David Blatt dismissed from the “Cleveland Cavaliers”. The most dramatic news stories of the National Basketball Association broke out at a time when the team is under the control of the Israeli coach has a strong lead in the Eastern Conference.
On the night Moscow time from the 22th to the 23rd of January, “Cleveland Cavaliers “announced the resignation of its head coach David Blatt.
Under the leadership of the Israeli professional team last season reached the finals of the playoffs, losing in a decent fight mighty “Golden State Warriors”, and this season was surely the first place in the Eastern Conference.
Blatt has gone down in history as the NBA coach, was fired from the club at the best winning percentage. When it “Cavaliers” in this season, scored 30 Victor at the 11 lesions, ie 73.2% of matches won!
Moreover, in calendar 2016, LeBron James and the company has won and all nine of the eleven meetings. Here are just a fatal began just two fiasco.
First, “Cleveland” lost at the end of its outbound tour on January 15, “San Antonio Spurs” (95:99), and it was still bad. Finally persuaded management to the resignation of the humiliation of the “Golden State” in native walls, when “Kevz” were smashed to smithereens – 98: 132.
After that, the team has managed to hold two meetings, and win both, but the solution is in the head of the club general manager David Griffin has matured, and the resignation was not long in coming.
In place Blatt confirmed his former assistant Tyrone Liu, whom the leadership of “Cavaliers” have managed to sign a three-year contract.
However, mature decision to dismiss Blatt not only, and perhaps not so much in the mind of Griffin. Returning to the last season in his native club LeBron James for a long time tried to persuade the leadership, of Inside of the American press, replaced the head coach, “Cleveland” his assistant.
The word LeBron has a huge weight. He returned to Cleveland something to get into the home team a much more extensive powers than the “Miami Heat”. The powers extending beyond simply playing career.
According to rumors, Blatt was close to retirement and during last season, and even upon its completion, but the finals playoffs still eventually became Israeli specialist of some protection.
However, the relationship with David major league star did not exist to the same unhappy Blatt had other basketball team. The pressure on the management of the club players have started at the beginning of December, when, according to all those insiders, basketball finally lost respect for the specialist after a series of three consecutive defeats from “Washington”, “New Orleans” and “Miami.”
Then the situation straightened and Blatt was at the helm, but the two games with the best teams in the Western Conference, both of which “Kevz” left with nothing, clearly demonstrated the difference between the “Golden State” and the current “Cleveland.”
Yes, “Cavaliers” will certainly be the first in the East, will be released in the conference finals, and will have to win it, but the club is just not enough. James returned to the team for the title, but now, “Cleveland” is in terms of a step below western giants.
Will the resignation of something Blatt? It is doubtful. Is that it should help the team in terms of atmosphere. Basketball and so lately poorly executed installation of the Israeli coach, and the Association of great prestige he has not yet acquired.
Will Liu merge command so that she was able to fight the “Warriors” on an equal footing? It is also unlikely, because the “Golden State” is objectively better composition, and the “Cleveland” is a problem not knowing how to defend Kevin Love, and does not justify his superstar status Kyrie Irving.
This really changed the expert can go to favor, so it is, surprisingly, Timothy Mozgova. Last season, the Russian central become to some extent a savior Blatt, but this played no small role in his resignation.
The relationship coach and player have deteriorated markedly in recent years. The brain ceases to perform the installation, which in one case even led to tragic consequences in the form of losing the ball in the final seconds of the game and half the effective throw opponent in the final attack.
After this brain was removed from the starting five and seated in the reserve, although rumors of impending exchange Blatt Russians categorically denied.
Let’s see what role the brain receives in the schemes and Tyrone Liu as “Cleveland” will be played after the reshuffle as a coach. In addition, costs will follow the fate of Blatt, who probably will soon find a new job in the NBA.
Recall that recently the president of the RSE Andrei Kirilenko offered coaching Board invite summer Blatt month as coach of the Russian national team consultant, but for financial reasons the idea was rejected.
