After four years as head coach, four trips to the Finals, one championship and after an 0-6 start to this season Ty Lue was sent packing today.
I don't think anybody thought Lue was a great coach, he was the right coach to replace David Blatt and I did think he did a great job during the LeBron era, in getting out of the way if nothing else but I think Lue's coaching was exposed this year. This team is absolutely dreadful, cLUEless if you will, disorganized, undisciplined, and unprepared. Someone wrote that Cleveland is not even playing like an NBA team this year, they have fallen that far that quickly. During LeBron's time the organization could wait it out knowing that LeBron's talent and will would eventually overcome all things but, my God, that team did not even practice last year until they were called on it by the media. That is how Ty Lue could do things during the LeBron era. You cannot just roll 'em out with this team. You have to actually coach them, really coach them and actually coaching, really coaching was never Ty Lue's strong suit.
