    Kind of surprised, but not really.

    A lot of talent on that team, to be under .500 and get mopped up like last night against Denver is ridiculous.

    I think whoever gets the interim job is holding it for Ettore Messina, Aito Reneses or David Blatt.

    And none of them would be interested in leaving their teams right now.

    Maybe at the end of the season.

    Some itchy trigger-fingers in the NBA so far this season.

    Not so much in this case: they've been itching to fire Mitchell for a while, but he was having too much success for it to be defensible. It reminds me of how Cheeks was about to be canned and he did that anthem thing and you could practically hear management cursing their luck.
