    I guess I kind of understand Lebron. Dude has never had a great coach, Ever! Must be frustrating.

    Kobe he was doing the same thing with his recent coaches. Chris Paul wanted a black coach. This is nothing new.

    Was this pre-planned or did this just happen?

    Ty Lue?

    I'm not saying that Blattis a good coach or anything. LeBron is obviously in a better position to judge than all of us given he works with the guy daily. But if LeBron thinks that Blatt sucks, he should just have the guy fired and replaced with someone he trusts rather than undermine Blatt while he coaches the Cavs.

    The fact that blatt played mozgov 10 minutes after he score 28 points made me question blatt.

    If that's the case, ppl better not use coaching a excuse when Lebron & his Cavs underachieve next year. If Lebron's calling the shots then he should take more criticism from his fans if they fail

    Translated: If LeBron wants a new coach, the team's gonna have to pay me what's owed on the contract still. I'm not just give up money.

    I feel like most of the media loved him immediately for his Euro success

    I don't think that Stein is supporting Blatt as much as he is saying that LeBron didn't handle things well whether or not Blatt is any good at coaching.

    i'm not a big lebron fan, but let's not forget blatt was a rookie coach deep in the playoffs, calling timeout he doesn't even have in crunchtime. while lebron has already been there a dozen times and doesn't have chances to waste. i can't tell if stein is anti-lebron or just pro-stein, but the article is not very good journalism imo
