Dan Gilbert, who gobbles up real estate like a kid devouring candy, likes to have people think of him as a winner.

So it may come as no surprise that he could take no more, and fired Byron Scott as head of his lowly NBA team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Frankly, things haven't been the same since LeBron James left Cleveland and migrated south to make the Miami Heat a championship team.

Scott was fired after three years as coach, where he chalked up a 64-166 record.

The Plain Dealer writes of Scott:

Though his teams were decimated by injuries in all three seasons -- starting center Anderson Varejao did not play more than 31 games in any of Scott's seasons -- Scott came under fire this season for a number of in-game decisions about substitutions and timeouts, among other things.
