Chief’s Briefs - Memphis Edition

I agree with the starting lineup issues. Slow start every game this year.
Why did Stewart not play more in second half? Really bad T really bad

Really Bad T? That is underplaying it. That is a coach, literally, losing the game for his team.

Pet peeve is technical fouls. Do it in first half, or, when game is over. Not when it is a tie game. With 40 seconds left in OT. 4 pt possession is a game killer.

Their win probability just cratered there with the T

Any of you whining about Hurley are soft as charmin. Dude wants to win and will do whatever it takes, I love him barking at refs, especially when they suck. He’s old school and has balls, too many beta men out there.

Think we'll be OK. Hurley has been absolutely fantastic, but he whiffed in going after Mahaney for the role he did. He may grow into some kind of role on offense, but right now he's a jump shooter that plays maybe the worst defense I've seen a Hurley player play.

They have the competitive grit. The chemistry just isn’t there and defensive athleticism isn’t there. Need to regroup.

Many say that in private life he is an awesome guy.
I don't like the "WTF is going on?" DH, like the early DH years.
As a basketball coach he gets high grades for his overall work - his bench coaching is his weakest skill to date.

Downgrading him as a person is pretty harsh. The guy is wired tight and it’s visible on the sideline. Doesn’t make him a bad person. The praise he gets from his former players is a good indicator of who he is as a person. I will say that today was the first time I watched him and almost felt embarrassed for him - he was next level. He needs to figure out a way to dial it down, even in the worst of moments. For a while I thought the expos were part of a controlled act, but today made you realize he doesn’t have any control of it.

That's fair, I don't know him nor ever met him. I can only judge based on what I see for 2 to 4 hours a week on the sideline.

Win some lose some. He hit a home run with Tarris Reed!
