    Lue always remembered for his defense.

    3rd best record in the league and best in the east. Strange move.

    Wonder if all the people that came out to defend McHale and whatnot will do so here. Not saying it's exactly the same situation but it seems like Blatt never had a chance in Cleveland.

    The writing has to be on the wall for K. Love.

    I know this was made in jest, but the two are far from similar imo. Near the midpoint of the season with a 30-11 record (3.5 games up on the #2 seed) is nothing like our start to the season.

    Can someone explain this to me? The Cavs are 30-11, 1st in the East, 3 1/2 up on Toronto who are in 2nd, not that far back of the Spurs for 2nd best record in the league, and are coming off a Finals appearance under Blatt in his first year coaching. And oh BTW, the Cavs under Blatt got to the Finals without Love after Round 1, swept the Hawks in the Conference Finals without home court, and pushed the 67-15 Warriors to 6 games(and were up 2-1 in the series) without not only Love but Kyrie Irving after the OT period in Game 1.

    This was a dumb move. I don't care if LeBron had tuned him out. And don't give me any crap about what the Warriors did to the Cavs the other night. They're doing that to everyone in the NBA this season. And to already have given Tyronn Lue a multiyear deal? That's adding insult to injury.
