Cavs’ Lue clinches All-Star spot after just 3 games

He is eligible to coach because Cleveland sports the conference’s best record.

One of the impetuses for Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin deciding to fire Blatt and elevate Lue to the head-coaching position was the disconnected nature of the locker room, where players did not seem to enjoy the usual thrill that comes with winning a game. But Blatt is finished (right or wrong).

The Cavs scored the first 12 points of the third quarter to blow the game open.

“I’m pleased any time our organization gets any acknowledgement, from a player, from ownership, from a GM, to coaching staff, to training staff, to our fans, so on, so on”, James said.

The biggest problem is the Eastern Conference.

As Irving continues to reacclimate himself after a knee injury, the Cavs’ star trio is together and fully healthy for the first time in months. They could not vote for anyone on their team. Not only is his team a close second at 30-15, but the All-Star Game is being played in Toronto. Eight of the team’s top 11 lineups in offensive rating (points per 100 possessions, at least 35 minutes played on the floor) included James, Irving and Love. “Anyone who has anything to do with this organization, anytime we get some notoriety like that, we are grateful for it, and we are all excited about it”.

The Cavaliers are 2-1 since Lue took over.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers continuing to embrace a new advanced offensive flow over the air, it surely helps to get other mediocre National Basketball Association franchises in the house.

According to National Basketball Association rules, the head coach of the team with the best record in its conference two weeks before the All-Star Game is named coach of that conference’s All-Star team.
