First of all thank you for the thorough answer and for explaining your point of view of things, but I see it differently.
K... let's go through them...
1. This team's roster was majorly flawed - No real bigs, no real defensive minded players, and lot's of players who are here not because of their skills but their relationship with Lebron (or as cards for future trades).
Ehh.. I can't really agree with this.
Offensively we are arguably the most talented team in the league, and many people have said this already.
LeBron, Irving, Love should have no problem scoring points in bucket loads and in the offseason every sports commentator said this - it isn't controversial.
The problem has been we've had no system whatsoever.
Remember all the talk of weaves and multiple screens and PnR/PnP play? We've seen none of that. Simply put, we don't have an offense. That's 100% on Coach Blatt because we're not talking about 1 game, we're talking about almost half a season.
Regarding the bigs, well, I think that's unfair. PF is a "big." Love, Varejao, Thompson are all above average power forwards in their own respect. Thompson is an above average offensive rebounder, energy big off the bench who plays decent defense. He has been playing fairly well.
Kevin Love came into this team as the "best PF in the NBA." What happened to that? I don't think Kevin Love forgot how to ball. What changed is the system in which he plays.
Now regarding a true center; well, Atlanta is the best team in the East and they'd be the first to admit they don't have a true center. The Heat have won 2 of the last 4 championships and they've never had an effective true center.
I'm not devaluing the importance of a center; but, simply not having one is no excuse for how poor not only our defense has been but how poor our offense has been as well.
In essence, your first criteria just doesn't support the conclusion that the Cavaliers system is underperforming compared to other teams with similar or worse rosters.
2. Lebron is the best player in the world and don't get me wrong I really do likes him but the whole "Chill mode" fiasco was so hurting building chemistry. It was such a bad example for the younger players and sometimes it was embarrassing watching his defensive effort.
Oracio, with all due respect, you're really reaching here. It's pure speculation to speak to the mental state of the younger players. We don't know what's going on in the locker room or in the heads of the players.
What we can say is that Blatt is responsible for the team's performance and things like this do not speak to his ability to run the team.
3. Regarding the whole stats you mentioned and the whole comparison to last year. Since Andy's injury the roster is just a huge roller-coaster, James out, Kyrie out, Marion out. and add to this the flawed roster and you have the mixture of old players and rookies playing together - not a good kick-start for any coach.
It's his job to make the best with what he has. Even with everything you've stated here, he has more often than not fielded the better team on the floor yet lost games.
I'm just not understanding why you think the buck doesn't stop with Blatt?
4. Kevin Love is also in new environment he is not used to, of course it's also Blatt's fault that the players don't pass him enough
So when is Blatt going to get him more shots? I mean who is coaching this team?
but the guy seems to make the Houdini act too often and he doesn't asks for the ball he just runs to the post and disappear...
Love is a known commodity. We know what he's capable of. We're blaming him for not getting the ball? He plays PF the coach has to instruct the players to run the ball through him.
This is in no way Kevin Love's fault. It's Blatt's.
I can continue typing but I'm sure this all gonna change the following weeks with the new roster and with a refreshed Labron, and the learning that all of these guys had in this tough period...
See that's the problem; I'm not sure this is going to change. We've been underperforming the entire season so far and Andy isn't coming back.
If things don't change by the All-Star break, would you agree that Blatt should be dismissed and the Cavaliers should use the break to install a new coach and a new system?
