Definitely caught me off guard. I'm guessing Lue will be the interim?

MORONS! Dysfunctional organization at its best! Looking closer to the Browns every single day!

I'm beyond livid right now. How many head coaches do we need to go through before the players have some god damn accountability!

Gets to the finals without 2/3's of his star players and is comfortably top of the east this season = fired.

Blatt is the scapegoat for a poorly constructed team. They have JR starting for them for God's sake.

LeBron is an idiot if he thinks anyone will do better with that roster.

I assume this means Tyronn Lue will be made the interim head coach. I always thought it was odd that didn't make Lue the head coach to begin with and try and get Blatt as the lead assistant. Going directly from Europe to becoming an NBA head coach was just too much of an adjustment.
