When Cavs GM David Griffin fired HC David Blatt the team was winning ball games. They had the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference and had just won 2 straight. While the team looked far from perfect, and had been handled by the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs, they were winning games.
That wasn’t enough for Griff as he felt the team lacked an enjoyment of winning and that a change was needed.
The hiring of Tyronn Lue as the Cavs new head coach has seemed to energize the team. The team is playing with more pace, generally speaking, while continuing to win.
