INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Like most kids growing up near
Boston, David Blatt lived and breathed the Celtics.
Cleveland
Browns Jerseys . They were his team, the only team.
Pressing a transistor radio against his ear, Blatt
listened as legendary announcer Johnny Most described how
Bill Russell grabbed rebounds and when John Havlicek
"stole the ball!" At an early age, he was hooked on
hoops. "I kind of had that NBA dream in my ear and in my
heart," Blatt said. And now, its back in his life. Blatt
was introduced Wednesday as the new coach of the
Cavaliers, a team in transition as it prepares to select
first in the NBA draft and make a strong run at LeBron
James, the soon-to-be free agent who has several other
teams making moves to try and get him. Blatt spent the
past two decades in Israel, where he developed into a top
international coach. Now, after winning numerous titles
across Europe and guiding Russia to a bronze medal in the
2012 London Olympics, Blatt is ready to take on the
challenge of coaching on pro basketballs biggest stage.
It was time to make the jump, and the Cavs helped Blatts
overseas leap. "Absolutely its a challenge," Blatt said
of his upcoming transition. "But Ive got to tell you, the
game is not so different as people think it is. Its a
little bit longer here. Perhaps the level of athleticism
and speed all around the court is different. But its not
like playing baseball and soccer. Its still the same
game." Blatt isnt hung up on labels or perceptions. He
doesnt consider himself an Israeli coach, European coach
or any type for that matter. He doesnt favouroffence over
defence. "Im a basketball coach," he said, "someone who
through teaching and working with people and getting the
most out of my players and staff has always seen the
success of the team as paramount." The Cavaliers spent
nearly six weeks looking for their third coach in three
years before hiring Blatt, who recently resigned as coach
of Maccabi Tel Aviv, a squad he led to this years
Euroleague title. Cavs general manager David Griffin said
Blatt was one of "five or six" candidates who had full-
blown interviews and the club contacted as many as 11
coaches. "Hes truly the embodiment of every
characteristic we most sought in a coach," Griffin said.
"Hes a guy who has passion, creativity and intelligence.
As a coach, hes able to adjust in ways that make him
special because of those things. He lives those things as
a man as well. Because of all that, the players all feel
him in a very powerful way. David is an authentic
leader." The team hired finalist Tyronn Lue as an
associate head coach under Blatt. Blatt understands
theres a responsibility that comes with being the first
at anything. He believes other European coaches are as
qualified to coach in the NBA, but hes the one getting
the chance. "I know Im carrying the torch, and I hope
like hell I dont drop it," he said. "I dont plan to. It
does mean a great deal." Blatt was charming, convincing
and self-effacing during a 30-minute news conference at
Cleveland Clinic Courts. Blatt said he had previous
chances to come to the NBA, but the timing wasnt right.
"Somebody told me the reason I did it is because I missed
Boston lobster and macaroni and cheese," he cracked.
"Theres something to that, honestly." Blatt is taking
over a team that went 33-49 last season and underachieved
for Mike Brown, who was fired on May 12, ending his
second stint in Cleveland. Blatt believes the Cavs have
the pieces to be a contender, and that its up to him to
put them together. And that would be the case in any
country. "I find a group of guys that want to be coached,
that want to learn, that care about winning," he said.
"Those are things I have to emphasize with them, that I
have to strengthen and help them understand the right way
to do it. "Ive coached enough great players in my life to
know when guys are happy playing together and are seeing
that doing it the right way brings and fosters the spirit
you need to win, it doesnt make a difference where you
coach." Blatt feels hes finally where he belongs. He had
a great run overseas, but it was time to come back to
where he started. It was time to come home. "I was happy
and fulfilled in what I was doing," he said. "But I
never, for a moment, lost the hope that I would come full
circle and make my way back to the places where I grew up
and to be part of something that was so much a part of
me." Jamie-Collins-Browns-Jersey/">Jamie Collins Jersey .
Milan was held to 1-1 at home by Torino. Cagliari scored
six minutes from halftime when Mauricio Pinilla blasted
home from the penalty spot after Facundo Roncaglia
tripped Marco Sau. The home side could have doubled its
tally in stoppage time as first Fiorentina defender
Stefan Savic almost scored an own goal then Albin Ekdals
shot clipped the top of the upright.
Meder-Browns-Jersey/">Jamie Meder Jersey . Heck, we
might just miss the BCS. Maybe? It sort of worked out
this season. Top-ranked Florida State (13-0) was the only
team to get through the regular season unbeaten, and the
Seminoles did it in dominating fashion.

Emmanuel-Ogbah-Browns-Jersey/ . Raonic, the No. 8
seed from Thornhill, Ont., fired 11 aces and did not have
a double-fault as he comfortably advanced to the third
round at the Masters Series event.ST. LOUIS -- Facing
trouble, Michael Wacha did his best to slow down the
game. He certainly frustrated New York Mets hitters who
had him on the ropes. Wacha escaped a pair of jams with
strikeouts, and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped a fifth-
inning tie en route to a 5-2 victory on Tuesday night. "I
hadnt been doing that in my last three starts," Wacha
said. "It was nice to be able to start making pitches and
being able to execute." Daniel Murphy couldnt deal with
the changeup when he struck out with runners on second
and third to end the fifth inning. "I dont think I swung
at a single strike the at-bat I struck out," Murphy said.
"He threw the ball well to me, and I helped him out."
Murphy wasnt alone. "I dont think there are too many
right-handers with a better changeup," Cardinals manager
Mike Matheny said. "I think thats accepted league-wide."
Yadier Molina hit his first homer since May 24 for the
Cardinals, who have won eight of nine and will go for a
three-game sweep on Wednesday. They have won a season-
best five in a row and are a season-best seven games
above .500. David Wright hit his first homer since May
28, and Lucas Duda also connected for the Mets, who have
lost 11 of 14. "Theres many sleepless nights," Wright
said. "I wont lie and say its easy or it doesnt bother
me, but you have to understand theres not too many
players, if any, that can go through a whole season and
ride that roller-coaster ride a little bit." Mets manager
Terry Collins batted the pitcher eighth, with Eric Young
Jr. hitting ninth, for the second straight game in an
effort to stimulate the offence. During the 14-game
slump, the Mets have scored two or fewer runs seven
times. Daisuke Matsuzaka worked a scoreless seventh
inning in relief of Mets starter Jonathon Niese (3-4).
Matsuzaka left Sundays start against San Diego after one
inning because of a severe upset sstomach.

Jersey. Wacha (5-5) gave up a run and five hits in
six innings. Fanning Murphy preserved a 1-all tie, and he
struck out Ruben Tejada with two on to end the sixth when
the Cardinals led 3-1. Wacha had a career-best 10
strikeouts on April 23 at New York but also had a career-
worst five walks and lasted four innings in a loss. Jon
Jays RBI triple with two outs in the fifth gave the
Cardinals the lead, and Matt Holliday followed with an
RBI double. Pinch-hitter Kolten Wong and Peter Bourjos
added RBIs in the sixth, with both runs unearned after
second baseman Murphy dropped Daniel Descalsos slicing,
looping liner with a man on and two out. "I just
misplayed it," Murphy said. Jay is batting .405 (15 for
37) in his last 12 games with four multi-hit games. It
was his first RBI since May 30. "Hes on a real good run
at the plate," Matheny said. "The way hes taking his at-
bats ... weve seen this before. You just see him go, and
its fun to watch him go." Niese allowed five runs, three
earned, in six innings. The lefty has made 18 consecutive
starts allowing three or fewer earned runs. It is the
longest active streak in the majors, extending to last
September, but he is just 5-5 during that span. Wright
entered the game 3 for 43 in his last 13 games. He leads
the Mets with 34 RBIs, but has just four this month. The
home run was his first on the road this season. Duda hit
his ninth homer of the season leading off the ninth
against Jason Motte to make it 5-2, and Anthony Recker
doubled, but Pat Neshek retired the next three for his
second save in four chances. NOTES: Lance Lynn (7-4,
3.16) faces Bartolo Colon (6-5, 4.15) in the series
finale on Wednesday. Lynn worked eight scoreless innings
in his last start. ... The Cardinals are 20-2 at home
against NL East opponents the last two seasons. ... The
attendance of 42,209 was St. Louis 19th sellout in 35
home games.
