It's better to be silent and thought a fool than you open your mouth and remove all doubt.
It's crazy how you manage to bring James harden into a conversation where he doesn't even belong. You are such a hater it's ridiculous
The 1 year suspension should be held across the board.
russillo: i believe in second chances….unless my overlords are unhappy….then i cut all ties and condemn
Debunked? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
What we have learned is America the capital of Israel and if you say anything that questions it your cancelled, you can shit on any other religious group and nothing happens
The 1080p HD designation is the wildest part about this video.
Why should any other owner care if Ime slept with some Celtic owners wife? Lmao unlucky bro the Nets just want a good coach
Ime should stay put
A season seems reasonable given thatās what the Celtics determined to suspend him for and they have the details. How else is the public supposed to act? Nets immediately hiring Ime is basically them refuting the Celtics judgement of his actions.
Talk about something else other than kyrie nobody cares talk basketball please
Disco mix absolutely no sense. Itās his objective opinion and heās acting as if itās an actual fact while criticizing Kyrie Irving for feeling superior. What makes his opinion superior? When you make a career talking about other people in a category as it is in Michigan to sports. How much weight does your opinion really hold and how credible are you? This Russillo guy has a massive superiority complex while providing a little to no value to anybodyās life except his own.
The Celtics have now lost the players trust. Brown is going to sign with the Brooklyn Nets during free Agency and the Celtics will NOT win a chip with Tatum leading the way.
Talent>consequences
One of the few things still essentially associated with a college education. Is being able to determine between good and bad information.
I swear KD showed up in Brooklyn, witnessed the toxicity of Kyrie and said to himself āI wanna compete with that.ā
Theyāre the most pathetic team this century.
I donāt even think Udoka needs a āsecond chanceā as far as we have been told he has done nothing to squander his first. If the relationship was consensual like we have been told, and we have been told almost nothing else, then why does everyone think heās this bad actor? Ok he cheated on his wife thatās not great but, thatās a personal thing and he isnāt the first and he wonāt be the last. As of what we know it looks more than anything to be a result of the Celtics higher ups having a problem with WHO he was fucking which should not matter to anyone else. Add the fact that the Celtics didnāt just fire him, they suspended him for a year with the intention of firing him after such that the man canāt go to work and itās the Celtics who look bad in my opinion since they refuse to release any more details
Mr Russillo, thanks for having the best NBA takes in the world. this is what people need to realize! player empowerment all fine and well, but if your players dont wanna play you cant do much as a coach, gm or owner. imo, what KD and Kyrie did to the nets is almost malicious intent. grabbing all those checks and dont give back any commitment or "winning ways" that they were supposed to learn from the warriors or lebron.
i mean, im a knicks fan so tbh i dont mind it. i remember being sad, about them not joining the knicks back then. it was a blessing in disguise.. not saying the knicks are great. but im more content with what we have, than i would be with those 2 clowns on my team. such bad leadership holy moly
No! They donāt need to tell you what happen at all! Just like every other coach who get fired itās nothing new. Nets not the Players are required to answer the question of what happen to any of you at the end of the day the ownership fired him
So if someone gets fired or suspended by their finance/construction/real estate/retail/manufacturing company, another company in the same industry can't hire them for some period of time? Really? Because that's what a lot of you in the comment section seem to think
ANY team that employs Kyrie will always be a hot mess. Period.
Ryen saying "Western Conference Finals" instead of East was so apropos.
I always felt like I've seen this before, it's OKC with a PHX offense.
Pretty hilarious how everyone mad at Kyrie for posting a documentary but no one mad at Jeff Bezos and Amazon Prime for having the documentary on the platform
No theyāre not a complete mess, they are completely fine. Yāall are the ones blowing into up! Because Kyrie speaks on something yāall are not comfortable to discuss. They have the same record as most other NBA teams. Yāall are just mad
Has the documentary actually been debunked or is everyone just calling it racist
This is a mess because you reporters made it mess. Kyrie has spent this entire time saying he didn't say anything you guys are putting blame on him for. You have a lot of energy for him when it comes for anything bad about the holocaust when actually he didn't say anything of that nature. Why can't you reporters have the same energy for slavery how thousands of white man killed millions of my people. Where is the energy for that. š¤
If Ime didn't assault, harass, or anything of that nature then who cares it shouldn't even have been made public if it was consensual. Just fire or suspend him.
Blow it up, you tried and it didnāt work.
Lost me at āterrificā owner. Thatās very presumptive. Seems mediocre at best. Wishfully washy on their word. Nash had a good record so he doesnāt deserve to be fired at all. Why did you hire a coach that NEVER coached before? You hired a name. You said that this is bigger than basketball yet they did nothing but make a statement and throw some cash. Did the owner ever sit down with Ky like he said? Like I said: mediocre
Let's be honest… Kyrie legit the dumbest niqqa on earth
What makes Nash a bad coach?
He had a 5 man lineup with 4 40%+ 3pt shooter and no spacing. He had 77yo Goran Dragic on the field when a stop could have won him a playoff game. Do we need further evidence?
Nash/Celts apologists all throughout the comment section
Who cares what is or isnāt right for Ime? Why are the Nets bringing this on themselves? They are trying to hold Kylie accountable for his behavior while hiring a coach who was suspended for improper workplace conduct????
Based on the information that we all have at this point, Ime did nothing wrong. Millions, if not Billions of couples or lovers have met at work; does it go against their work place policy? Yes. Is it realistic? No. If it was consensual as they reported, then letās stop acting as if he raped a child and move on šÆš He will be great with the Nets š
I believe in 2nd chances but Kyrie on about 5 lol.
this thing about defending Nash's firing is stupid. He says that people can't point out reasons why Nash was a bad coach, but talk to any Nets fan and these reasons are obvious and understandable beyond "the stars played too many minutes". Nash never knew when to use challenges or call timeouts when the other team was on a run, and he was horrible with adjustments, especially on the defensive end since the Nets primarily use a switch everything scheme, which led to bad matchups involving the small lineups he likes to run. The offense was too reliant on isolations, he couldn't get the right players on the right spots which led to poor spacing, and encouraged the stars even more to fall into bad habits. He was also unable to get the attention of hte players, if you see videos of him in timeouts they barely even looked at him, and it was often that the team exited timeouts, even in clutch time situations, with no set plays to get the team going. It is apparent to everyone who watched Nets games, Nash may not have been the sole culprit of the team's performance, but he certainly magnified their issues.
Yeah well tell somebody to give me a second chance then cause nobody will hire my ass and all I got are misdemeanors of distribution of marijuana
Feels like it's just a matter of days until a Hong Kong or Uyghur tweet, tbh
I remember the good ol days where āhey, Iām Your coachāālisten to me. Maybe I can teach you something.ā At every levelāāMEANT SOMETHING.
ITS A MATTER OF RESPECT
THIS DAY AND AGEā-DOESNT EXIST. UDOKA ISNT AN ANSWER. YOURE NOT GOING TO MAKE THESE PEOPLE HAPPYā-no matter what you do. No one respects authority. And thatās the problem
Iām so sick about hearing how far KDs foot was off on. Shot years ago. He miscalculated, misssed the shot, they lostā¦ā¦. Move on :/(
Blow the team up! They can't win with this core.
