Avery Johnson fired.....

[killa kadafi191]

Also don't forget the Nets fired Avery before they played the Cats and Cavs two winnable games. Imagine firing Avery after they win two games?? After that the Nets play in San Antonio and OKC.

Games no one is expecting them to win.

So when is the perfect time to fire avery???

Getting blown out by the Bucks. A game both Deron and Hump missed but should be back tomorrow.



I don't care if the guy has "Nets" across the uniform. Bullshit is bullshit.

The Brooklyn Nets have no history outside of this season as far as I'm concerned...I haven't rooted for a bball team in close to a decade so yes I was glad to hear the rumors of the Nets coming to BK and finally seeing it come to fruition...you don't like it? Too fuckin bad for you. I'm loving the team just fine tho

NO!!!

The first sport team I ever followed... were the Yankees...

And I followed them because my uncles and Grandpops used to watch them...

For me... It's about the team... NOT the location...

Yall dudes follow for location... without taking into consideration... the organization...

Now I know it's Brooklyn... BUT... They are STILL THE NETS...
I mean, say what you want about the Knicks but... The Nets history is WAY WORSE... And that's something that a location can't change...

See killa
I told you Nigga

I told you

I'm like Craig and u like pops

I told you Nigga

U ain't tell me shit

 

[LSN]

Point any of his comments out that were like Deron's

Now you're just being petty and childish...a coach killer is a coach killer...and you have 2 on your squad end of discussion...you can argue about which one is worse on your own or w/ someone else...that's a silly point irrelevant to the one I'm making which is you can't shit on Deron when you have Kobe + Dwight Howard who are coach killers as well

Hey... You can root for whatever team you like... My thing is... THEY ARE STILL THE NETS... They could have moved to... LA... BOSTON... SAN ANTONIO... OKC... or MIAMI... THEY STILL ARE THE NETS...

And just because you choose to ignore their history... doesn't mean they don't have one...

Just know... You can ALWAYS COME HOME!!!!...

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Don't worry

Y'all gonna give flip Saunders a call on Friday and y'all will be good by monday

 

[LSN]

Brooklyn is always home...something you don't seem to get and why bringing up the franchise's history in NJ is completely irrelevant to me...but if you wanna get into some history up until the last 3 seasons NJ has experienced far more success than the Knicks in the last 12 years...and this season in Brooklyn the team is already on the path of righting what has gone wrong in recent years...I'm not worried one bit...Johnson needed to go...the team just stopped playing for him during that slump we hit...I just hope we find a good match...that was always the issue...getting rid of Avery but replacing him w/ who? I still think we'll be better than a lot of the teams of niggas in here talking shit come playoffs...season is still young

Saunders is ass and should never get a head coaching job again

 

[Sirius BlackNY]

Dam how can u go from coach of the month to unemployed. They don't give people time they just want results period. I don't know what coaches would go there they know that if they don't produce for a team that hasn't produced they can lose their job why take that risk. The NETS are NOT the Lakers. The Lakers have won championships. I'm still not agreeing that they fired Mike Brown, but I can see why they want results because that is what that team is used to. The NETS have been to the finals twice and have not really done anything but move to Brooklyn and you don't give Avery a chance? I don't get it Killa called it when D Spill criticized Avery was the beginning of the end for him.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Killa called it but damn who knew it would be so soon

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Deron went to the principle to tattle on the teacher

 

[conspiracy Bro]

How it went down behind the scenes

 

[shaddyvillethug]

The nets must knoe they getting a big fish

All my niggas telling me Phil got next

 

[LegalMoney]

Word is Phil is interested in that Godfather deal if they offer it to him. But thing is he won't coach. Probably Brian Shaw will be HC and Phil will run the Nets.

Even though I despise the Nets, that would be a banging situation for Brooklyn!!! A proven winner in the front office who can manage personalities. It would put fire under the Knicks ass which is great because they forced us to raise our play this season.

We saw this coming!!

How it went down behind the scenes

Exactly how it's done in Brooklyn

Ice pick you on the corner of Flatbush and church in broad daylight and nobody won't even know

 

[Deacs]

dude was 60-116 as the head coach for the Nets.... he was way past life support anyway.

Sad to see him go though,

now that I think about it... why the fuck people are listening to Herman Edwards either?"

[Sirius BlackNY]

Props to Killa knowing Avery time was up also props to Shady. D Spill keeps getting a pass. when the whole Dan-phoni thing went down the media crucified Carmelo Anthony. D Spill instead of taking some responsibility for his own game, and trying to be a leader of that team, he throws Avery under the bus (the second coach) and the media doesn't mention a thing. They all put the blame on Avery. They need to change the name to the Brooklyn Darren Williams. I believe D is the type if they don't play well he will demand a trade we'll see how this goes

"After repeated clashes with star point guard Deron Williams(notes) and a belief he had become undermined with ownership, Jerry Sloan resigned as the Utah Jazz coach after 23 seasons, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
...at least two Jazz players feared that the coach and star could come to blows – even though the confrontation ended before reaching that point."

This bitch ass nigga almost came to blows with a 68 year old man...

Bet you never hear a rumor about him being near blows with Avery. Avery would fold that half-a-cac up like a lawn chair.

 

[footloose]

wow, i knew i seen some shit wit avery last night and the subtitles said former nets coach

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Bet you never hear a rumor about him being near blows with Avery. Avery would fold that half-a-cac up like a lawn chair.

And the only reason he would have dropped Sloan is cuz he was a damn senior citizen, heard he was a tough player in his prime

 

[X-Man26]

So Kobe got Phil fired

Not fired but he made it clear that it was time to move on. Kobe threatened to sign with the Bulls if Shaq and Phil returned. Phil was so pissed about it that he dissed Kobe at length in his book!

Charles Barkley, Shaq blast D-Will

TNT analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal blasted Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams on Thursday night. Following Nets coach Avery Johnson's firing, Barkley said it's time for Williams to "put up or shut up," while O'Neal said he needs to "look in the mirror."

“This is the first time I've heard the guy with the ball at all times say that he doesn't like the offense. My advice is for him to look in the mirror and see if he's doing enough.”

-- TNT analyst Shaquille O'Neal

"He's got the reputation of getting coaches fired," Barkley said. "Whatever happened in Utah [head coach Jerry Sloan resigned], it happened. Whatever happened in Brooklyn, it happened. This is all on Deron Williams right now. It's time to put up or shut up."

"Sometimes before great players point fingers, they should look in the mirror," O'Neal said. "This is the first time I've heard the guy with the ball at all times say that he doesn't like the offense. My advice is for him to look in the mirror and see if he's doing enough. At times, I think he's trying to do too much. There are only 24 seconds on the shot clock and he spends 10-12 seconds dribbling between his legs. He needs to get everyone else involved and himself involved. ... He's not really playing that well."

Williams responded to Barkley and Shaq's criticism on Friday.

"That's how things go nowadays," Williams said. "As soon as something happens, somebody's gotta take the blame, and I guess that guy is me. I can't fight everything that's being said, and i'm not gonna try. I know my teammates have my back."

Williams already had told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith he knew he'd get blamed for Johnson's ouster following the team's 14-14 start but said it wasn't his fault.

“This is all on Deron Williams right now. It's time to put up or shut up.”

-- TNT analyst Charles Barkley

"First of all, I have not had one conversation with [Nets GM Billy King] about not being happy with Avery, wanting him gone, etc.," Williams said. "It's not my fault. But as soon as I heard the news, I knew what was coming. I knew folks would blame me, would assume that it's history repeating itself because of what was said about Coach Sloan and me after he resigned.

"The last thing I would want to do is get Coach Johnson fired. Any coach, for that matter.

"Coach Johnson is a big reason why I came back to the Nets this summer, along with Billy. I enjoyed playing for him last year. We never had a argument or a fight. We never got into it, on or off the court. I don't even know why people would assume that."

Bullshit Deron, bullshit

 

[LegalMoney]

Bullshit Deron, bullshit

This nigga is getting crushed in NY media. I don't think he's built for the media scrutiny. For all Melo's shortcomings, he's built for the criticism and accepts it as the unquestioned face of a franchise.

In NY even if you win you got to take your lumps in the media. The only player immune from criticism in the City is Derek Jeter. Eli won two SBs against New England and watch if the Giants don't make the playoffs. He will get blasted again.

Deron needs to stop talking and trying to explain himself. Take it all on the chin, say you will do better and leave it at that.

I'm telling you Woj is writing up that ETHER and he already dislikes Williams. He better be ready..

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Bullshit Deron, bullshit

total fucking bullshit

now he's pulling the beaten down woe is me of course everyone wants to blame me bull.

Deron you were the one who said you didn't like the system to the MEDIA nobody made you say it.. YOU did voluntarily.

With everyone else, its speculation and we have to try and connect dots and things because they never actually go out publicly AGAINST the head coach

but you actually did.

and then he gets fired

and you say that it's not your fault and it's the last thing you want to happen to a coach who you openly and publicly criticize?

yeah ok buddy

It means nothing that he may have never actually went to the front office and said the exact words of "fire Avery" or anything of the sort

He said he didn't like the system and I'm sure he was informed that Avery was getting let go and as the face of the franchise please believe he had say in that matter

 

[cheyisrameyah]

I am not a Jazz fan at all, but I am a Bulls fan and I remember my uncles talking about Bob Love and Jerry Sloan when I was younger so I have a built in respect for the guy.

I'm not going to quote the entire article Sirius BlackNY posted, but the last sentence, "I don't even know why people would assume that." really sticks in my craw.

When someone like Jerry Sloan, who had been coaching the Jazz damn near as long as this dude has been alive, is sick of your shit and says fuck it, I'm out, I'd rather fuck with a John Deere than Deron Williams. That should really tell you something about yourself.

Then to do an about face and say you enjoyed playing in the system of the man who couldn't put up with your shit while at the same time fucking over the dude you is part of the reason you wanted to stay with the team you are currently on, is pure bullshit.

I hope the NY media lives up to their rep and takes this dude to the cleaners. I want the NY media to be unmerciful in regards to this guys shenanigans.

I don't know why people would assume that, GTFOH dude. I feel no sympathy for the drubbing he is about to take in the media.
