Woj: Cavs fire David Blatt

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That would be funny if it was true.

LeBron leaving was of course a set back, but nowhere near fatal for a team like the Heat.
Bottom line is when he left the Heats ring count was at 3, his at 2.
When I woke up today, that hasn't changed.
Had he stayed, we woukd have just lost to the Warriors instead of you.
Same thing will probably be said after this season.
The last place I'd want to be as a Heat fan is stuck with the same amount of titles and be staring at the reality of giving a 34 year old James a super max contract that we all know the ending to before it begins.

guess that's why the threat of him team jumping is gonna be out there for the rest of what remains of his career. course I guess in a way I can't blame him...

Kobe fg 35%

Has kobe ever had a season at 50%?

No, because he's primarily a jumpshooter. Not primarily a low post player like LeBronda.












But, who will go down in a history as the more dangerous scorer? Kobe.

@Smart; If you didn't like that post then you're gonna HATE post #436.

don't bring up the ring count. it'll devastate him...

maybe he should just run along...like he did when the Warriors beat LeClown and his boys like they stole something...

And rings are overrated in the "Land" so what's the point?

damn, you got me there. what was I thinking...?

titles only mean something to NON homeristic fans...

sometimes this NBA forum on the hoop - speaking collectively - becomes a giant circle jerk against Cleveland. Probably because the most active members happen to be heat and Lakers fans.

The amusing thing is watching you all agree with each other like you've all got it figured out and represent the general consensus... when in fact the collective thoughts of this forum differ wildly from every other nba forum you can find.

well, way I see it is that most of us are respectful of posters who don't wanna cram their outright trash talk and homer POV down everyone's throats. imo they(the trash talkers) deserve to get kicked around a little...

you aren't against us having our fun now, are you...?

 

[gordontrue]

There is a huge difference between having the power to do something and exercising that power.

No doubt LeBron holds a ton of power in the cavs organization. Did he chose to use any of that power today? We. Don't. Know.

We do know that he didn't exercise his power to Stop the firing... so it's probably fair to conclude that LeBron wasn't strongly opposed to the decision.

But that still leaves a wide array of possible involvement all the way from "get this guy out now!!" To "I'm not getting involved. Do your job, I'll do mine"... and everything in between.

No I agree, I didn't mean for that to come off as a complaint or whining.

I mean I stick around, so it's clearly not a problem for me, and I have no issues with particular posters.

Just making an observation.

Well actually the consensus was the same @ the FN sports forum most of us came from. But that's neither here or there & I hear ya. LOL

I hope you know it's nothing personal against you. I actually enjoy the conversations you & I have here. You're one of the sensible Cavs fans around. But those other two (I think you know who I'm talking about) have ruined it for you here. With all the books that are posted about how LBJ & the Cavs are this & that (enter any type of adjective that represents boasting & bragging) combined with all the crazy things happening with that team lately makes it easy to bag on them.

I wish there were a way to shield you from it. But, unfortunately there just isn't.

I might be able to digest this had we not saw (on national TV) the disconnect & frustration between him & Blatt.

God u are dumb

Resorting to personal insults?

 

[DJ Fieri]

A sure sign jimmies are rustled!!!

 

[bksballer89]

Pretty unprofessional way to handle a press conference by the Cavs GM.

Cavs GM didn't hold back criticism of David Blatt in press conference

I hear you. I think that post might have come off more harsh than I intended. I definitely enjoy my interactions here. Disagreeing on things is what makes it interesting.

You do make a good point. Probably the biggest reason for this dynamic on this forum is some of the cavs posters. ):
