Lionel Hollins Should Be Fired After Costing The Memphis Grizzlies Game 7
Lionel Hollins basically cost the Memphis Grizzlies Game 7 of their epic series against the Los Angeles Clippers and because of this, he should be fired. I have never seen a coach screw up his rotations so many times in crunch time.
