Started the year 5-1, with wins over Golden State and two wins over Houston. And now to give up on a very well-respected young coach less than a month later is really puzzling.

Hah! Tillery has to be the worst beat writer in the league. And the FO hates him, so he never breaks any news.

Tillery blocked me a long time ago. He's knows about as much as jamammy.

Not a big Lebron guy, but I agree.

We aren't healthy. Depending on Mario to play big minutes. Not sure where all this disconnected from players is suddenly coming from.

Quicker than Tillery usually is. Somebody must have woken him from his nap.

I don't even see it on Tillery's page. How can he not have said anything by now?

RE: Fizdale Fired
Woj's ESPN story: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21589...erim-coach

"The Grizzlies are on an eight-game losing streak, dropping to 7-12 on the season and Fizdale's tepid relationship with All-Star center Marc Gasol reached a low point with Gasol's fourth-quarter benching in a loss to Brooklyn on Sunday night."

Bickerstaff had to take over for McHale after just 11 games just 2 years ago in Houston. Now he has to take over for one of his best friends.

Ummm, nothing about Lebron's tweet mentions anything to do with race.

Besides, what are you gonna do if he does? Complain on the internet? LOL

You don't bench Marc Gasol for Deonta Davis in the 4th quarter of a game that was winnable, when on a 7 game losing streak.

That was a dumb move and in the NBA dumb moves like that get you fired.

No but other people's comments on his tweet are making it about race. As well as responses to Dwayne Wade's and ESPNs tweet regarding the firing. So, that's why I said what I did. And if he does, I'm gonna state that I don't think it is about race. Not complain on the internet. Because I'm not a baby.

Here's the facts: Fizz put in DD for Gasol with 3:05 left in the 3rd Q, Grizz losing by 17 points, 72-55. With DD in for rest of the 3rd and to start the 4th, Grizz went on a 22-10 run and cut the lead to 5, 82-77, with 8 minutes left.

I would have put Gasol back in too, but watch a ton of NBA games, and lots of NBA coaches go with the hot hand. Pop does it all the time in San Antonio. If this is the reason to fire a coach, I worry more about Wallace than Fizz.

I'm now very worried about this season. I'd say the panic meter went from about a 5 to 9 today.

Me too. Count on the Grizz for entertainment during the winter months. Nothing fun about this.

Yea they cut it to 5 and then Brooklyn hit a couple of shots and that's when I would've put Marc back in.

Add to this the fact that Fizz and Marc have not gotten along at all. The Stars of teams run things in the NBA and if a Star wants a coach gone then the coach will be gone.
