Whispers about the lack of attention that various Cavs players are paying to Blatt during some timeout huddles, as well as their apparent preference to communicate with Cavs assistant and former NBA player Tyronn Lue, have been in circulation for weeks. And James acknowledged recently that he did not formally request permission to assume the bulk of the Cavs' playmaking duties, which triggered Cleveland's eight-game winning streak earlier this month.

"No, I can do it on my own," James said of his role change. "I'm past those days where I have to ask."
:mjpls:

The article I posted about Bron preferring to talk to Lue and the vine with Bron blocking Blatt out the huddle during a timeout are from November.

How was Blatt supposed to succeed?

He doesn't talk to the coach, undermines the coach by not only going straight to the assistant to handle shyt, but will also box him out of his own huddle and admits to going against the gameplan, doesn't give full effort....

This dude is supposed to be the leader, that's what he said in his letter, how are the young guys supposed to act if the leader is doing shyt like this.

James has yet to fall in line behind Blatt, lodging no complaint but making no move to embrace him. A month after announcing he’d go home, Bron hadn’t sat down with his new coach. That’s a long time for someone like James who lives 30 minutes from the team’s practice facility.

Unrest is in the air. At the end of a game in New York where Blatt called time out as Irving set up a last play, Kyrie pitched a fit on the floor

As to who’s in charge, that’s easy: James. Frustrated at their problem moving the ball with Irving at the point, Bron simply grabbed the ball and took over without informing Irving or Blatt.

Putting the maraschino cherry atop the sundae of dysfunction, James acknowledged having done it. Asked if he ran it past Blatt, LeBron said, “Nah, I can do it on my own. I’m past those days where I have to ask.

That's what happens when you get an Israeli league coach to run an NBA squad. No one is going to respect you. Look at Mark Trestman.
