so 7-0 since since yoga?
Great presser tonight.
He clearly held back tears when he was talking about it. His eyes watered and he choked up a little.
It was awesome.
Let's not forget that, at least the way I read the situation, Blatt was literally one game away from being fired. Had we lost that game to the Lakers early in the season, I think there was a really, really good chance he was getting the ax. Just pretty interesting to think about how quickly fortunes can change.
I really don't think they would've fired him. At the very least they would've given him several more weeks to make the new pieces work. If they had continued to lose at the same rate they did with LeBron out and before the trades, then yes, Blatt's job would've been in danger. But that wasn't gonna happen, because a healthy LeBron is too good and the trades were a huge upgrade to the roster. And in any case, despite the ignorant media insisting on the "rookie coach" narrative, Griffin knows what Blatt has done before coming here and knows how good he is. Besides, who would he hire to replace Blatt? Mark Jackson?...

Ty Lue. That's where that whole thing was headed.
