Too bad reddit is layed out for people with schizophrenia.
For starters, I'm not a clown. Secondly, I stated in my initial post if they win the title this year I will give them credit.
How is he a snake??? Sometimes you don't want to over step your boundaries and create division..
Also::
During the first portion of the 2014-15 season, film sessions were a topic of discussion among the players. Blatt was reluctant to criticize star players even when they clearly messed up a play. This became routine. It got so bad that I'm told that Lue finally intervened, stood up and demanded that somebody rewind the footage so that he could get on members of The Big 3.
During team scrimmages, players competed aggressively but bit their tongues as Blatt frequently blew his whistle to call ticky-tack or phantom fouls for his go-to players. One player said sometimes Blatt didn't even have a whistle and would yell at the top of his lungs to stop play and call a foul if one of his stars acted as if he was hit.
It was viewed as a blatant attempt to get in the good graces of his top talent. Blatt's leadership was in question. Players grew tired of this treatment. The locker room started resenting Blatt's handling, or lack thereof, when it came to dealing with his stars.
Word circulated to cleveland.com that Blatt had trouble drawing up plays out of timeouts. He would freeze up and waste precious seconds, one player said. He would even draw up plays for players who weren't in the game, another player said.
In the closeout game of the Eastern Conference Finals, a game the Cavaliers trounced the Atlanta Hawks by 30 to sweep the series; Blatt had signaled for Tristan Thompson to reenter in the closing minutes with the game already wrapped up. This was when Thompson was the team's most valuable big man with Kevin Love out of commission with a dislocated shoulder.
The bench couldn't believe it. They were shocked, as was Thompson, who never questions authority. LeBron James told Blatt to put somebody else in the game, out of concern a key cog might get hurt before The Finals, a league source said. Kendrick Perkins got the nod, and a few minutes later, Brendan Haywood's number was called to finish it out.

This can't be true. Blatt has won multiple championships in Euroleague.
Popovich already playing mind games.Duncan out
He's played the 4 and 5 but I agree with you...not small ball 4. Draymond and Chris bosh play small ball 4People who think LeBron has played the small ball 4 must have never seen it with their own eyes. He has never played it, not at miami and not at the Olympics.
Yes and no.
He didn't defend the opposing PF (Shane Battier) but he basically operates it on offense when he has the ball in his hands.
