Cavs Signs Byron Scott To Coach

Byron Scott will be named the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers at some point today. I can't fucking stand Bryon Scott and is smug attitude. The only reason I am kind of happy about this is because he is not coaching the Celtics, and he won't be on ESPN as much (well at least analyzing).

Scott is so fucking overrated. He is under .500 for his career, and really Chris Paul going off 1 year was the only real reason this guy even won Coach of the Year in 2008, but then again he has to be better then what the Cavs had before.

I don't think this will have much influence on Lebron, because I really don't think he cares who is coaching. No matter where he ends up he will be the leader of that team, and it is looking more and more like it could be Chicago, since they have the best overall team that is going after him (and they are really young).

Hornets Fire Byron Scott

"The New Orleans Hornets have responded to their 3-6 start by making the first coaching change of the young NBA season, firing Byron Scott on Thursday, according to NBA coaching sources. Sources said the Hornets made the decision to dismiss Scott following New Orleans' 124-104 loss in Phoenix on Wednesday night and will formally announce the move later Thursday. It was not immediately known who will replace Scott (ESPN)."

It is amazing how fast things can change. Scott won NBA Coach of the Year honors in 2008 when he led the Hornets to a 56-26 record and the Southwest Division title. The Hornets then defeated Dallas in the first round of the playoffs and were within one win of the West finals before losing Game 7 at home to the San Antonio Spurs. Now he is out of work. I actually like this because for some reason I have always had a deep hatred for Byron Scott. The Hornets should be better then they are, but I think most of their problems have been caused by personnel decisions...

Byron Scott Wins Coach Of The Year

I know I am a homer, I know the Celtics have 3 superstars, and I know Byron Scott had a hell of a year as the Coach of the New Orleans Hornets. But I believe Doc Rivers should have won this. He won 66 games this year compared to 24 last year. If he weren't coach we wouldn't know how good Leon Powe and Glen Davis actually are. He has been fantastic this year (not last game) with his rotations of players, while being able to manage three stars on one team, and that has to be hard. Anyways, Byron did a swell job I beleive Doc did a better job. Danny Ainge has to win the Exec of the year.
