Cleveland Cavaliers Fire Head Coach David Blatt

Yeah it's official, Warriors dominance of the brains of LeBron and the entire Cleveland Cavaliers organization has reached a new high.  It was one thing when they had LeBron staying up all night trying to think of a comeback to Curry saying he hopes Cleveland's locker room still smells like champaign, or when LeBron threw Steph, or when LeBron had the ultimate look of dismay when he saw it was Steph who ripped him all on Monday.  Or when LeBron was freaking out about his team being 8-3 when the Warriors were undefeated and steamrolling everyone.  It has now gotten so bad that LeBron has decided Blatt's time is done and Tyrone Lue has been named new head coach.  Is this because Lue as an even smaller voice against LeBron's?  I mean Blatt had no say when LeBron wanted something on or off the floor.  For god's sake LeBron made his own substitutions in the Finals, did whatever he wanted on the court this year, and during the Bulls series last spring he scrapped Blatt's play and said just get him the ball I mean hit the game winner because of it but still.  When you're the most gifted player of all time and you have only 2 rings, and are 2-4 in the Finals, maybe you should focus more on just playing and not coaching and being gm.  Remember he demanded all the guys from last year get paid, no matter how much, so he's stuck with this team.  A team I don't think will actually win the title, unless the Warriors, Spurs, and Thunder are all hit with major injuries to like Steph, KD, and Leonard.  The Cavs are chasing their own tail trying to figure something out and I don't think it's good at all for the team.  Cleveland I really do want you guys to win a title, but I'd start putting stock in the Indians or Browns (ok maybe not the Browns) before the Cavs.  They have all this talent and they keep going backwards.  Also this is a brutal break for David Blatt.  He's a good coach, but last year coming in and you get LeBron who decided he was going to run the show is rough, then you get fired because of it?  I think he should be given another chance, but if not he's like the greatest coach of all time in Russia, so he always has the chance to go back and coach commies in the cold.

RIP Blatt's dignity.
