So true. And yet, when his team really needed him...
Pretty extraordinary to have three buzzer beater winners within a couple days by three clutch players like Rose, Pierce and James.
It hasn't been brought up on this board to date, but I do recall a good amount of posters wanting David Blatt to be the head coach in Minnesota just a year ago. I won't say any names, mainly because I don't remember the posters who specifically wanted the guy here. Why do I bring it up?
Well, if any of you have paid attention the past couple of days, you'd know about David Blatt trying to call timeout at the end of a playoff game when he didn't actually have a timeout to burn. NOT ONLY THAT, but the play he would have (and eventually was) drawn up had the world's best player, LeBron James, inbounding the ball with no chance to get it back to attempt to win the game.
That absurd amount of tomfoolery pilled with all of his weird coaching moves (how he's used Love, starting Miller at one point, etc.) would have been 100% completely Minnesota.
I'm glad Flip didn't go that route. Blatt's got a legitimate chance to be fired after one year in CLE, and that's even with the owner realizing he'd have to pay, Brown, Blatt and the new head coach.
I am so sick of LeBron's team getting all the calls. Matthew Dellavadova just wrapped his legs around Taj Gibson and Taj violently pulled his leg out and was hit with a flagrant 2, ejecting him. Chicago now has no chance to win this game. Momentum killer and makes them even more shorthanded

It makes one wonder if it will come down to either Blatt or Love returning, but not both. It'll be an interesting off season that's for sure.

I wanted him as an assistant not the head coach, but he has been worse than I thought, especially how he handled k love
