Memphis Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale did not hesitate to put the officials on blast in his post-game press conference after a shocking free-throw disparity against one of the most inside-the-paint oriented teams.
The rookie coach spared no feelings, rattling off stat-after-stat while constantly asking himself why his team wasn't getting to the line with the same consistency as the San Antonio Spurs during Monday night's 96-82 Game 2 loss.
Twitter immediately reacted to his epic, table-slamming rant.
I didn't care about this series, but after that press conference I'm an instant fan of David Fizdale, he kept it 💯

Fizdale is expected to receive a hefty fine following his comments, showing that entertaining rants like this one don't come cheap.
Fizdale about to write the league a check. Memphis has some valid points.
