Kerr wasn't COY. Blast is demolishing the COY
My bad, but not winning COY never gonna make Blatt cry.

Budenholzer looks like somebody just ran over his dog.
On a side note joe vardon is insufferable

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.
They took down the mutiny attempt and stood firm behind Blatt. Thank goodness for that.
I can't believe the run we're on. It's amazing.
Guys -- there was no 'mutiny attempt', can we retire that narrative?

The key to everything was the Griffin trade. It was always a personnel issue, not an issue of either coaching or tension between players and coaches.
