    Kyrie Irving, on the other hand, was strong in his support: "I'll do anything for Coach Blatt and I know players share the same (sentiment)"

    Interesting that LeBron calls the coach "Blatt" and not "coach."

    The resulting losing streak gives the Cavs the perfect opportunity to fire David Blatt!

    Would not have expected this after losing so much weight
    I thought the weight loss was to prevent this from happening

    I guess that's why LBJ was in "chill" mode. He clearly wasn't himself.

    If he had to play, I'm sre he would. But he needs to get as healthy as he can b/c the Cavs aren't what they should be with this type of Lebron.

    Lebron has played 34,000 plus mintues total before hitting 30. That's at least 2,000 more than the next two guys; Kobe and Kevin Garnett.

    I'm glad we don't have to play LeBron. I'm sure there will be plenty of upset Rockets fans who purchased tickets in advance. ESPN would probably not have chosen to televise the game. Hopefully the Cavs don't become a cohesive basketball team sans James v Blatt.

    If the Cavs fire Blatt now, it really means LeBron is the real boss over there. And a franchise will go nowhere with a player managing it.
    They should give Blatt some backing, like Riley did with Spoelstra. If they are still not pleased with him, fire him in the off season.
