Memphis mounted a furious comeback after getting blown out early but ultimately fell to the Spurs, 96-82.

And so it was that David Fizdale joined Allen Iverson, Mike Gundy, and so many more in the Sports Rant Hall of Fame.
So take thatfor data, folks.
Wait — we already said that. But that's how you know a new meme is gold — it gets better with each repetition. (That's not a scientific rule, by the way, but you can take it for data anyway if you like.)
