I'm just shocked and a bit confused as to why Blatt was let go today. The Cavaliers are first in the division and well over .500...what's the deal? Yes, the writing was on the wall when he'd look to Lue for play calling (as previously mentioned).
Now with Lue's multi-year deal...this better have an opt-out after 1 year..in case this decision went to shit. It's a trend in baseball right now, why not in basketball?
Cavs record against the Spurs and Warriors: 4-9.
One of those wins was the ridiculous Kyrie game.
When you're trying to win a title, it can't be OK to get slapped around by your main competition.
The overall record means a lot less to me. I would guess this team could play without a coach and compile a similar record, based solely on having more talent than 95% of the teams in the league.
All Lue truly needs to do is better integrate Love on offense and make small changes to strategy on defense. It seems like he just needs to slightly tinker and they'll be way better off. Maybe a different voice in the huddle will get guys to buy in because the collective body language under Blatt was awful.
