As small as it seems, that bit of camaradarie with Lebron and Blatt is huge, even if it was awkward, because Lebron initiated it from what I saw.

Four more w's, and all the haters can suck it Blatt. They can to a degree spin it right now with blah blah weak East, but even a competitive series silences them all. Four w's and the hazing is completely over.

You're in select company at that point. 8 coaches have won the last 20 titles, with only Carlisle and Spo not being legends.

Carlisle is incredibly well-regarded and would have choice of most open jobs, and Spo had the complement of all 3 of his stars.

To do it with 1.5 of your big 3 under intense media scrutiny, you have your own huge leverage at that point. And Lebron while loving control, isn't stupid. Far from it. Winning is his first goal, so 4 more W's, and a loaded returning roster sets the stage for Lebron choosing to exert leverage on TT contract and other roster moves, but would get him away from any coaching transition thoughts imo. He picks his battles, if he'd even want one, which I doubt. If it isn't broke, he won't try to fix it.

4 more W's, and the "rookie" gets the last laugh. And Lebron gets the last laugh on Miami and Riley and all their nonsense. Everyone is thrilled, and they'll get the high-fives worked out perfectly by the parade.

If this doesn't make you feel more for Blatt, I don't know what will. All the respect in the world.

Dude. Anyone else notice Joe Haden's badass chain?

I have no idea who that is but what I do know is if I can sell that, I can buy 10 mansions in the most prime lots in a 3rd world country such as mine. Wow.

He is a star cornerback for the Cleveland Browns. He has always been a huge supporter of the Cavs and even dressed up as Baron Davis during one of our tanking years.

If anyone deserves to have thirty pounds of gold hanging from their neck, its that guy.
 
We were destroying them on the boards that whole game, yet Blatt was still really emphasizing boxing out and rebounding in every huddle. Bud didn't mention it at all in those clips.

And yeah, it obviously was just a few out if many huddles, but the contrast was evident.

The last Bud huddle was great "err guys we err just need to play....for each other?" Must have been excruciating to get blown out like that

At least he has a semblance of composure. If I was him, I'd be blaming everyone or just cry out of anger and call everyone's mom a jellyfish(?).
 
It's been a good series for Blatt and last night's game was the best of the 4. He did all the right stuff. Seemed like a nearly flawlessly coached game. The screw ups from the CHI series seem like ancient history now. Bring on the west!!
