Rivers slams Cavaliers for firing Lue

His

head shaking, Doc Rivers said Cleveland firing Tyronn Lue “makes no sense” hours after the coach became the first to lose his job this season. Lue coached the Cavaliers to an NBA championship in 2016 and three consecutive NBA Finals appearances. The Cavaliers lost LeBron James in free agency to the Lakers and lost their first six games this season.

“It’s awful,” Rivers said on Sunday. “I think what it shows you is, go to the Finals, win it, go to the Finals three years in a row and come back and get fired.”(Agency)
