In a stunning move, the Cavs have fired David Blatt after a 30-11 start to the season. Blatt has been lauded as one of the best young coaches in the game, and he was at the helm last year when the Cavs were 2 wins away from their first ever NBA Championship. All that I can say is wow. I don't think anyone expected this whatsoever. Just go to Twitter and look at some of the top NBA writers like Zach Lowe for context and reaction. Just unreal

This is stupid. He's a good coach, not his fault Klove and Irving suck at defense. This isn't gonna make the Warriors or Spurs any less great. LeBron better not be demanding Mark Jackson

Only way this makes sense is if they hire Thibs. But apparently they signed Lue to a multi year deal?

LeBron was demanding Lue. That's why it was done

Title should read "LeBron James Fires David Blatt". Not going to lie, I'm seriously considering changing it.

I was under the impression that LeBron James was the one who was head coach of the Cavs this entire time

I think Thibs is too intense for the personalities on the Cavs. It would be comedic to watch a team coached by Thibs to trout out JR Smith and Kevin Love. Lebron probably isn't a huge fan either.

That would have added a pretty cool story line to the likely Finals matchup if the Cavs hired Mark Jackson.

Lue is a better fit for the Cavs anyway

??? He's literally never been a head coach. Unless you mean in a sense that the players like him more which doesn't help if he can't coach
