W/e. Im confident in LBJ and trust that he will bring a championship to this city like he promised. Everything else is just noise as far as im concerned.

I feel the same baring some career changing injury to either love, Lebron or Irving.

In saying that history shows even if you just go back 40 years. That there have been upcoming assistants who took over for coaches who have won....and took those teams to a championship.

From Billy Cunningham to Phil Jackson to Rudy T to KC Jones and etc. In this internet age jokers don't read or know history they just guess and run off the mouth. So you are right you have to ignore the background noise.

If you want the real deal on things...wait till about a month or two has passed and assess things then

Articles that come out after big events always contain too much unsourced whispers and allegations......it is hackish and is the sports equivalent of gossip columns

Plus believe it or not sportswriters have agendas.

Half of the people acting shocked and displaying fake outrage over Blatt now have been the ones claiming he was out of his depth in the nba

Calm down and let the rest of the season play out

If KD goes to DC we still kick the shyt out of them.

Who is to say that KD doesn't sign a two year deal with OKC with the second year being a player option (would align with Westbrook's contract. Then KD opts out after the first year forces a sign and trade for Love to Cleveland.....then Lebron moves to the 4 spot.....:troll::lolbron:

I'm not happy with the firing because we know Bron ball doesn't work. Blatt came from Europe with some damn good offense sets which we saw work to perfection whenever Bron wasn't in the game.

We get rid of Blatt who had years to perfect the same style of play that both the Warriors and Spurs use and Bron rejected it. His inability to see things objectively may have doomed his homecoming. I'm still a Cavs fan because I've seen far worse from this team but damn it's hard to keep rooting for dysfunction and idiocy.

With all that being said I do like the Love, Bron, Shump, Smith, Irving lineup Lue used that's who I run with on 2k.

The firing was basically Griffin telling the team "stop your bytching and moaning and start acting like professionals, you have the coach you want now so no more excuses."

He's putting it on the players more than anyone else to succeed. Can't blame Lue or anyone else but themselves if they fail now.

I like that Lue is forcing them to push the pace and that he attempted to run the three guard line-up of Mo, Delly, Shump off the bench.

It's going to take some time for them to get this back on track.

I just want the off the court bullshyt and political distractions to go away permanently.

I like the faster pace as well. They do look out of shape going into the 4th and last night had a high amount of turnovers trying to play faster. They do run some great sets though with Love at the elbow and LBJ playing sort of the same role that Draymond does. I also like how Lue puts Love in with the 2nd unit with Delly, Shump, JR and Moz (this is great for bench production). He tends to keep 1 of the big 3 on the floor at all times, something that Blatt couldn't really seem to figure out.
