“In the Nets’ Oct. 29 loss to the [**Pacers**](https://www.indycornrows.com/) — one of the last games before Kyrie Irving was suspended — the All-Star guard didn’t just wave off the play called by then-coach Steve Nash. On 10 separate occasions, Nash called a specific play and the scout watched Irving do something entirely different.
That wasn’t simple creativity, something to be expected from the uniquely electrifying All-Star. No, it was double-digit defiance.”
He is a child. Nash may be a bad coach but it’s hard being a coach if you have a superstar who is actively ignoring everything you call. Get Kyrie off the team.

Bro, are u going to keep that same energy with everyone else on the team who lost respect for nash as a coach ? Kd literally wanted him fired, Blake was throwing shots at him, cam ain’t fw him, but nah let’s only blame Kyrie for it right ?
A good coach would have benched him if that’s true
i doubt it was just kyrie doing this. KD looked so disinterested on the defensive end and things changed once nash was let go.
It was like night and day watching him defend vs the mavs, compared to the first mavs game.
Worst coach in the nba is the hill you wanna die on
Nash should’ve been out during the 10 game losing streak.
Kyrie had coaches before. Getting buy in from the players is part of the coaches job.
This isn’t just a Kyrie issue ya know. Look at the team now. Cam is averaging 19 on good enough efficiency, hitting late game shots to keep us close or get us the win, The ball movement looks better than it ever has since the D’antoni season, and we are competing like hell on both ends, best defence in the league past 3 games, and it’s not even close.
There’s a plan in place now to build this team on both ends. Nash had us Isoing for 2 and a half seasons. I don’t wanna hear about him ever again.
He had Cam benched, Yuta wasn’t getting enough minutes, he couldn’t get the lineups right, and all late game shots were KD and Kyrie Isos.
If you wanna understand the difference, just look at the fact that we nearly went to OT with Dallas again, without Kyrie and Yuta, while giving up way less points.
Get off nashs nuts. do you think we would just be hearing about this now if it was true? And what about the rest of the players lol smh
Lol funny thing is, Kyrie blew off an iso play for an iso play
