They fired Bickerstaff because he lost the locker room. His offensive playcalling was terrible and very limited and Mitchell did not get along with him nor did a few other players. I find it hilarious when you get sports analysts don’t know what they’re talking about

ESPN finding any reason to bring up the Lakers in debate question lol

Cavs have better roster, easier conference, less national expectations more cap flexibility— but Bron fanboys are butthurt their adopted Lakers aren’t being seen as the best option

Gotta love when ppl who havent paid attention to the Cavs all season pretend like they know what theyre talking about. Any Cleveland resident will tell you Bickerstaff's firing was obviously gonna happen.

SAS looked uncomfortable when doggy brought up Bronny😂

This is what kills me about Stephen a. When he was asked if bronny was ready for the nba he said “not yet” then proceeds to say he hasn’t seen him 😑

A lot of women that come on First Take I can’t stand or listen to usually, but Andrea different. And her voice is not annoying!!

Jeanie Buss is overrated. The Lakers have been a mess since the great Dr Buss died. Winning 2020 was a rare exception to our mess the last 10 years. Its time to admit the lakers are no longer the organization they once were.

Dude Bronny averaged 4 Points, 2 Rebounds and 2 Assists..he ain’t got no business being viewed as an NBA prospect. And we all know why he is though..

ESPN STILL saying Spyda isnt staying in CLE even though all signs point toward him staying.

Mad dog has no idea what he's talking about 1) when did Mitchell flirt with the knicks ? All the noise has been generated by media people citing anonymous sources saying he wants to be in nyc 2) jb was not fired for the celtics series. If you haven't watched cavs basketball in the last 3 seasons just say that 3) bernie bickerstaff is jbs father 4) cavs fired blatt 8 years ago and ty lue wasn't fired he stepped down for mental health reasons then decided to leave

Did Mad Dog say Cavs fired Bernie rather than JB.

Cavs are a young and upcoming team with a bunch of young players that are willing to be coached. Forget about the city, just on a pure basketball standpoint Cavs coaching job is the better choice than Lakers

@juliusmoore2176 13 days ago

I find it hard to believe that SA hasn't seen Bronny play?
@quentingartside2166 13 days ago
