I think everyone including nash wanted nash out!! Lucky his head didnt explode last week man haha
And this is why I am glad that despite what Stephen A. cried about at the time that these two did not come to the Knicks. I will take what the Knicks have built organically than taking that disaster that was easy to see coming a mile away that the Nets are dealing with. Talent is meaningless if you don't have buy in from everyone.
Honestly their downfalls are the Harden's trade. They should stop being too greedy when they already have both KD and Kyrie. Now they're stuck with Ben Simmons and all the other scrubs.
Steve Nash couldn't coach that team plain and simple. I mean with all that talent there's going to be egos and he knew who was on the team before he took the job the Nets should have hired someone more qualified with some kind of head coaching experience for the job anyway
I remember when the Brooklyn Nets were a fun young core with coach Atkin who is now in Golden state as an assistant also Jared Dubley time and hype emerged but the nets now suck and are not worth watching because of KD and Simmons and Irving
Nash should have been fired a long time ago ‼️ Coaches are in leadership position and Nash wasn’t it!
I like how the media blames LeBron for ruining the Lakers but nobody talk about how KD and Kyrie ruin the Brooklyn Nets that team was fun to watch before KD and Kyrie got on the team. At least LeBron won a championship with the Lakers what does KD and Kyrie have to show for since being on the Nets nothing they just ruin that whole culture. It like a dark cloud
Mad dog: Kyrie hasn't played well.
Meanwhile… Kyrie was averaging 30p 5r 5a before last night's game. lmao
Mad dog clearly doesn't watch.
JJ was born to be a reporter
Lol mad dog only saying that cause he looks like Steve Nash
player empowerment gone too far! b*tch slap to the spoiled!
Lol y’all got Chicago behind Mad Dog what gives? 😂 appreciate the nod to our win last night without saying it directly
Problem appears to be more 'superstar' overempowerment than player empowerment.
JJ IS RIGHT ON WITH HIS TAKE ON THIS
JJ is the man 👏👏well said
The biggest winner from the KD/Kyrie era Brooklyn Nets is the Cleveland Cavaliers! Go Cavs! 😂😂😂
My boy Nash got drunk out of joy he's out of that dump in brooklyn.
Raptor fans looking at the Nets- lol.
Same thing in philly
The Nets just become the Sixers version of “Trust The Process.”
That u JJ
I’m still pissed they traded Jarrett Allen… He might be a huge talent in the future…
This will be funny come April. I'm not saying they're going to the finals but still, they will be fine
JJ nailed it! Lebron has gotten away with it too. All the laker's young talent gone!
JJ is on the money. The Nets had an awesome young, up and coming Team until they gutted it for the "Superstars".
Nash didn't make any changes in the either of his playoffs until it was too late. Against the Bucks, he didn't do anything about Giannis, refused to put a center on him. Bucks had similar physical defense as '21 Celtics and the Nets ran multiple screens for Durant, but they somehow forgot to do that against the Celtics. Nash ran a tight 7 man rotation against the Celtics and didn't make any changes until the FOURTH game when it was too late. The only person who didn't play hard enough was Kyrie, I will give him that. Did Nash deserve to be fired 7 games into the new season? NO. Was Nash a good coach? Can't say he was.
please get rid of mad dog.
So jj gets maad credit for something so blatantly obvious.. both LA teams are also at fault in this type.. clippers trading 6 picks n Shai for pg, Lakers trading a decade of assets for a win now with AD
American sports fan = white people, fake skip bayless not slick
The American Sports Fan? This White Boy is talking about White People! Kyrie and Kd plays hard every Nite! Phuck these Clowns!
Let kyrie do him
Lmaooooo Kyrie and Kd never led a thing . 😂😂😂😂😂 no curry no Lebron no rings
How is kd the best player ????? 😂😂😂😂
Phil Jackson ???? 😂😂😂😂😂 fire him
Finally agreed with JJ
I usually don’t agree with Mad Dog. But definitely he’s right here. And JJ at the end with the mf truth
6 days later its still on Jezz Bezos' Platform 🤣 but yall have the strength for kyrie right? COWARDS!
🤣😂
Good for Steve getting away from those 2 nightmare primadonna's in KD and kyrie
Like Lebron,Chris Webber and others killing off a white coach is a measure of their greatness. Durrant and Irving have just secured their HOF status. Power to the prima donas
Man can’t believe they are making such a big deal about Kyries movie posting!
This shows the double standards of the media and how all these journalists are in the pockets of this who pay their checks with no minds and no moral compass.
These same folks literally speak up for peoples right to freedom of speech when speech is against another society’s or cultures or religions values yet when someone merely posts subtle suggestions making remarks at the IN POWER culture / religion in the west these people tear the person apart like blasphemy laws!
Unbelievable!
The coaches job is getting the team to play their hardest for him/her. He failed at that, is he fully to blame no but its his job to unite/lead the team.
JJ's last comment is EXACTLY what went wrong with the Nets and the Lakers.
JJ Reddick is absolutely right. This guy should be a GM even with no experience because his thought process is amazing. The Nets are the perfect example of bending too much for their superstars.
Those were great takes from mad dog, Jay and jj. First take back in the house.
Thank you Mad Dog! 😠 So tired of Kyrie! I love basketball!
