David Blatt is a former NBA coach

[priceFTW]

Wow, just wow--what a performance. The best part was right before the tip, Blatt, LeBron and the rest looked so damn confident as if they EXPECTED to win.

Our starting lineup of Delly/Shump/James/TT/Moz was +45 per 100 possessions this regular season, the best 5 man unit the NBA that played at least 40 minutes. This lineup has shut every team it has played down and did so again tonight. What's more impressive, this lineup makes 11 more three pointers than its opponents over 100 possessions (the Delly/Shump/JR/James/TT is making 14 more three pointers per 100 possessions). It shuts down opponents' threes and makes open threes, the key to modern basketball.

Our playoff lineup of Delly/Shump/Smith/LeBron/TT is +43 per 100 possessions this post season and did well again.

I loved how Blatt developed these defensive lineups in the regular season; these lineups began second quarters and almost always either extended leads or gave us leads, and to me, Blatt seemed to relish coaching these lineups the most.

Just fantastic. It helps to have one of the handful of greatest players ever, but Blatt has completely out-coached Bud, and I hope he gets the recognition he so richly deserves.

Just take it David, as a gift from us.

Look, it's time to give credit where credit is due.

This team is playing phenomenal defense. Best in the league defense.

Infinite props to David Blatt.. Seriously, the guy has won me over with what he's doing with the Cavaliers.

BUT ITS ALL LUE

David. You da real CoY.

But Kerr is never going to give it up.

Blatt is abusing Atlanta's staff. They know everything Atlanta is doing and is taking everything away.

I'm Sure Lloyd and the rest of Cleveland's worthless sports press will want him fired tomorrow though.

 

[enigmatic]

Don't want to hear anymore about how Cavs are winning in spite of Blatt, or that Blatt isn't much of a factor in them winning. This team is steamrolling the Hawks w/o Love and a hobbled Kyrie. Delly can't make a shot this series. But the defensive rotations have been impeccable and Blatt has masterfully got these guys believeing they can win no matter what.

Wow. Just a totally dominating performance tonight.

For sure. Anyone other than Blatt can have it. CoY has a dumb curse anyway.

Can you blame him? Blatt was such a MEANY to poor Jason...

 

[Mr. Orange]

Blatt...when he takes down media darlings Stevens, Thibs, and Bud, will he get any respect? No? Ok then Kerr is next.

That said, Blatt never gonna let you down.

Does @Rick Astley see what you did there in your last two posts. Because I see what you did there. Does he see what you did there?...

Great post game presser from Blatt.
Didn't gloat or anything. Gave all the credits to the players, and even credited the preparation to the 'staff'.

I dont think he is never going to run around and desert you.

Kerr wasn't COY. Blatt is demolishing the COY
