Hell Bud at this point. You only need to fix the Defense.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

If they're going to fire Grief (thank God they did!) half way into his first season and hire Doc and it doesn't work, they're not going to bring Doc back for another year.

Honestly, while I don't love Doc, I'll take him 100x over Griffin. I'd prefer Stotts or ATkinson, but nothing can be worse than Grief. Glad they did it now but I said after 10 games he needed to get out.

I still think about this quote from earlier in the season. Guess we know who the dark cloud was... Wouldn't be shocked to hear there was issues behind the scenes.

I am stunned and shook. This is wild.

Much to come, but this all but confirms that our key players were not on the Grift train at all.

I will give credit to Horst for cutting bait with Griff sooner rather than later. It's tough to admit your mistakes, but it's good to do it sooner rather than later.

But I hate that we're left with Doc as an alternative. I pray it's a short term deal.

Thankful for AG, he brought us a bunch of new memes. You will be remembered Grief!

They gave Griffin a shot. He was obviously in way over his head. Now we can finally get to work. I understand its mid season, but for the love of everything do better than Joe Prunty.

Woj saying they're going to chose from a small pool of accomplished and available HCs. How about anyone but Doc **** Rivers?

Not a Doc fan but he's much better.

Edens and Horst don't **** around, love it.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It's really the ownership group for allowing him to fire him. 3 coaches on the payroll in a small market is rough

Blatt was fired at 30-11. Granted it was Blatt's second season, but you don't pull the trigger on a move like this unless things are very, very wrong. Now I'm just thinking about Giannis drawing up his own play last night - I think he was completely done with Griff.
