It's been a heck of a year for David Blatt, hired in an unprecedented move by the Cleveland Cavaliers after two decades as the premier coach in international basketball, suddenly becoming the coach of superstar LeBron James, who elected to return to the Cavaliers after four years in Miami and then coaching the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals for just the second time in franchise history.

Now he just has to hope he isn't fired next week.

He probably won't be, but no one around the NBA is willing to bet on it.
