“This didn’t involve the players,” Marks said.

No one fully believes that. As one NBA insider put it — if Durant and Irving wanted Atkinson to still be the coach, the organization would’ve figured out how to make it work.

^^^^

This basically corroborated what folks been saying from jump
True. I was giving marks the benefit of the doubt

We are a lot alike. I been a nets fan since they were the ny nets playing in Nassau coliseum. A long history of l’s. I refuse to trust them but I won’t give up on them

Bro...

You a better man than me

I gave up on the Knicks awhile ago.

I can no longer invest in my own unhappiness. Had to kick the habit. It Was not easy. But I'm better for it. It's a process. Sometimes I feel the pull. And I get tempted.

But them I remember the loneliness and sadness and pain and misery and frustration and disappointment and nausea and the temporary blindness and the vomiting and the anger and diarrhea and heartburn and hot flashes and the rash and embarrassment and the Dolan...

And I snap back to reality

Real talk?

I was offered tickets to the last game in the 200s...

They trying to get me to convert to that Nets narcotic

And turned them down.

It works if you work it.

:lol:

Speak for yourself champ, I'm left-handed and my jumper smooth as butter. Looks like it should go in every single time.:cool:

At the apex of my basketball career, my jump was getting consistent. But I’m wasn’t naturally guard. I was more like a defensive 2/3 and I played 4/5 in high school which was way under size.

I had to learn how to shoot when I got in college. And got decent at it, but very unorthodox.

It’s about to be the end for these Nets
The Nets’ long, strange season could mercifully end tonight, and Steve Nash’s fate may have already been sealed.

After losing Game 3, 109–103, on Saturday, Brooklyn is in a 3–0 hole against Boston. No team in NBA history has ever overcome a three-game deficit in a seven-game series. Only three have managed to force a Game 7 after dropping the first three, so elimination is basically a foregone conclusion.

This was supposed to be one of the most closely matched first-round series, and the Game 1 thriller portended a back-and-forth showdown, not a potential sweep. But the Celtics have asserted themselves as the superior team—and, crucially, have proven to have the better coach.

As Chris Mannix wrote after Game 3, Ime Udoka has coached circles around Nash all series.

“The biggest mismatch of this series is in the coaching box. Ime Udoka is dominating. This is Phil Jackson vs. John Calipari. Joe Torre vs. Grady Little. Bill Parcells vs. Rich Kotite. It’s become embarrassing. Brooklyn’s offense is a steady diet of isolations. Movement is minimal. They set screens to create switches, but in those situations Boston’s defense doesn’t miss a beat. Injuries to Ben Simmons and Joe Harris have crippled Brooklyn’s depth, but five minutes of Cam Thomas in the second quarter can’t be worse than watching a visibly exhausted [Kevin] Durant fumble through the final minutes.
Nash’s job security wasn’t in question coming into this series. Now it would be a miracle if he survived it.

Brooklyn was expected to get some help for Game 4 in the form of Simmons, who was reportedly aiming to make his season debut tonight. But yesterday the Nets announced that his injured back will keep him sidelined. To be honest, the idea of Simmons’s first game in 10 months being a critical postseason matchup seemed absurd from the moment the NBA’s scoop hounds first started floating it. The negatives far outweighed the positives for Simmons. Imagine the hate that would have been hurled his way if he struggled in a Nets loss.

Instead, Simmons will likely make his Brooklyn debut next season for a Nets team that could look much different. Not only is Nash’s future in serious doubt, Kyrie Irving can also opt out of his contract and become a free agent. It’s not farfetched to think that the Nets’ superteam project could be toast with just one playoff series win to show for it.

If a sweep means Nash is gone then I hope our season is over
