Grizzlies FIRE HC Taylor Jenkins weeks before the 2025 NBA Playoffs

[triplehate]

He had 2 2nd place finishes in the West and his star can't keep himself healthy. Was he the greatest X's and O's guy? Ehh... but to fire the guy 9 games before the playoffs is a bit ridiculous unless he completely lost control of the locker room

They were the Vikings. The beat up on bad teams and got destroyed against every good team.

i know I only watch one team so it's easy for me to see this, but they have been frauds out the gate. If the Jazz didn't bench their starters after half time the other night they were about to lose by 30.

I can't name a non tanking team they beat since January

He’s a tread water coach but he’s absolutely no worse than most of the head coaches in the league right now

 

[MikelArteta]

And Nick Nurse is still employed

[doris] one of the best coaches in the league, he's an innovator [/burke]

Nick nurse is a garbage coach still living of a box and 1 from 6 years ago

For people who keep asking why he was let go.......please watch how this fool operates in situational basketball

 

[Doctor Doom]

Nick Nurse and Doc Rivers still have jobs btw

He would do well with the Spurs as they have a lot of young developing talent and aren't in win now mode yet.

They traded for Fox and it's highly likely they max him this summer. They are definitely going to be in win now mode next season. Not championship or bust mode but making the playoffs is an absolute minimum for the Spurs starting next season and every season fox and wemby are on that team.

Not to derail the thread but it's funny Fox gave an interview basically saying he wanted out of sacramento cause they didn't win enough and the one team he demanded to go to was a team who for the last 3 years won less than the team he was on

I remember watching a YouTube video about him, how he had made questionable coaching decisions late in close games that was costing the Griz games. So I’m not surprised.

Edit: that’s the vid, holidayinn21 posted.

Yeah, if you don't make that decision by the ASB and even that's kinda late, just wait until the offseason.

 

[UpAndComing]

Welp that grizzlies up next era is done.

They good in the West

 

[GoldenGlove]

He seems like he's a great player development coach. Gets guys from anywhere and turns them into rotational pieces.

They beat Houston right before ASB

Something is clearly going on behind the scenes to part ways with the man outta nowhere.

With that said, not to throw shade at him but he's one of the most forgettable head coaches in the league . Most coaches, when you think of them, have a certain style to their coaching, but he's one of those guys where it seems like he doesn't really have a style, sorta like Finch in Minnesota, just riding the bench but pretty nonexistent.

This feels like a sign of the problem: no one is pleased with shyt these days. Like what are you even talking about

I couldn’t make Mark Dagnualt out of a lineup. I legitimately forgot Keene Atkinson was Cavs coach at the start of the season. A coach doesn’t need to be flashy. And Finch made the WCF last year

But nah, new times we need AURA

 

[jay211]

He deserved to be fired. WTF is he doing with EDEY? It was so weird. Sometimes Edey plays, other times he's stuck on the bench.
