What's been inaccurate?

A week before the Decision, Woj claimed it was down to Cleveland and Chicago, with New Jersey the dark horse.

Four days before the Decision, Woj basically claimed that Lebron had never intended to leave Cleveland at all.

Two months before the Decison, Woj posted that Lebron was really enthusiastic about the free-agency discernment process, but then after the Decision was made Woj wrote a long article about how there was no discernment process and Lebron was locked into Miami the whole time. Somehow he had figured that out just a week after this article where he said the exact opposite.

After game 5 of the 2012 Boston series, Woj claimed that Lebron was crushed and the series was over.

Five months before Lebron went back.to Cleveland, Woj claimed that Lebron was never coming back.


And those are just the things that are obviously, verifiably inaccurate. But 99% of what Woj writes about Lebron is just opinionated personal attacks about Lebron that are based on anonymous sources, with the same stories somehow never, ever coming out via anyone else.

It's not just Lebron that he has a personal issue with. He hates JR Smith too and has written ridiculously brutal articles about him, he loves Joe Dumars as a GM and has written one glowing article about him after another, he hates John Hollinger and slanders him whenever he can, he's ripped Coach K something ridiculous and been completely wrong, etc.



Everything. He's wrong all the time about LeBron and then goes and writes about how he knew this or knew that or it was obvious that he was going to do something in future columns. He's never even close to on target and it's where much of his LeBron hate stems from.

Exactly.



Everything has seemed fairly accurate. I think its obvious Lebron's biggest issue with Blatt was that he wasnt Clutch sports or whatever....money makes the world go round.

Your theory fails when you realize that they replaced Blatt with a guy who also isn't in Clutch Sports.

Woj is still the most reliable source, I am not trusting anything about Bron coming from a Cleveland source. The Mark Jackson signing with lebrons agency and being the head coach for them seems pretty realistic. :yeshrug:

Someone else mentioned it the other day, but in retrospect, Mark Jackson saying on national tv the other day that Steph was bad for the game seems so suspect now.....like he was trying to downplay Steph's time in LeBron's spotlight...

Could just be coincidence, but nah, that sh*t was calculated.....MJax is like that.....

Come on breh we've been through this already. Mark Jackson said that in a tongue-in-cheek matter and was actually giving major props to Steph'.

In the surprise move of the season so far, the Cleveland Cavaliers fired head coach David Blatt even though his team was first in the conference and ranked among the elite on offense and defense. While many point to their inability to rise to the level of the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors, it's important to look at why they couldn't, and who was responsible.

Why go from one rookie HC to another?


This.
If you wanted a rookie head coach, kevin Ollie was the only unknown inexperienced NBA coaching pick.
Past that, the coach should have been mark Jackson.
All because Jackson has the only interest to study and also committ to the narrative of golden state.
Yeah, you would have to deal with the religion.
Yet, that edge could be used to focus and galvanize the unit after getting destroyed in the finals by Gs.
So, in that regard the religion being overprocessed could have been a plus.

Wonder when Tyron Lue's lineup choices for that Bulls game will get criticized
