Lebron Fires David Blatt
Carmelo did it before Lebron. He got D’Antoni fired. He claimed his fall guy. Anthony hasn’t won anything before or after.
I called it last year. We all said David Blatt is the scapegoat for a selfish player. Now he’s gone. The next Cavs coach won’t get fired though- because if Lebron loses again this year- and he will, he runs. Look for James to use the acting excuse as a way for him to bolt to the Lakers. He’s no thespian, he wants a big market. The cold water is that the west is way more stacked than the east.
Pro tip: If you're a coach stay the hell away from #Lebron & Cleveland #Cavs. This time next yr they'll be nailing a new body to the cross.

Winning a title is hard. Winning two back to back is magic, but this is a team sport. You didn’t do it alone. A coach quantifies the opposing team and your team mates pick up the slack. No great player can sustain playing 35 minutes. No great player should want to.
Why anyone would want to be The King is beyond me. In chess, the Knight is your strongest man when played right, followed by your Rook, then Queen. They work hard with their limited movements but they can out run the King, and are forced to be smarter. The Warriors play chess.
You can’t win if you don’t listen to your coaches and think you’re above everyone. That’s not how team sports work and that’s why he won’t win again. That’s also what Miami has to relearn all over again. Team ball will get you a dynasty. Think Spurs and Lakers. Me ball will get you a fluke.
