Fisher should have been fired after the Trip to Utah. Had Phil replaced the dude, our record would have been much different

It's tough to perfectly time when you fire a Head Coach. Sure Phil could've moved a bit quicker but really that's a tough call to make. No one really wants to have to change coaches in mid stream. It's a tough call and I really can't fault Phil for giving Fish every chance to get his act together before making the change. It's not a good look for a President of GM to have a quick hook.

There's still time to get back into the mix for a playoff spot. Small margin for error but there is still a chance. I think Rambis might just get this team rolling. This team has suffered from really poor execution in addition to Fish making poor in game decisions. A combination of better tactics and in game decisions could push this team to where he needs to be and maximize the talent we do have.

there were a number of nails in the coffin. losing to the nets. losing to the celtics and particulalry letting them crush inside after orlando gave us a blue print to pack the paint. i thought Phil was patient but ultimately you need accountability. And i think Fisher was too tolerant, forgiving of losses.
