Thanks CB for speaking truths.

Cavs are toxic and didn't deserve a great coach like JB.  The players are the problem not the coaching staff.

The Cav owners should have got rid of all the whiners and supported JB.  It's obvious they needed work on fundamentals and they whine about watching film?   This team sucks because their culture sucks and the lunatics are running the asylum.

They did not deserve JB and the arrogant prima donna attitude of these players is an example of why some fans have lost interest in the NBA.

With support from the owners I think JB would have been succesful.

I’m not sure the John Beilein NBA experiment would’ve worked out even if he got full support from ownership, but he certainly would’ve lasted longer.

Had he gone most anywhere else, I think he would’ve been able to stick for maybe 2-3 years, build a team in his image, and we would’ve been able to at least see what it could’ve looked like. 

Who knows? If nothing else he could’ve at least gotten the band back together and fielded a team of Burke, THJ, Stauskas, GRIII and maybe LeVert. That definitely would’ve been cool to have his old players come back to play for him in the pros as well.

Another CB quotation from the link: "John Beilein is a hell of a coach and I think he's a good guy. But for those players to complain about, 'We're practicing too hard. We're watching too much film' -- because they stink. Because they stink I just didn't think that was fair."

ha.
