David Blatt Has Been Fired
Blatt’s top assistant, Tyronn Lue, will to take over as coach.
The coaches whose teams have the best record in each conference following play January 31 will earn the all-star coaching gig for the February 14 game in Toronto.
Growing up a Boston Celtics fan in Framingham, Massachusetts, Blatt played high school basketball and attended Hebrew school at Temple Beth Am.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach David Blatt after reports of rising unrest within the locker room for the last month. James continued to say that he told Blatt, “And I just told coach to just give me the ball and we’re either gonna go into overtime or I’m gonna win it for us”. We would like to thank David Blatt for his work over these past two seasons where the Cavaliers transformed into a playoff team after a rebuilding phase. The Cavaliers stand atop the Eastern Conference at 30-11, but recently came off a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors. It’s not fair and frankly is not fair to me and our group anymore…
“So, today, we are elevating Tyronn Lue, from his role as Associate Head Coach to Head Coach”. “Halfway through the season I think we have the time to right the ship and I know that’s insane with a 30-11 record”. I understand that. Griffin quashed speculation that superstar LeBron James, long thought to be cool on Blatt, had any hand in the move.
“Over the course of my business career, I have learned that sometimes the hardest thing to do is also the right thing to do”, Gilbert said. Blatt leaves the Cavaliers, his first National Basketball Association coaching job, with an 83-40 record. His.
“I don’t know if anyone’s ready for that”, Rivers said.
“Those things are fun, we had two of them in Seattle as a staff, but even back then, didn’t even think about it until, ‘oh, it hit, ‘ and they told us we were coaching in the game”.
Following Thursday night’s win over the Clippers, Blatt, who had defended his team amid recent criticism, shared a moment with James at his corner locker. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Lebron and his agent, Rich Paul, have been wanting Lue to assume the head coaching position since he was hired past year. Lue was named First Team All-Big 12 his junior season after averaging 21.2 points and 4.8 assists.
While Casey remained PR friendly in his response, Rick Carlisle, coach of the Dallas Maverick’s did not. Most accusing fingers would point to LeBron James as the one responsible for Blatt’s head on a silver platter, but Cleveland.com said he was “not consulted”. “It’s just weird. It just leaves you with a bit of an empty feeling”.
