Charles Barkley – “Steve Nash is a scapegoat. I don’t believe Sean Marks. He saw the negative reaction. People were going crazy [Ime] got a job that quickly. Sean said ‘We’re already doing a lot of stupid stuff, why are we going to do something stupid tomorrow?'”

Nah I think it’s a done deal. Did Sean marks really think there’d be no outrage ? Everyone knew there would be
is TNT Inside the NBA now on Tuesdays?
for whatever reason i thought the chuck crew was usually on Thursdays
Love Chuck, he always tells it like it is
common W by the chuckster
Chuck being the one to acknowledge the bad optics of hiring ime again this early is unexpected
fuck Kenny Smith defending Ukoka getting a job this fast – that he should have only had to deal with any punishment from the Celtics? The NBA needs to hand out some discipline here.
Steve is a terrible head coach. All things aside, that part hasn’t changed
I would not bring in Udoka as head coach. Even if the allegations aren’t true– which it looks like there’s smoke to the fire– I don’t see how you don’t wait until everything gets settled. Things are still ongoing with him. He was only fired like less than 3 months ago. This whole thing is a mess.
Gotta love Charles explaining how it is bad optics to sign Udoka, before he serves his full suspension from the Celtics, and Kenny/Shaq just reply with “Well it happened in Boston, so he should be good to go in Brooklyn”… just completely missing the point of Udoka not really facing any repercussions and essentially failing upwards
I’m half-expecting the Nets to back out of hiring Udoka and take the chaos up a level.
Kyrie and KD on their third coach already in Brooklyn, it’s the players not the coach. Nash was always gonna be the scapegoat if it meant keeping both of them in BK. This Udoka thing will be a distraction all of this season and the next season too. The drama and spotlight will be here always
People have been saying Nash was the worst coach in the NBA for the last two seasons. Now he’s just a scapegoat 🙄.
Edit: I’m referring solely to the Nets record so far.
Chuck is the man. Tell it.
This is all insane.
At least Chuck has some sense, these other response are totally a cop out. I don’t understand all the players support of Kyrie.
Him and Shaq both called Kyrie an idiot with serious disdain. I love it.
The Nets might as well sign Miles Bridges, I’m dead ass serious if you’re going out like this you might as well collect all of them. Take Josh Primo too.
I didn’t like that Chuck supports Udoka staying in the league. If his behavior was egregious enough for the Celtics to essentially fire him, then the league is better off. Bad take.
The new studio just look so cold and lifeless. Just me?
It’s the Trump strategy of doing so much stupid shit at once that people get overwhelmed and can’t focus on one thing, not to make it political lol but objectively he was wilding
Kenny spent a lot of time saying absolutely nothing.
I’d pay top dollar for Chuck’s uncensored rant on the Nets. Love him straight up calling out Durant Kyrie and Simmons by name. Fuck those entitled assholes they made the entire league look worse bc of them
Coaching the Nets might be punishment enough. Career-killing if they don’t win.
The Nets should hire someone terrible like Rae Carruth or Oscar Pistorious for a front office position so the basketball world can focus on that, and then they can stealthily hire Udoka, sign Meyers Leonard, and put Thom Brennaman and Curt Schilling in the booth but no one would care because they would be too busy talking about Carruth/Pistorious.
The Nets do not need another toxic personality in their locker room — this is beyond ridiculous.
Nets are a fucking joke, I’d be so embarrassed if I were a fan
