Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue is now a perfect 5-0 for his career in postseason series, and he’s taking the opportunity to puff out his chest a bit.
After the Cavs won Game 4 over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday to complete the first-round sweep, Lue had this funny quote about LeBron James’ historic success in Round 1, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.
Ty Lue with a funny line when asked how it's possible LeBron has won 21 straight first round games dating back 5 years: "Great coaching."

Something tells me that Lue wasn’t just complimenting Erik Spoelstra and his own predecessor, David Blatt. It helps that James always manages to secure a top-two seed in the Eastern Conference, but Lue is probably just glad that a sweep to open the playoffs has taken the spotlight away from some of the drama the Cavs faced towards the end of the regular season.
