The problem I have with the David Blatt Firing

[Roid Jones]

No.. Its cause if this works..and god.knows it juste might as Cavs still has a decent shot at the title (they have the talent not the chemistry) this could potentially start a trend

It's not a new trend, Magic, Jordan, Kobe etc have all contributed to coaches getting fired so why is there a narrative that Bron is doing something that has never been seen before? People credited Bron with everything to do with the success of the team and labeled Blatt a puppet, so why is there so much consternation that a supposed puppet has been fired?

the nba treats head coaches like toilet paper, nothing new

why the outrage?

because fake outrage and lebron go together like peanut butter and jelly

Like I said in the other thread.....nearly all of the media and nba people were saying blatt was out of his depth in the nba

but now that he is gone suddenly there is outpouring of shock.....

People are talking about the record of Blatt since he coached the cavs.....Newsflash...you can win a lot of games despite bad habits. Classic example last year's Houston Rockets

 

[Black Bolt]

Who caped for Kevin McHale? He made a deeper playoff run than Mark Jackson and was fired 11 games into the season.

Warriors greatly improved under Kerr and became champs. Rockets are not any better than they were under McHale but some posters just can't help themselves and gotta make everything about race.

You didn't answer the question but instead deflected. No one mentioned race beside you.

Not even so sure this is true

Bad coaches get recycled in the nba all the time. They get multiple cracks at head coaching positions, and when they dont they end up in well paid assistant coach roles or even sometimes graduate to GM jobs where they even continue to fukk up more

I was listening to.the radio and a former NBA playersaid that when blatt called that play against Chicago and he had Lebron inbounding the basketball and someone else taking the game winner that he should have been fired on the very next day..

Imagine Phil Jackson telling Jordan to inbound and pass to Scottie for the game winner

See everyone is hung on on the Lebron-Blatt relationship which is somewhat understandable

But from multiple reports....Blatt had issues with a number of people in the Cavs organization

but you got to let the First Take generation have their hot takes cook man.

I dont even like to make a judgement on these things until a couple months have passed and all the rumor mongering settles down.

Blatt will likely get another head coach or assistant job in the nba......and if he doesnt what then does that say about all of these people acting shocked now

Only thing Bron dont got to ever worry about is a devoted stan base ready to for him whereever, whenever.

My dude, I'm pretty sure I've run in to some Marbury stans on here. A lot worse players than LeBron have just as persistent stanbases.

While number 1 in conference? (I'm legit asking)

 

[JLova]

Wait was not blatt the same fukking coach that tired to call a time out in a playoff game when they did not have one?...... If the refs caught that it would have been over ..... But your would still find a way to blame bron for that
..... You guys not fooling no one ..... So let's get this straight you wanted lebron to have his last years at this peak to be given to a coach that don't know how many time out he has left in a playoff game?

Dog, he got fired while coaching a team to almost winning an NBA Final while decimated with injuries. Then follows it up by Cavs having one of the best records in the league. You don't have to like him. He could be completely incompetent but that is a head-scratching move no matter the sport. Not only is it hard to defend but it sets the expectations SKY HIGH for the next coach and the management will look dumb if the Cavs can't win a Chip this year. The bar and standard has been set.

Did Blatt trade for all them scrubs too?

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

I just look forward to all the creative excuses you LeBron supporters will come up with when the Cavs get gunned up and clapped quick again in the Finals (assuming they get there)

No your missing the point all of a sudden he a all worked coach when he been fukking up ..... Lebron is the reason why they have a good record ..... And you know that was there not reports of bron running the offense and defense? And lue drawing up the plays? Because blatt did not understand the way NBA works

 

[Ziggiy]

Did any coaches cape like this for Mark Jackson when he was relieved of his duties in Golden State?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Blatt didn't sign up to coach Lebron. People forget he was hired to coach a young team with Kyrie and Wiggins.

Then Lebron came in immediately undermining the offensive system Blatt wanted to establish.

Blatt was screwed from the jump. His system is is based on movement. Ball in constant movement with players in constant motion. Good luck doing that with LeShames on your squad

Blatt did the best he could in that situation. Y'all think Lue is gonna do better than winning 2 games vs the Warriors in the finals? Nah they gonna get swept
