DALLAS -- Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, the president of the NBA Coaches Association, expressed shock and disappointment over the Cleveland Cavaliers' firing of David Blatt on Friday.
 
"I'm embarrassed for our league that something like this can happen like this," Carlisle said. "It's just bizarre. ... It just leaves you with a bit of an empty feeling, because Blatt's a great guy, and he did a great job there."
 
Carlisle referred to Blatt as "one of the best coaches in history" based on his success in Europe and international basketball. He praised Blatt for successfully adapting and adjusting to the NBA game after spending his entire career coaching overseas.
 
"Teams have the right to make changes, but David Blatt is going to be a highly sought-after coach this summer if and when there are openings, if he chooses to stay," Carlisle said. "After this, you just hope a guy like this is still open to coaching in the NBA."
 
NBA coaching sources told ESPN's Marc Stein that Blatt is intent on coaching in the league again as opposed to immediately returning to the European game.

The hell is going on. How can a #1 seed be this dysfunctional?

And Cleveland

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Has a team ever won it all switching coaches mid-season like this? And no, the Warriors aren't trying to do the same thing

 

[elcheato]

The Cavs aren't winning it all anyway. If the reports are true that they treated Lue like the head coach already, and he actually did call out the star players when they fucked up, why would anything change now?

Because now lebron could fire him at any moment

 

[elcheato]

If LeBron had total control Mark Jackson would be the coach. If that happens I'll admit you are right, but it won't

This is the worst coaching move in recent memory. At least firing McHale in Houston resulted in a real defensive mind who holds players accountable taking the helm. David Blatt had done a fantastic job so far, and to fire someone who has excelled, not failed, makes absolutely no sense. Cleveland can't beat a healthy GSW or SAS, anyway, and it's not like the East is any cake walk this year, either. Lots of teams that are getting better throughout the season--it looks to me like Indiana is going to be better of with Myles Turner than they would have been with Willie Cauley-Stein, who they slobbered over during last year's draft process. Toronto appears to be much better. Chicago WILL come together under Hoiberg, Atlanta won't be without a key defender come playoff time. We all know how well-coached Boston is, so even if they don't have the star power to win a high profile series, they can certainly make it interesting. Detroit has the most unique Center in the league surrounded by good players and are very well-coached. Cleveland's going to have a hard enough time getting out the East without playing 19-20 games. They'll be in the Finals but it'll be a much harder road, this year.

Cavs will lose two games max in the eastern playoffs

With a rookie head coach and a roster that really doesn't fit together? I don't buy it, but it's certainly possible.
