1. There we go.

   Was wondering what took Shams so long.

2. finally. should have been fired this offseason.

3. I guess this settles if they will announce his name before the game now

4. damn done too late

5. Should’ve happened 2 seasons ago

6. How bad to you have to be to get fired on a Saturday?

7. Sooooo overdue

   Insane it took this long overdue

   Wasted a training camp, preseason, and month of a season with this guy

8. That franchise is ultra fucked

   I really like Queen’s game independent from the trade, but holy shit they need to tear it all down

9. Zion always hurt. No pick. Lame duck coach fired. That franchise is cooked

10. Now fire Weaver and Dumars (I love you Joe but the game has passed you by)

11. Fired too late

12. Damn, I loved what he was doing there too

13. Dw Pels fans the bad man cant hurt you anymore

14. What losing to DeAndre Ayton does to a mf

15. [You do know a man by the name of Willie Green, don’t you?](https://youtu.be/HuXLI_AQ2yE)

16. Woj already leaked it like a week ago

17. About time. I do feel so bad for the Pels having been a fan of a similarly dysfuntional team, its just exhausting.

18. Willie is a good man. I know him personally. Comes to our bar to get crawfish and po boys all the time. Ain’t his fault.

19. Kidd next I hope

20. RIP

21. Where’s Monty at these days

22. This may be the highlight of the pelicans season sadly. What a disaster

23. I don’t think Willie’s a good coach, but at the same time I don’t understand firing him after 12 games. Red Auerbach couldn’t have gotten this group to more than like 3 or 4 wins at this point

24. try being 1-11 instead, maybe you’ll keep your coach 😈

25. Pelicans fans rejoice

26. Pels have to be up there as one of the worst run organizations in sports.

27. It was a bad hire from the start

28. Old news. You got beat to the punch by like 12 minutes.

29. Guess he will have to go back to doing those movies with Rudy ray Moore lol

30. I wonder if they hoped firing him would make him drop first round picks everywhere like an RPG slime monster

31. this was his FIFTH SEASON?????

    jesus christ i didn’t realize it had been that long

32. Call up Michael Malone and start the DQ process

33. Id be surprised if he ever played 42 games with all his starters available. Awful situation. I don’t think he was a bad coach just always was in the position to have to figure things out and never got rhythm
