On one hand, I feel like we're having an elongated version of Miami first 20 games in 2011 and the ship can absolutely be righted in a way that results in wild success for everyone.
On the other, when it comes down to it, it's about the players. This is not a young losing team that gets a new coach who has full authority over them and can yield the hammer when needed.
This is one true superstar and two "should be" superstars/"think they're" superstars who more or less are going to decide whether they let a coach actually run the show.
So if LeBron(especially) and Love/Kyrie are already "over it" and "mind made up" with Blatt in a negative way, than f**K it, might as well just get the inevitable out of the way.
But if they are just frustrated and trying to figure things out in general, neither being 100% behind the coach or 100% against the coach, than I still lean towards to side of giving this full roster 10-15 games to get their sh*t together(and that include Blatt) before making a change.
But its really all on the players in terms of how they feel about the coach and while we all see the games and play amateur psychologist with effort, expressions, etc. do we truly know how they feel?
I also might add that these players have never won, they've basically played for stats.
Their attitude at times dismays me as I don't see any of the Cavs take a hard foul or even a charge anymore.
It may be more internal then we think..but I would think this team has lost so much they don't know how to step up their game.
Now I'm wondering the same thing you are, is this just that these guys don't know how to play together, or is it Blatt?
And lets say they do let him go, who else is going to come in and suddenly have these guys balling?
