LeBron James was openly disrespectful to David Blatt during the Finals, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
James and Blatt's relationship could be described as interesting at best, and Stein's piece illustrates a less-than-desirable dynamic between the pair. In one instance, James was shaking his head "vociferously" as Blatt drew up a play during the third quarter of Game 5, which forced Blatt to wipe the board clean and draw up another one in front of the whole team. Blatt coached the Cavs to the Finals despite missing two of their core pieces, but if James doesn't want Blatt to be his coach, the King will get what he wants. Blatt does however have the support of Dan Gilbert and David Griffin, so it'll be interesting to see if he returns for a second season in Cleveland.


So much for the belief that Bron did like Blatt as coach.

Gilbert is probably like "why did I get myself back into it with this guy again?"

Lebron has never had a couch that most people would call above average. MJ was coached by a legend. May have something to do with it.

Meh, they all do it.

MJ forced Collins to change a play and even Saint Shaq mocked Van Gundy once.

The problem is, if he hadn't written the letter and embarrassed himself, he might have a little swat. Now, he has to take it from Bron whatever way the King wants.

one of the things I don't like about LBJ, incredibly fake when cameras are around but behind the scenes he seems like a bitch

He wanted Spoe out in Miami because he didn't let him joke around at practive

I really hate to hear stuff like this. It was just bad timing all around to even bring Blatt aboard in the first place.

Even still, Lebron should have enough maturity to not publicly undermine the head coach, and an experienced one at that. If you don't like the coach fine, but you have to pull in one direction while the season's going. Fake it until you make it.

If Lebron runs Blatt off and doesn't get it done, he deserves all of the hate he gets.

Well yeh. But it is fricking Cleveland and they made the NBA finals and will make multiple more. Without Lebron, no modern day free agent is going to that shite hole city Gilbert knows this now

Blatt is not an experienced NBA coach. I think that's part of the issue. The games are different here compared to overseas. And if you disagree with that, you still can't possibly disagree with the fact that Blatt at times didn't know the tendencies of the opponents here in the NBA. And how could he?
