WOJ: How David Blatt never stood a chance with LeBron James and his camp

[jlip]

Duh...

I didn't read the article, but considering Blatt was not brought in to coach a championship or bust team, but to coach a rebuilding team with young players who possibly saw a successful season as merely a .500 record, it's not surprising he never stood a chance. Lebron coming back to Cleveland changed the entire mission of the franchise from "getting better" to "win now", and a coach who had no NBA experience of any sort was not hired to fulfill that mission.

[Euroleague]

Wojna whatever the hell is name is made up a bunch of pure bullshit lies about how Blatt was this incredible coach in Euroleague (when he was pretty much average there), and now this same clown is just trying to cover his ass.

Because he got totally outed for the hack that he is, along with guys like Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst.

[Euroleague]

FIBA Rules.

He cannot even fully integrated Love in their offense once Irving returned from his injuries.

He failed to solve the Warriors Pick and Roll offense, And they got destroyed Last week.

Blatt's coaching style has absolutely zero to due with basketball you moron.

Blatt = 100% pure NBA style basketball coaching and he has always been that way.

He's an American you moron.

The Spurs on the other hand, run an 100% pure FIBA style of basketball and have won numerous championships that way.

Blatt's style and/or ability as a coach has nothing to do with "FIBA rules". Good god there are so many idiots in this forum.

They had the 3rd best record in the league, #1 in their conference. On pace to having 3 rounds with homecourt.

They had what they needed to "win now", it's not like they were a 3rd or 4th seed.

Comparing Blatt's offense pre-NBA to post-Euroleague would show two complete offensive styles.

Lebron killed the man, him and the entire Cavalier team are full of undisciplined players who don't gel together when the pressure is at his highest.

[DMAVS41]

Love WOJ...and he may be accurate here, but he hates Lebron with a passion...so you have to take everything he has to say with a grain of salt.

No doubt Blatt got screwed...I hope the Cavs get upset in the East...it would be priceless.

[Fallen Angel]

Blatt shouldn't be blackballed for dumbing down his system of offense for Lebron & Kyrie isos.

Another team in development will give him a chance, probably the Brooklyn Nets.

[Fallen Angel]

Coaching Lebron doesn't take elite offensive schemes, it takes someone who knows how to manage rotations and push his team to play defense. A High School coach could take over the Cavaliers and wouldn't notice a difference with their play.

Lebron needs a better supporting cast around him that can play similar defense as the Miami Heatles, while giving great spacing for Lebron to operate. Lebron also needs to be accountable that this is his system of offense and if his team isn't scoring 90 pts a game it's on him and his inefficiencies as a scorer and distributor, and his defense has been lackluster against the great teams. The scrutiny should be placed on Lebron and his disappointing play, coaching, and GM skills.

There's a lot of details in that article I.e. names, times, places. Somebody is talking. If they are lies then we will know soon enough. Klutch Sports should be gearing up for some defamation action. You can't just slander the King and his court like that.

Pretty much sums up what you're talking about.

Turns out I was right, he made up that spo story as confimed by Pat Riley and chances are good that he made up the rest also.

Everybody knows Woj has somebody on the inside that can give him first hand information regarding official changes in the league. Other than that, his stories are always way off.

If its something official like trade, coaching change or something that the league has to announce then he's as good as it gets. When it comes to speculation then he's on the same level as Chris Broussard.

Good god there are so many idiots in this forum.

An idiot calling others idiots.

[guy]

He may have not explicitly requested a coach get fired, but its pretty clear that he's disrespected/undermined multiple coaches and has been a difficult player to coach. That's something Woj, his biggest hater in the media, and even Windhorst, his biggest fan in the media, seem to agree on.
