Lue, after all, was Blatt’s assistant, and one [...]

What time is it? NBA power rankings time. A lot has happened since we last met. All-Star rosters were finalized. The Warriors refused to lose. The Suns refused to let Jeff Hornacek keep his job.

So about that whole “LeBron James left the Miami Heat primarily because they wouldn’t can Erik Spoelstra” thing…It might not be true.

David Blatt, apparently, never stood a chance with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Not if the words of Miami Heat minority owner Raanan Katz are true.

Someone close to former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt has a theory. LeBron James is responsible for Blatt’s dismissal. From NBA.com’s David Aldridge: One of Blatt’s supporters believe that Blatt’s firing was “1,000 percent LeBron.” There is no question that in the Cavs’ grand scheme of things, James carried, and carries, the hammer.
