    I know I might lose some people with this reference, but it just occurred to me. I think this is similar to what Real Madrid just went through:

    One of the most talented teams on earth. One of the best records in the league. But the team looks like they are underperforming compared to expectations. The players are clearly short changing the manager/coach.

    It's not fair to the outgoing coach, but a change in scenery may turn things around.

    BTW stupid reply from Lue.

    LeBron is trying to play 1 on 5? Without LeBron there is no Love. Love doesn't help the team? Thompson might not stay on a bottom dwelling roster without LeBron. Etc.

    I don't see how anyone can argue LeBron isn't trying to win on the court.

    It seems like you're trying to defend Lebron but in reality you are saying that he's more responsible for winning only 2 rings than he should be. It's been reported by SAS that he prefers a coach that has previously played in the NBA. That would eliminate guys like Pop, Thibs. If that's the case then good for LBJ that he got his wish but if he doesn't win a ring then he's even more at fault than he would have been.

    to win on the court you must have other good players around you because as I said and you completely misunderstood Lebron can't win the championship on his own. And if he plays GM and puts his agent's clients with max contracts like he did with Thompson and his washed up friends like Jones and Miller(last year) then he can't.

    And Love doesn't help the team because he is attacked again and agian in pnr and can't play in the fourths. And thompson not remaining in the Cavs? LMAO

    If it weren't for Lebron Thompson would be getting right now a 9 million contract tops and would be grateful.

    Lol at LeBron fans not wanting to hold him accountable for ANYTHING. Typical and should expect nothing less.

    kyrie irving is a bigger problem than love in my opinion

    irving is a lousy point guard and doesn't play defense. he is a purely offensive weapons. however he is always injured, and even his offense has been off this ya. he's one of those 'potential' guys you always hear about.

    if not for all of his injuries, etc. this guy would be awesome...

    well, he is always injured and even when he is at his best he's not getting a lot of assists.

    irving and love are flawed, one way stars. and lebron gets his coach fired. pfff

    LeBron needs one more superstar. He always needs more superstars.

    I said yesterday to someone that being a strong & respected #2 is far different than being the man in the saddle. Ty Lue is finding that out. He may adjust and have success or he might learn his comfort zone that of a secondary leader.

    Much of Lebron's hate is self inflicted. But the media and coaches around the league are roasting the entire organization. Since Lebron is the face of the Cavs, he surely is going to be put on blast for the way things went with Blatt.
