Cavaliers Fire J.B. Bickerstaff As Head Coach 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu May 23, 2024 4:12 pm

The Cleveland Cavaliers have parted ways with J.B. Bickerstaff as head coach.


Bickerstaff led the Cavaliers to a first round series win over the Orlando Magic, but were eliminated in the second round by the Boston Celtics in five games.


Shortly after the Cavaliers lost Game 5 to the Celtics, a report from The Athletic detailed why the franchise was considering a coaching change this offseason.


Bickerstaff was elevated to head coach of the Cavaliers in 2020 following the resignation of John Beilein.

I believe it's mostly because of how they performed vs Magic. Orlando is talented for sure. But Cavaliers have significantly better and more experienced roster for them to be dragged to game 7. And add last year's PO performance on the list.
