"This narrative of our coaching situation is truly ridiculous,"
Griffin told reporters before the Dallas Mavericks' 109-90 victory
over the Cavaliers. "It's a non-story, it's a non-narrative. Coach
Blatt is our coach, he's going to remain our coach. Do not write
that as a vote of confidence. He never needed one. It was never a
question. So don't write it that way."
Sources told ESPN.com last week that there was a growing level of
worry within the Cavs organization about Blatt and his ability to
reach the team. However, Griffin rejected the notion that Blatt's
job was ever in jeopardy.
 "No change is being made, period," Griffin said.
