MEMPHIS – Instantly, it’s become the GIF that keeps on giving. Clips of Memphis coach David Fizdale’s postgame rant, which ended when he smacked the table, shouted “take that for data,” and stormed off the dais after a Game 2 loss to the Spurs, have gone viral on social media about as fast as Kawhi Leonard gets to the free-throw line. Both Fizdale and the Grizzlies were bracing for a significant fine from the league on Tuesday for comments that included the first-year coach saying “it was a poorly officiated basketball game,” and using terms “unacceptable” and “unprofessional” to describe the conduct of referees.
