Look at Minnesota. They fired Flip Saunders and nothing really changed as a result. They lost a good coach and still won't make the playoffs.
Cleveland will probably still make the playoffs, but they'll be lucky if they get through round 1.

There's more to Silas' firing than just losing.
The team doesn't want to play for him, they have no respect for him.
When he benches Mcinnis for yelling at him, yet lets Lebron get away with it... then the coach has lost the players and that is part of what has happened.
In the end, I just don't think Silas could handle having Lebron and the talent. He was in over his head.
