In lieu of putting the Cavs through a shootaround before the tail end of their back-to-back, the longtime European coach called a meeting at the team hotel and put them in their place instead of putting them through their paces.
“You all are such nice people, I’m so happy you weren’t in the morning meeting today because your opinion of me might be vastly different right now,” Blatt told the media after the Cavs beat the Chicago Bulls 114-108 in overtime Friday.
“He just got on us,” James said when asked about Blatt’s message. “He got on us from the time we started our meeting to the time we left.”
“Fiery and to the point,” one source told ESPN.com when asked to characterize the meeting.
