Strange

They’re been slumping a bit but never don’t remember something like this happening so close to the postseason with a team in the top four or five in their conference

there has to be more to the story internally

Wow! The Memphis must really have a super high bar.. He had the team in 5th place despite players' injuries.

5th in the West is never easy.

Agree - more to it than is being shared.

I don’t care who is in the wings waiting - you finish the season with the person who started it as coach whenever possible if you’re solidly in playoffs.
