Take note, Cleveland beat writers: Cavaliers coach David Blatt read your negative stories, and he's just waiting to rub them in your faces. From Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com:

In early March, I wrote about how head coach David Blatt was overusing Dellavedova and how he likely sees himself in the Australian. Blatt remembered that story and graciously invited me into his office for an exclusive interview after the Game 3 victory. We sat on his sofa and that's when, as the young folks would say, he went in. "And you were full of s---," Blatt said in hilarious fashion, referring to that article. "I've been waiting to tell you that for a long time."

On one hand, no one could have seen the feisty, hard-to-spell little Australian being such a catalyst of the shorthanded Cavs' 2-1 series lead. On the other hand, Blatt didn't have much option but to lean on Dellavedova when Kyrie Irving was out in March, and he doesn't have much choice now with Irving out again ... and that lack of choice has paid off immensely. Dellavedova's been a nightmare for the Warriors backcourt, he hit one of the biggest shots of Game 3, and he's probably going to injure someone by the time this is over. Real impact.

So yeah, Blatt's laughing at the haters right now, and sometimes he's inviting them into his office so he can laugh at them in the most intimate setting available. He's been waiting for this.
