Top 10 reasons why the Clippers fired Mike Dunleavy

10) After seven years of more or less abject misery, somehow lost faith in his abilities

9) Dunleavy didn't bring the same zing to his work, now that he couldn't screw Elgin Baylor anymore

8) Club found out how he personally crippled Blake Griffin

7) Being 110 games under .500 as a coach left him with nothing more to prove

6) Seeing as this is the Clippers, one has to assume that they had to pay him, or offer medical benefits, or something

5) Axing Dunleavy is the only thing that could get Baron Davis to try again, or Bill Simmons to re-up his all-important season tickets

4) Kept drinking the last cup of coffee without starting a fresh pot, even after being confronted about it, and his TPS reports were always late

3) According to the team's press release, they want to win now, which represents a sea change in philosophy

2) When LeBron James doesn't sign with them, the club wants LBJ to be able to turn them down with a straight face

1) Owner Donald Sterling jealous of how Dunleavy was becoming even more hated than he is
