I have no idea why I remembered that.
It was fun reading that quote, cause I was thinking "I don't remember really pulling for a player-coach, but it
would be fun to see... like a brokered convention!" I'm swiftly becoming the old guy who keeps telling the same three anecdotes.
Blatt was in a rough position from the start, since he was brought in before LeBron came back, to a team which was going to have a much different roster and set of expectations. I have no idea how well his offense would translate to the NBA, but Stoney's right that it basically got scrapped right away in favor of just running spread pick-and-roll. Which isn't the worst thing, they put up huge numbers last year when Love, Kyrie, and LeBron were healthy in the second half.
Cleveland's main problem is they're "just" a contender in a year that has two all-time teams.
