a lil of it

"CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired Mike Brown, the team announced Monday morning.

The Cavaliers had a midnight deadline Sunday night to fire the head coach or pay him his full $4.5 million salary for next season.

Cleveland was ousted from the playoffs two weeks ago by the Boston Celtics, who upset the NBA's top regular-season team in six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert made the decision to fire Brown after an organizational review that began following the Cavs' exit from the playoffs.

ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher first reported Brown's firing."

This is funny cause 2 weeks ago the owner was saying he was keeping Brown and Lebron was saying he liked Brown... I guess the lil cry baby gets his way behind closed doors.
