[rurichie]

Bring in P-Jax or Van Gundy!

D-Will vs Coaches ... 2-0.

Looks like Deron Williams has officially run out of excuses. Time to earn that humungous paycheck....

Phil Jackson will most likely not get hired, the management has never believed in triangle offense to fit this personnel.

Phil Jackson does not take on 14-14 projects. He only comes in when the team is in first place already (east/west) then says "I took this team to the championship"

The firing of Avery Johnson comes less than two days after a critical tweet post-Celtics loss by impatient Nets CEO Brett Yormark.

[NJ Raven]

Don't necessarily think this is all on D-Will, despite the fact he made those comments publicly.



Don't think it needed to be done? I don't think AJ is a bad coach, but the way this ship was headed change was needed for sure.

I think this team is an overhyped .500 ball club.

Reggie Miller trolling LOL

@ReggieMillerTNT
So will coaching change for Nets improve Deron Williams shooting percentage??

[JOhnnyTHaJet]

I'm a bit upset with this move. Deron under performing shouldn't be put on Avery.

[Lindystud36]

Interesting Idea; Shaq is from Jersey...

Id rather see Calipari come back! Then trade Brook and Marshom for DMC and Tyreke

[John Walls Era]

It was overdue IMO, Nets were going nowhere with Avery. Jerry Sloan anyone?

You're joking right? I hope you're joking.

[Hellcrooner]

Uncle Phil to end his coaching career where he ended his playing career?

I think this team is an overhyped .500 ball club.

I think they have the chance to be a playoff contender given they improve the coaching situation, add key pieces, and gain chemistry. It wasn't going to be a one year thing, and I think the Nets really hyped themselves up way too much and ended up falling flat on their face.

Not all on Deron, Avery lost control of this team that were headed for a downward spiral, simple as that.

[netsgiantsyanks]

we'll really see if it was avery sucking *** or d-will underachieving. i think it was a mixture of both.

WFAN said Nets targeting Van Gundy or Jackson.
