Cavs reportedly dismiss Brown

Basketball Betting Lines

05/24/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have reportedly fired head coach Mike Brown.

Several media sources reported the firing early Monday morning. The move comes less than two weeks after the Cavs lost a decisive Game 6 to the Boston Celtics in their conference semifinal series.

ESPN reports the Cavaliers faced a midnight deadline on Sunday to fire Brown or pay him a $4.5 million salary for next season.

Brown, the 2008-09 Coach of the Year, had spent the last five seasons with the Cavs but went trough two straight disappointing playoff runs. In 2009, Cleveland made it to the Eastern Conference finals before losing in six games to the Orlando Magic. This year the Cavs had the NBA's best record at 61-21.

Armed with two-time MVP LeBron James, the Cavaliers had been expected to contend for a championship, as the team won 61 and 66 regular season games, respectively, the past two seasons. Brown, though, was never able to match the playoff success he had in 2006-07, when Cleveland advanced to its first NBA Finals before succumbing to the San Antonio Spurs in four games.

This season, the Cavaliers acquired four-time NBA champion center Shaquille O'Neal and two-time All-Star forward Antawn Jamison to help improve their chances of winning. The move backfired, however, as Cleveland lost three of the final games in their series with Boston -- including two at home, where the Cavs lost only six times in the regular season.

Overall, Brown posted a 272-138 regular season record with the Cavs and a 42-29 mark in the postseason, the most playoff wins by a coach in team history.

The Cavaliers face the prospect of possibly losing James to free agency this summer, but the move for a new coach could entice him to remain with the organization.
