CLEVELAND-- The Cleveland Cavaliers fired head coach David Blatt on Friday.

Assistant coach Tyronn Lue will take over after agreeing to a multi-year deal as the Cavaliers' head coach, according to Yahoo Sports.

In addition to addressing the pulse within the locker room, Griffin said the decision to let Blatt go and promote Lue was made without the consultation of the players.

“This is my decision, our basketball staff’s decision,” Griffin said emphatically while trying to dismiss the notion that LeBron James was behind the coaching change. “I got ownership’s approval. I’m not taking a poll. My job is to lead this franchise."

Ultimately, what caused the Cleveland Cavaliers to make a coaching chance despite being in first place in both the Central Division and Eastern Conference was their inability to handle success.

Currently, at 30-11, the Cavaliers are in first place in both the Eastern Conference and Central Division standings. The Cavaliers enjoy a 3.5-game lead over the Toronto Raptors (27-15) for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and 5.5-game edge over the Chicago Bulls (24-17) in the Central Division standings.

Only In Cleveland...

And in December, the 6-38 76ers extended their coaches contract. Strange league.

Yeah, Dave Blatt was too supportive on Lebron James, but the cavs bounced back last night beating the timberwolves!

LOL@MrCleveland, Opus and TVFactFan hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Tyronn Lue who replaced David Blatt has been doing alright so far. They did lose to Boston yesterday by a winning shot by Avery Bradley. I think the Cavs will get back to the finals but they'll lose to the Warriors because the Warriors are very good. Stephen Curry is unstoppable. There's just no defending that guy LOL. He scored 51 points against the Wizards on Wednesday. The Warriors play Oklahoma on ABC network today in Oakland, California at 9pm and that should be good. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are very good for Oklahoma but I think the Warriors will win. Did ya'll see how bad the Warriors beat the Spurs last week by 30 points? The Warriors are for real and they'll probably win championships for the next several years. I'm a Cavs fan but I don't see them winning championships before Lebron retires hahahahahahahahahaha. They just aren't good enough.

I doubt any Cleveland Team will win it all in anyone's lifetime...

The Cavs will go to the Finals and lose...
The Indians may be in the World Series soon, but will lose...
The Browns will NEVER be in the Super Bowl, let alone host it!

There's NEVER Next Year...

In Cleveland, everyone says "There's Always Next Year", like a broken record. That's why I use it since it's our mantra!

All I know is that since it's been our motto, no one here sees that There's Never Next Year...hence why we're the Mistake-on-the-Lake!

Well...none of Cleveland's professional sports teams have won since 1964...and equaling it all up, that's 170+ losing seasons!

We should get the "Next Year" title...I feel it's The Curse of Wahoo!

I think they'll lose at least 1 home game, maybe 2. Some team will eventually come along and whip them on their home court.

LOL@MrCleveland hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I don't see anybody beating the Warriors on their home court.
