Unlike most people, Cavaliers Dan Gilbert would like to put the past in front of him. On the sidelines, specifically. Cleveland has rehired Mike Brown to be their coach. Brown, downsized in 2010, is trying the job on for size again. He returned for second stint on Tuesday, agreeing to a five-year contract. "To me, it just fits perfect like a puzzle," gauged Gilbert*, whose team has been trying to pick up the pieces since Brown's dismissal. What's puzzling is why Brown was let go in the first place. Cleveland made the playoffs in all five season Brown was at the helm. Three losing seasons in a row were enough to prompt Gilbert to rejigger the jigsaw.
Maybe after Brown's new deal ends, he'll rejoin the Lakers for five more games. Or, perhaps LeBron James, in a remorseful "Re-Decision," will come back his old club in 2014. That's about as plausible the cast of cult comedy Arrested Development reuniting seven years later to produce new episodes. Wait, that's happening next month? We're Gob-smacked. We guess you can never say "never" (but feel free to say "never nude" as much as you'd like).
*If said puzzle was given up on, taken apart and then forgotten for several years.
