It only took six games, but we have our first head coach firing of the season, and it came to someone the Golden State Warriors are very, very familiar with: Cleveland Cavaliers coach Ty Lue.
The Cavs started the season on a horrible note, losing their first six games while accumulating a net rating of -12.6, second-to-worst in the league. That was apparently enough for management to pull the plug on Lue as a coach.
The timing of the firing is exceptionally odd. Sure, Cleveland has been terrible thus far, but they can’t have had any expectations for success after LeBron James left in free agency.
