Seriously?


Sources: Cavs may fire Coach of the Year

Could this season's NBA Coach of the Year be looking for a job before the start of next season? It sounds ridiculous but it just might be the case for Cleveland's Mike Brown, according to several sources close to the situation.

The Cavaliers' front office has reportedly been in disarray since the team was bounced by Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals -- despite finishing with a league-best record of 66-16 and possessing NBA MVP LeBron James.

Some key members of the organization feel Brown was badly out-coached by Orlando's Stan Van Gundy, according to sources. One source said Cavs management wasn't only disappointed in the losses, "but equally disappointed in the (two) wins" in a series that went six games.

Seriously? The Cavs are going to fire a guy who led them to two Conference Finals? Look, the Cavs didn't make the Finals because they only have one reliable player so maybe they shouldn't punish the guy who was able to turn those stiffs into good players for 90 games. Instead maybe they should try and trade for some guys who don't suck. Trust me, when Lebron bolts out of that cesspool after next season they are going to need Brown to pick up the pieces and coach those losers.
