Why did Lionel Hollins get fired again
- Thread starter C-NICE
- Start date
I swear i thought i was the only one that caught that bullshyt
Because the owner is a young dork. Wasn't he about to fire Joeger in the offseason? Memp will be a mess in a few years. Maybe Gasol shouldn't resign

During the Grizzlies' playoff run, tensions turned to a confrontation when Hollins exploded during a practice session upon finding Hollinger had walked onto the practice court and engaged forward Austin Dayeduring a shooting drill, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.
With the team watching—and with a motive to show his players that he was completely in charge on the floor, sources said—Hollins loudly questioned Hollinger about what he was doing, and why he believed it was appropriate for a management official to intrude on what's considered sacred territory for a coach and team, sources said.
We get hung up on statistics a little too much, and I think that's a bad trait all over the league that's taken place. And the media has done it because it's easy to go to the stats to make a point or to build up a player or tear down a player. Just the analyzing, I see it every time listening to talk show radio. You've got guys spouting off stat after stat after stat. The bottom line is going out and contributing to your team for winning.

Memphis coach Lionel Hollins explaining why the Grizzlies traded away five players, including leading scorer Rudy Gay: “When you have champagne taste, you can't be on a beer budget. It's a small market and I understand the economics of being in a small market."

Fire Lionel Hollins, hire Joerger with the promise to speed up the offense. 3 weeks later they're walking the ball up again. Get rid of Rudy Gay for Tayshaun Prince, trade Tayshaun for the poor man's version of Rudy Gay in Jeff Green. They're hustling backwards.

and you would think since hollinger is this "analytical guru" he would understand the grizzlies need some shooting.
The Grizz lost because they don't have enough shooting. Jeff Green sucked, but to act like Memphis was supposed to beat Golden State is brain dead stupid.

I honest to God hope management is blaming the coaching as much as some of you are. This is NOT on Joerger
I don't think people are blaming Joeger. It's more so, if all he was going to do was play slow down basketball and lose in the second round, then what was the point of firing Hollins. He's a good coach, but he hasn't changed anything.
That's is what the owner and media said. But really it was about money. Brotha Hollins was due for a new contract and had just taken the grizz to the conference finals.
Jokers had Hollins build the team up then hire a dude with a ready made team for him....then new dude was cheaper and won't require a big contract.
As long as Gasol/Zbo are focal points of the team, their style will never be uptemp. Doesn't matter if Don Nelson or Mike D'antoni
D'antoni would of had Gasol out there chucking 3s like his older brother Pau was in LA
If you're good for the company and producing results, absolutely.he disagreed with management , can you disagree with your employer and keep your job?

Pau and Marc take a similar number of 3s. I think Pau is actually still more of an inside scorer than Marc is.
