Slammed
As someone who has ripped both Stephen A. Smith and Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, it is a strange feeling to see one ripping into the other. But Gilbert essentially said today what I had wanted someone to say ever since Smith arrived on the scene.
Gilbert never mentions Smith by name, but it's obvious that Smith's allegations didn't go unchecked by the new Cavs owner.
Smith reported that Gilbert passed notes to coaches about which players to play:
Obviously, that is completely false. Can you imagine an owner doing that? It is so absurd, you have to laugh at it. Then again, the "ESPN Entertainer" who said it is the same guy who made up the story about "Jim Paxson being fired within 48 hours" when it was completely untrue and never even discussed here at all. He is also the same guy who made up stories about "LeBron's mother not liking the new ownership team." This guy, lets call him "John A. Doe" is an entertainer, not a journalist. Most people who know basketball realize what a phony this guy is and how he primarily blurts out fantasy on a daily basis.

Wow. I have wanted someone to slam Mr. Smith for YEARS. Who'd have thought it'd be the owner I'm so suspicious of?
