an elite DEF team in 3 weeks time due to injuries. The Cavs were a bottom half defensive team in the regular season, and now they look like the damn 04 Pistons.

Bron rightfully gets the most credit here, but Blatt has done an excellent job. The end of that one game was brutal, but it was ultimately a minor incident and has overshadowed a really terrific coaching job in these playoffs.


Now Bron makes so much of this possible with his all around amazingness, but the Blatt hate is really unwarranted at this point. In particular, the way he has used his (sketchy) bench is very creative.
