Cavs owner Gilbert backs David Blatt on Twitter
It's been a weird year for David Blatt. Hired as the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach before LeBron James officially decided to return home, the formerly acclaimed leader in European leagues has had a tough adjustment curve.
That'll happen when your first year as a head coach in America comes under the harshest spotlight possible. Blatt has had his fair share of gaffes since the surprise of James' return. He's had the maximum amount attention on him, and the results haven't always been pretty.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, however, suggests that all the talk of Blatt and LeBron not feeling kindly toward each other is just talk. He even took to Twitter to make his point:
This has to be an encouraging sight for Blatt supporters. We'll see how true Gilbert is to his word, though, when the judgment hour comes this summer.
Crushed. The parade of silliness never ends...@cavs https://t.co/0BS9O1ot0g
