    When the team doesn't respect the coach, which was very obvious with Blatt from the start of last season, you get rid of him.

I'm glad I don't go to games..buy any jerseys etc...coaches run the team not the players. James has not won a title by.him being the star...period. golden state will sweep these fools and his king James nonsense has him ego like tiger can't win anymore. Some shmuck on cavs now coaches NBA all star game...go back to burning his jersey in cleveland...if this was white ball player 2 blk coaches it would be headlines galore.
    ridiculous thread. LeBRON wants an EX-PLAYER (professional ball)

    Jordan had an ex-player coach
    Kobe had an ex-player coach (same one)

    i wonder of either of these two would have had trouble taking advice
    from a pencil-pusher that could not dribble a ball and walk at the same time.

    LeBron has been 100% open and transparent about the fact
    that he always wanted to play for an ex-player.
    Not high school player or just college, but a professional player
    that used to play in the NBA. Someone that understands first-hand what
    playing in the NBA means.

    Mike Brown played at two crap community colleges.
    Spoelstra NEVER played at all.
    Blatt played Ivy league ball.. 40 yrs. ago
    when it was a bunch of whites stiffs who never dunked.

    Tyronne Lue is NBA, as a bench player, played on a Laker team that won title.
    Knows the physical drill. First thing as coach, he said,


    "you guys need to be in better shape, not going
    to win a Championship unless you are in your best shape"

    "you may be more talented, but you won't beat a more physically fit team"


    Cats looking better already.. they are faster.. they are more uptempo, shooting for
    over 100 possessions/Game.


    let's see. LeBron not a racist.. why trade Wiggins for Love if in fact a racist?

    both of these observations are correct,

    and they both result directly from Lue being an ex-player

    Pau is from SPAIN which is in EUROPE. Manu is from Argentina with ITALIAN ancestry which is in EUROPE

    How can people be this stupid? Are you one of those people who think Spanish means latin American and groups Spaniards with Mexicans and other mestizos? 😂😂

    Lebron does not respect lue. First game as coach, lebron tossed his seat cushion at lue so he'd trade him. What guy does that to the head coach in middle of game? Of course lue obliged like a yes man. He is a yes man is all.

    Fuk LeBron, he is a total pussy who shuts down like a little bitch anytime anything happens that doesn't benefit him. He couldn't hold Jordans jock strap. Guy is a panzy little bitch.

    Oh I need a championship better get a meeting with half the all star team so I can win something because unless I get a layup I know I couldn't shoot my way out of a paper bag.

    that was bad. classless

    but Lue told LeBron he was out of shape.. and Lebron listened. That's something

    they looked faster the other night.

    Wasn't Spain invaded by the Moors?

    EDIT: yep, The Spanish occupation by the Moors began in 711 AD when an African army, under their leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from northern Africa and invaded the Iberian peninsula 'Andalus' (Spain under the Visigoths)

    There was hardly any intermixing. The Muslim moors and Christian Europeans hardly intermingled and remained separate to say the least.

    Think its more about coaching smarts, when you think you know more about the game than your coach its frustrating. When you see your coach making bad coaching decisions its frustrating, I think thats more the reason you see guys like Bron become disgruntled with coaches. Its going to always be about the star player simply because he's considered more valuable and makes more money than the coach. So if youre more financially invested in your star player then the coach will get canned before that star.

    Lol. I've researched this topic and it's bothered me for years at how people get Spanish and Latin Americans mixed up as well as claiming that Spaniards aren't white due to the moors. I could link info but I'm on my phone and just finished playing ball. Too lazy... Trust me lol
