Definetly a suprise. I did not see this one coming at all, even if they were slipping in the standings.

Wow, that is definitely a surprise. But I think it's very possible that a new coach (like Flip Saunders) could help turn them around.

He called Boozer a cunt. That's why he got fired..

..and also his team has been struggling ever since the All-Star break :lol:

It is surprising, but he had a lot of problems with Snow and McInnis, as it seems. He got into trouble with the Boozer comment, and his team hasn't been winning lately. I bet they asked LeBron for approval before the firing.

I bet they ask Lebron for everything, even the small things like the halftime entertainment.

They don't want Lebron angry.

:lol: well it wouldn't surprise me. They practically hand feed Lebron everything he wants.

But I don't blame them, I'd do it too.

and Phil Jackson with 15 championships will never be considered a good coach because...
"He had Jordan and Pippen, Shaq and Kobe and Bronbron and Z(??)"

(I am not implying that Cavs are gonna win 6 with Phil Jackson, but just thinking what would happen if he did.)

Well I'd prefer coaching LeBron vs Kobe.

Maybe they fired Silas because they know Phil Jackson is free and Lebron could possibly lure him to get back to coaching :) it would be very interesting seeing Phil Jackson coaching the unlimited multi-talented James though. I'm not sure if Phil is the right coach for Lebron as far as developing young guys like Bron because his main asset is to manage and control big egos and is not as good as developing the younger guys - I might be wrong on this one.

Paul Silas was a great coach, I dont know why they keep firing NBA coaches, half the time the losing is because the players not the coaches

With Flip, maybe the Cavs have a chance.
I'm not saying conference champs or anything, but a solid boost maybe! 8-)

naw, the cavs are just slipping fast and they needed to make a move fast before they slipped even further.

That's what you get when you're posting in a forum full of LA fans. Come on, Phil Jackson... this isn't NBA Live. However, I will bite my tongue if it actually does happen.

When you can't win with Lebron scoring 56, something has GOT to change.

well i think it wouldve been smart to keep him atleast till the end of the season , cavs are still a good team and can get far into the playoffs with or with him . i guess this is an ok move for now but if they can get a good coach it will be an excellent move by the cavs.

this is weak. jim paxson should be the one fired for the boozer fiasco and for not improving the team. this team is pretty thin on talent after james and ilgauskas

silas did a great job handling a 18 year old superstar. he also got gooden to back on track for the most part.

it's a liitle ironic that cleveland is making the playoffs for the 1st time in a while and they're firing their coach
