Green didn't EARN Zbo's spot... and everybody on the team knows it which is why he didn't start he been playing bland basketball. Harrison who should be in the dleauge next to Baldwin didn't earn TA's spot either.

Fizzledale waits till the end of the year to start changing and "shaking things up" with the lineup but for some reason starting Zbo isn't an option but rolling Brandan Wright fresh off missing games is the best option even tho Zbo and TA has been apart of all these playoff teams.

:yeshrug:

He gotta fall back and let the guys that know know how to play together ride it out till he gets his own guys that can play his style.

A mix of Jam and Z-Bo isn't bad. I will agree Fizdale drops the ball on how he manages it. Like when Z-Bo had it going against Dallas and he took him out. Also they need to get Jam more involved in the offense. And with TA he still not giving no offense. When the last time Memphis had a true SG?


He shook the line up against the Nets not GS or the Spurs. He tried something against a team they should have beat. They was up 12 and blew it. Laid flat in the 4th. Z-Bo and TA supposed to be good teammates so sometimes you have to take one for the team.

You gonna take that huh?


He not gonna last long in Memphis running his dikk sucka like that... people here will make life horrible away from the court. This ain't South Beach...

Wtf is wrong with coaches that come to Memphis that think they can run off at the mouth like they got Phil Jackson resume? From Fratello, to Lionel, to Jeorger they all felt the need to lash out when questioned. Even Tubby been acting a fool the last couple of weeks even tho he does have the resume to run his mouth, but it's not gonna help his local recruiting.

He's made some decisions, but Fizz is 100% right on this one. Mike and Marc are having career years. Zach is a 6MOY candidate. He's allowed Tony to start, even tho he wouldn't on any other team. And gave him backup PG duties. He's basically pushed every right button, and nikkas is turning on him after a rough stretch smh.

Let him do his job. Grizzlies fans really do the entitlement of a Lakers fan, only without the accomplishments:hhh:

:stopitslime:

This guy who hasn't ever been a head coach at ANY level met his first criticism with telling the local media and fans who pay money to kiss his ass...

How does questioning starting Harrison make the fans entitled? They just signed Douglas off the street because Harrison couldn't get it done. And then he starts Wright who hasn't played in like two weeks but proceeds to play Green almost 30 minutes. Along with keeping Parsons as a starter. How is that displaying accountability? He isn't standing behind his word of playing the people that are earning the time.

People letting him do his job but he hasn't been good at it since before the Allstar Break. And part of that job is handling questions without attacking the people that pay to come see him...

:manny:

I wonder how Pera would feel about an empty Fedex Forum and media team that doesn't cover Grizz stories.

That also sounds like a certain team from Los Angeles :ohhh:
Somehow the Grizzlies avoid the hate the Clippers get though. The Grizzlies have been that "up and coming team that no one wants to see in the 1st round" for what seems like 20 years.

Because ya'll play in Los Angeles and have marquee names. The spotlight is gonna be shining on the Clippers but the problem is they've done nothing to deserve those headlines other than play in a big market. Basically the media places them in a tier they don't belong in every year and when they fail to live up to the hype the backlash comes

The Grizzlies are the complete opposite of that, they play in a small market and don't really have any name recognition so there are no expectations.

The Clippers were supposed to be a title contender. But both teams are going nowhere.

I don't know, they always say Marc Gasol is the best big man in the game and Mike Conley is the most underrated player in the game, grind it out defense, etc etc. That they can beat the Warriors and no one wants to face them. Then they lose in the first round and its rinse and repeat the next year.

The Clippers get overrated by a few people but they have been one of the top 2-3 teams every year. Untimely injuries and not being the best team always does them in at the end but people are always saying it's time to blow them up.
