you gotta see the kid for fiz stock
2581557, Luke is in the lead right today.
Posted by Ryan M, Sun Dec-11-16 12:30 AM
2581565, Bwahahahaha. Fuck no, not even close.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Sun Dec-11-16 02:27 AM

Luke has been good at coaching a team no longer interested
in tanking

Fiz has taken a dead that is dead in the water and made
them actually good.
2581568, You don't know much but ok
Posted by Ryan M, Sun Dec-11-16 04:33 AM
2581569, Lakers: Tanked + Kobe tour last year. Not tanking, no Kobe tour this year.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Sun Dec-11-16 07:43 AM

You can add 20 wins off that alone.

Fiz was brought into a horrible situation. Awful. And
he has them good. Their is NO reason Memphis is better
than Minnesota, for example. None.

2581601, relax w the "awful" hyperbole. he got a veteran pg and 2 talented bigs
Posted by guru0509, Sun Dec-11-16 12:04 PM
walton inherited waaay less and was stepping into a much murkier situation regarding the talent level on the lakers

2581590, Lol, this should be the standard response from here on out
Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Dec-11-16 11:07 AM
I personally don't respond at all but if you're going to, this response is about right
2581592, Well put lol. I'd vote for Fiz btw but "not even close" is obvious bull

2581594, Who the fuck has won COY while being 5 games below .500?
Posted by FILF, Sun Dec-11-16 11:30 AM
The Grizz are a half game away from the 3rd seed & folks can't name their starters outside of Gasol/Tony Allen during their 6 game winning streak. Their big off-season acquisition hasn't even played & they lost Conley who was having a career year.

Fiz's decision to bring Z-Bo off the bench & start JaMychal Green has paid dividends as it allow them to matchup w/ mobile/stretch 4s. (Pop fuckin' blew it waiving JaMychal to make room for washed-up Matt fuckin' Bonner )
2581597, & they lost Conley who was having a career year.

averaging a career-high 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from deep and 89.7 percent from the foul line.


just wanted to reiterate this. he was earning that contract

fyi he torched that nut punching insurance salesman who has never got past the 2nd round shortly before the injury

he'll come back, and theyll probably knock the clippers out of the playoffs, again.
2581599, Not sure what it says when they haven't lost a beat w/o him

Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale joins The Vertical Podcast with Woj. Fizdale discusses his long journey, from the crossfire of growing up in South Central L.A., to fighting stereotypes often assigned to young African-American assistant coaches, to his partnership with head coach Erik Spoelstra in coaching the Big 3 to two NBA titles in Miami. Fizdale talks about his impressive 18-9 start as the new head coach in Memphis, how his Heat pedigree under Spoelstra and Pat Riley prepared him for the opportunity and his strong feelings about the gun issue in America’s cities and towns.
