Locker room issues that Lue wasn't able to really address Either. as soon as the playoffs started the team snapped in line just as in the season before.Blatt got a raw deal only if you are looking solely at win-loss record.
He obviously had X’s and O’s talent, but in terms of player accountability and trust, he had a year and a half to fix a locker room divide and the team actually regressed in that regard.
Id have to ask if the Cavs didn't hire a backup of Lue stature ( someone they wrere already considering as head coach) would they have fired Blatt?
I don't think so. Blatt wouldn't of been fired Midseason if Griffins guy wasn't already on the coaching staff.
The whole Blatt vs Lue thing was about who gave ya the best shot for a championship. Lue has won the championship so the debate is moot. even if Blatt was capable and it could be proven that Blatt would of had it done in 5 or 6 games. Putting Lue in charge of the Cavs did not cost us a championship
the spin regarding practice times and relationships as well a discipline will always be spun against Blatt but he managed the team to the finals and had them in position to secure home court advantage in the EC.
We could continue to second guess Griffins decision all day long but to what end? we won the fuckin Championship!
