When LeBron James hits a buzzer-beating jumper to win a playoff game, he writes your lede. Under every circumstance imaginable, that’s the story. The moxie. The wonder. The greatness.

But we’re talking about the incompetence this morning.

Not James’ incompetence, but that of his coach David Blatt.

Never, in the history of professional sport, has a coach so actively tried to lose a game. It began when Blatt attempted to call a timeout in the final minute when the Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t have a timeout to take.
