will you dudes stop saying this bullshyt? It's getting tiresome at this point.

of course this thread would devolve into talks about the khazars :russ:

Blatt is certified as a coach despite no NBA coaching experience. in fact..He may have been the most certified coach without NBA coaching experience in the world (Messina was comparable i suppose, hes now on the spurs staff). Not only was he decorated and accomplished at many different spots..but he was a captain under Carril and fully co-signed by him. Carril is in the HOF, was the inventor of the Princeton offense (he was coach at Princeton for the lesser educated), and was a top assistant for the kings during their run with webber (96-2006). How did that offense work in Sacto? Half you people here shytting on Blatt would probably admit that that Kings offense was one of the most entertaining and prolific offensive systems in a long time...and Carril installed it there. People who think Blatt wasnt a legitimate candidate aren't very knowledgeable on the history of basketball.
Yeah, I've near given up defending his ability as a coach. At this rate, both parties would be better off parting ways. Bron can have his doormat coach and Blatt can go to a team that has youth and potential stars.

A ton of people said the same thing about Spolestra....and he's still there.

The difference with Blatt - and several people mentioned it - is that he's not acclimated to the NBA. He's been in Europe and Israel for the last 2 decades and don't know about different NBA players/coaches and strategies.


Dude is WAY over his head and probably knew it from the day that Lebron announced he was going back to Cleveland.

No, the difference is that Spo had the backing of the GM and owner.

When Bron tried that shyt in Miami, Pat came out and went :ufdup:Spo's my boy, he's the coach, he's not going anywhere.

Pat and Mickey weren't gonna let a player come down there and try to run the organization.

Bron has too much power in Cleveland right now for Blatt to get that. There's already been articles posted about how people are afraid to call out Bron because they're afraid he might leave again.

If a guy isn't running your offense, tells the media that they made the change without speaking to the coach because they're "passed that" and can do so because everyone is afraid of hurting his feelings, what's Blatt's supposed to do?

Him being acclimated to the NBA has nothing to do with the roster having severe flaws and Bron straight up saying :pacspit: your gameplan. Dude didn't even meet with him over the summer and prefers to talk to Tyronn Lue, that has nothing to do with Blatt being in Europe.

Lol Breh, he's da one of, if not da main reason dat fukkin squad is an above .500 playoff bound team in da first place. By him goin back n attractin otha pieces ( Love, Marion, etc.) to help. I'm not goin to completely write his contributions off based on a couple of sloppy games. For every one of those type of games he has 7 dat are da complete opposite.

There's a domino effect that's led to all this hoopla, and those first tiles have Bron's named written on them - on and off the court.

Tiles or Titles? :why:

Agree bout da rim protector. Disagree wit most else of what was said.

Then why do folks continue to create thier narratives? Thus makin da agendas dat much more transparent?

When will you dudes stop saying this bullshyt? It's getting tiresome at this point.

When you dudes stop blamin him for err single fukkin prollem an organization/team has. Dat shyt gets equally as tiresome.

I specifically said, he's one of the main reasons why the team is playing inconsistent. If you're the leader of the team and handle the ball more than anybody else on it and you play inconsistently, it goes without saying that so will the team..... more often than not. The 1:7 ratio isn't accurate at all, he's had more sloppy games than one out of eight.
Tiles or Titles? :why:
No, tiles. Domino effect = tiles.

What exactly do you disagree with? The fact Bron can't handle an offensive load like he did in 2009 on a regular basis? That he should decrease his usage/minutes in order for him to be more efficient/effective, allowing the other players to build rhythm and confidence? Allowing Blatt to have more control over the offense? That the team isn't that incompetent offensively, when they have two of the most talented players in their respective positions as well as role players that could make up the marginal difference of Bron scaling back his game?

I don't see how any reasonable person could disagree with any of that.
When you dudes stop blamin him for err single fukkin prollem an organization/team has. Dat shyt gets equally as tiresome.
He's not responsible for every single problem, but he's the anti-heroine who's taking up too much screentime in all of this.

Blatt goes to Minnesota or Orlando or Utah or Philly in a couple of years.

Him and Wiggins got along very well.
