    Please no. I don't want us to end up being the proof that Lue was just riding along on LeBron's coat tails.

    I am now more amenable to the idea of Lue as our HC.

    I don’t want Lue, but let me tell ya, I sure can’t wait to see another coach we’re targeting sign with another team before even meeting with us.

    I don’t know, it would just be me speculating. I can tell you that there were reports that the Clippers front office was upset with his rotations. Most likely Doc just felt they could win how they were constructed and it didn’t happen.

    Sometimes really good coaches have tough series and match ups as well. Jeff Bzdelik is a really good defensive assistant coach and he was brutal against the Warriors a few years ago.

    To be fair, the casual fan doesn’t care about the coach.

    Likewise.

    It’s a team sport and the Cavs had LeBron, Kyrie, K-Love. LeBron put so much pressure on Ty Lue that he had to
    take a vacation during the season to prevent a nervous breakdown. Lue reputation is that the players like him....not x’s and O’s.

    I also don’t believe LeBron win a championship without the help of Kyrie/Love in Cleveland or without
    the help of D-Wade/Bosh in Miami.

    Curry had the help of Klay/Dray/Durant.......Luke Walton has been under .500 since leaving them.



    LeBron with AD this year.....AD being the huge matchup problem in today’s small ball era.

    Dragic/Adebayo injured.
    Westbrook injured
    & House banished.

    Pretty sure Lue will ask for a pretty penny and we can't afford him.

    First time Tilman’s lack of income will be good for the club.

    But how much was KDs injury and dantonis lack of adjustments? He kept the same defense against a team that changed their game plan in game 6 after KD went down. That opened up the game for curry to go off. Warriors waited for pj on curry switches and those switches allowed curry to use his speed and dribbling on PJ Tucker. Who is more physical but not fast enough to defend curry.

    main issue I have with Lue is that he had those Cavs teams not even trying on defense

    17-18 season they were 29th defensively

    16-17 they were 21st

    Where was the accountability or discipline on that end?

    they could get away with it because the EC was weak

    I’m sure if anything happens won’t be announced till Monday. That’s what happened to doc. To not take away from the nba finals. The sixers waited till next day to announce the doc hiring

    Is the pool of coaches that small for the NBA? Any team that needs a coach always looks into a small list of known coaches that were fired or quit. Surprised that there are no new/young coaches as prospects.
