He might have done well in Israel and was a Princeton basketball player under Pete Correll, but if you listen to the post-game interviews, he never really answers a question.

If I was a reporter, I would say "David: Mozgov had 28 points and 10 rebounds in game 4. How can you justify playing Mike Miller more than Mozgov?" He would make a great politician because he's a great bullshitter, riding LBJ's coattails.

If you remember, a few months ago, Lebron wouldn't even "huddle up" during time outs. He's disgusted with Blatt because Blatt has nothing to offer. Does anyone else feel this way? This guy is atrocious!!!!

[htown1]

Lebron clearly doesn't want him there. If I remember correctly he was hired before Lebron decided to come back.
Only problem is they don't have an excuse for firing him at the moment

[jjgold]

Mozgov Should've played 35+ minutes how can you have your second best score not in the game… Cleveland try to play that wide-open game and it didn't work

[Git Lo]

you might just suck at capping. Hindsight is always 20/20

[jjgold]

LeBron might've made the player change so he didn't have to pass the ball to the big man

[Snowball]

nobody likes him.
team is complaining how he ran them dead
while capable players sit on bench and he ignored the complaints.

Terrible coach should have gone as big as possible you will not beat GS trying to match their lineup

[paco]

Glad that Netanyahu lover is losing.

[vinny808]

20 points 10 boards... lost by 20 at home. Seems like a good move to me.

[Git Lo]

GS goes on a 8-2 run to start the game all because of moz they lose by 20 if he continues to get beat in he paint

[Sledge187]

No coach with LBJ will ever get credit.

he's LRJ.

LeBron Raymone James.

The sucks. Go back to Europe.

[d2bets]

Will LeBron fire him and replace with Thibodeau?

[Snowball]

Will LeBron fire him and replace with Thibodeau?

Gilbert won't let him, unless he threatens to leave, I'm sure..
they got the old Jew-for-Jew protection thing going on.

too bad cuz Thibs would be great there.

[jjgold]

Lebron runs show

He can choose anyone he wants

[lakerboy]

Just give james any coach he wants. Then let him pick players off other rosters. Then let him win the next 7 titles. Theen when he retires let us know so we can watch the nba again.

[SharpAngles]

20 points 10 boards... lost by 20 at home. Seems like a good move to me.

Although I will say blatt is still a horrible coach with his bench management. I gave him zero credit to adjust to the GS small ball lineups so ended up losing a couple Mozgov props game 5.

[Snowball]

guys this is a big deal. Cleveland had a chance to win their first NBA title and their first
major sports title since 1964.
it is pathetic to see them blowing it on poor coaching. Pathetic and SAD.
we cannot say 100% they would be up in the series or had already won it
by now but if they had a top coach like Pops or Jackson or some others
there's a good chance.
LeBron is 30 and will be 31 in late 2015
his clock is starting to tick
he has even said he doesn't know how much longer he can play like this
- not for long -
i have zero confidence in the Cavs tonight. they don't appear to know what they
are doing or who to listen to. if they are going to win tonight they will need
favorable officiating and a stale GS performance.

Or, just completely ignore Blatt, and do what LBJ says. Only problem, he can't sub players in & out.

[Git Lo]

If cavs would have won playing small no one would be saying anything. They could lose again going big with mozgov. GS will probably close this out

[Snowball]

Only problem, he can't sub players in & out.

yeah he could.. full player-coach responsibilities.
LeBron should demand that or leave.
Then he can coach Cleveland after he retires.

[will2survive]

I also called this. Blatt is a hurrendous coach. He can't make up plays. Steve Kerr played for some of the best coaches in the world. Golden State had a major advantage at head coach. Blatt should be fired. James doesn't get along or respect him.

[play4win]

remember in the beginning of the season that they spoke about lebron being the coach of cavs?
well, the greatest player who failed biggest in the finals should have said something when moskov was benched after having a career night? there goes the leader, keeping his mouth shut and loose!
yea, sure the coach is garbage but everybody knew that he's a euro trash!
at least he got excuse since it's his first time.

Blatt got this historically bad roster to overachieve in a major way in the finals. Everyone expected a sweep or 4-1 after game 1 yet they made it a pretty close series. How is that proof of him being a "hurrendous" coach.

[kingdom]

Kerr made it look easy. Being a rookie coaching the world s best is not easy. Lebron doesn't like being coached. Phil always coached Scottie more than mike and shaq more than Kobe because of ego issues. Blatt with injuries and what he had to work with did as he could. He was hired to coach a team expected to win 30 games. No love. No lebron

[jtoler]

He might have done well in Israel and was a Princeton basketball player under Pete Correll, but if you listen to the post-game interviews, he never really answers a question.

I see I'm not the only one who notices this.

[kingdom]

That said I think if they hire thibs and go defense they win multiple. Blatt struggled on defense as expected

[freeeze]

I see I'm not the only one who notices this.

So does Popovich.
You really look at post game interviews to determine how good coaches are?

[paco]

Glad u lost u Israel Zionist supporter land grabbing penetrate Blatt lost

[Mac4Lyfe]

Blatt was horrible. Not one adjustment when GS made theirs. He should have taken Igoudala out of this series by hack a shaqing him but sat there and watched him hoist the MVP trophy. Nice job Blatt.

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Blatt is a great coach.

[greypimps]

Wow u idiots think you know better than blatt.. He didnt play mozgov cuz gsw didnt play andre the giant. Hes too slow for golden states fast paced.. TT is all they need for rebound. All clevelands supportive cast werent making any good plays thats why they loss.. Even if mozgov is in they will lose still.. That big guy needs a rest too..

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Steve Kerr has 6 rings, the guy is obviously a basketball genius. Highest 3 pt % of all time. Player. Basketball Analyst/Announcer. GM. And now a championship in his rookie season coaching. He was at full strength as well. The Cavs never stood a chance.
