goalieboy82 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 AP Newsbreak: Cavaliers fire Silas By TOM WITHERS, AP Sports WriterMarch 21, 2005CLEVELAND (AP) -- Paul Silas was fired as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday with his team fighting for a playoff spot after being in first place earlier in the year. Silas told The Associated Press he was called in Monday morning for a brief meeting with general manager Jim Paxson and new owner Dan Gilbert. ``They released me,'' Silas said. ``They didn't think the team was performing as well as it should be and they wanted to make a change.'' Despite having league superstar LeBron James, the Cavaliers have struggled since the All-Star break, losing seven of 10 and nine straight road games, including Sunday's 105-98 loss to Toronto when James scored a franchise-record 56.
