Yup. What I meant by swing and a miss.
Longabardi is Lue's man...why people think he was Griff's because he coached in Phoenix while he wasn't there is besides me.
People are also missing that he was Doc's defensive coordinator in Boston after Thib's left for 5 seasons, quite a few of those years leading them to the #1 defense in the league...he didn't cut his teeth running defenses in Phoenix.
Still believe we just straight up don't have the personnel to run his base defense. Only time we had the right group was when we had Timo. His entire defense, which it was in Boston, is all about being flexible with PnR coverages, and running guys off the 3 point line and into your rim protector.
Just, we don't have a KG, or a prime Kendrick Perkins, or even Timo back there to a) make those PnR coverage calls, or b) protect the rim at a high level.
Definition of a scapegoat right now, because if he's fired, nothing will change, unless firing him changes who plays for the Cavs.
