We shouldn't have even been playing in the play in. Willie lost games all season that he should've won because of his coaching. Its time to move on

Thats just unacceptable as a coach.

He'll sit there and get out coached and do nothing but sniff his top lip.

Good point. Bottom 5 head coach for sure. To have never won a game when entering the 4th trailing is truly remarkable in the modern game. frick Willie Green.

Losing winnable games

if we win even half of the games that we lost after having double digit leads at some point in the game, we are at worst the 2 seed right now....

and this is why Willie Green has to be fired... he is in over his head as an NBA head coach... nice guy, good assistant, but he's just not HC material

Not a shock but per usual you're REALLY fricking stupid.

Blame Zion but not the worst head coach in the NBA by a mile. Yeah you're correct.

If you need to keep an extension a secret, it wasn’t a good extension. Why else would Griff feel the need to sweep that under the rug? Because he knew he would get backlash

Looks like dumping those season tickets was a good move. This is just like the sAINTS. Run by people that accept mediocrity, at best, and don’t give a crap. The entire culture is infested.

Yet winningest team on the road for whatever reason. Starting to think those were fluky lucky road wins and tbh we're just not really that good.
Both Grizzlies home losses earlier this year were complete meltdowns

Losing the San Antonio game while sitting Zion for a minor finger injury was so stupid. Cost us so much more with this extra game

So many losses you can go back and say they should've been wins. All the blown 20 point leads in the first half. Then we managed to go through 83 games and not have a single 4th quarter comeback. I really don't understand how anyone can defend Willie with all of those things playing out.

Yes. Yes, it is. The complete lack of consistency in performance of our guys is on Willie. Unfortunately, because of our increasing win totals through his first few seasons, I think he buys himself another year.

Yet the coach and GM were rewarded with contract extensions.

I promise you I’ve been on the Willie sucks train longer than you. Doesnt change the fact Zion struggled to keep his wind and had to be load managed up until frickin February. The fact we started rolling when he got in shape and played like an MVP should make you want more from him.

You sound like an emotional pussy, hope you got some rest

Yeah I don’t know why both can’t be true.

I am not sure I am as down on Griffin. I think finding a small market coach is probably difficult.

Willie just sucks and we should move on. Outside of last night I haven’t really felt we were even or had a coaching advantage.
