Larry Drew - Cavaliers Acting Head Coach

[Benedict_Boozer]

One thing that's definitely better is his press conferences. He actually answers questions.

And no clue where they value TT yet.

Hmmmm, someone needs to keep the Gatorade cooler stocked....

ONE thing is fairly obvious: Lue’s absence certainly hasn’t HURT the team. Lue’s added value either approaches zero or even goes negative.

Or Kevin Love’s impact was sorely underrated.

It's super obvious now. One thing is for sure. This new team fits Love a lot better than the one at the beginning of the year.

Do people actually care and watch post-game press conferences looking for actual insight? I thought it was widely accepted that that medium was a major waste of time?

Right?! I'm no Lue fan, but I'm perfectly happy with him giving zero information to reporters. All the best coaches give the reporters very little. Pop and Belichick are both notorious for this.

Sports reporters can go themselves as far as I'm concerned. Most of them are entirely worthless.

Yes, I also like porn that involves some foreplay and has a real story.

It has a really high content:information ratio. You have to watch hours to get anything good.

I learned that there was a major miscommunication between Hill and Drew last night. HIll said,"I thought we should have take more time off the clock before we fouled(up 3 28 sec on the clock). Coach Drew said, "I like fouling there because i have seen too many crazy things happen". Then he said, "We did it way too early, we should have burnt more time."

So they both thought they should have burnt more time and i think they were blaming each other.

It was 7'30 seconds when they fouled and yeah, it was waaay too early and against the wrong player. Then they decided not to foul with 3'40 seconds left.

I guess that counts, but I don't know that I would call that some sort of revelation, you know?

Yeah no big news gets broken. Sometimes it what they don't say. Like I never once heard Kyrie say his defense could have been better. He basically never mentioned defense ever. I knew it was barely a thought to him. If he played poorly and hismatchup exploited him, he would just say "Have to get better every day". Very frustrating.

Lue never mentions switching up the defense no matter what. It is messed up.

Well... kevin love is back. And we are playing against bad teams (except the raptors) for the rest of the season. I do still think we are better off without lue. Just need to forever bench TT or fake him an injury or something. Nance Love and LBJ is a thing of beauty. I think the easier remaining schedule is a good thing for Hood he needs to find his grove back.

About the press .... the press is so useless... the thing i hate the most about them is asking questions where they have already given their own answers to.

For example something like this:

"Lebron, facing the raptors, the number 1 seed and a potential opponent in the play-offs. In such a close game with the crowd going nuts and the tense playoffs atmosphere in the building. Can you describe to me what it felt like?"

Seriously?

Interesting fact about Larry Drew. He is the reason the Bucks got the Greek Freak. Larry was the head coach for Hawks, and when Danny Ferry took over as GM for the Hawks he did not immediately fire Larry Drew. So Larry was involved in the Hawks draft scouting process, and Ferry was very high on Giannis Antetokounmpo. Prior to the draft, the Hawks let go of Drew in favor of Mike Budenholzer, an assistant from the Spurs. Drew was then hired by the Bucks. The Hawks were all set to take Giannis at #17, expecting him to be there according to their draft projections. But Larry Drew talked the Bucks into taking him at #15, having already been sold on his abilities from Danny Ferry's scouting and opinions.

Moral of story: Don't tell draft secrets to coaches you're about to fire.

Moral #2: Rehire Danny Ferry?!
