^THIS is the reality of the situation.

The excuses have run their course. Nash needs to be fired. Irving needs to get vaccinated. Harden needs to decide what he wants to do by the deadline.


No issues with that and while its frustrating its no cause for concern. Nash does need to go but not based on losing 6 in a row, he has been incompetent since day 1.


Agreed. He should be on the hot seat. If the local media covered the Nets like they do the Knicks, Nash would have been run out of town by now.

Its clear Nash had no idea what he was doing the minute he took this job. Was he really supposed to say no to this opportunity?

What on EARTH was Marks thinking when he hired him. He set him up for failure. He set us up for failure.

It was an unforgivable mistake. He could have easily just signed Dantoni or Tye Lue. Two good coaches who knew what they were doing.

Why did you have to go this bizarre route and take a risk with our team?

The sad part is I think his roster construction for the most part has been pretty good. I still like the talent on this team. The coaching has just been beyond the pale.

I feel like this team has a G League level of preparation each game. We don't look like an NBA level organization.


I think that Marks should also be on the hot seat by Joe Tsai.

Marks couldn't help that Harden had hamstring issues, or that Kyrie would decide to refuse vaccination. I'm not upset at him over stuff he can't control.

I am absolutely upset that he thought that hiring Nash to steer a team with a limited championship window was remotely a good idea, and he owns that 100%.

I have said since the summer that this roster needed one or two more shooters. Marks opted to rest his laurels on our offensive guys being healthy all year, which was foolish considering how bad our health was last year with the big 3. If you are going to sign Bembry, why even resign Bruce Brown, who has no role on the team now that we don't run MDA's offense? Did we need Milsap when we already had Blake? These are really bad decisions.

Marks needs to fix this situation, or he should be fired. Period.

We definitely needed more shooters. The Shamet trade was idiotic.

Still with Harris our spacing would be entirely different. So I can't blame him too much.

The roster overall is very good. I really just think we are playing way below our talent level. That falls on our stars and coach.

-Harden for just being awful and out of shape
-Kyrie for only playing half the damn games
-Primarily Nash for having this team look like ****

People didn't recognize early this season how much KD was bailing us out. He was dragging a bottom 5 team to the best record in the East. He was putting up his best season ever.

First time this has ever happened to me... But I'm done watching this team (well basketball really) for the next few weeks.

Watched pretty much every game in the dark ages of Yi Jianlian, Travis Outlaw and Johan Petro l, etc. but this is honestly more frustrating... Shouldn't be causing me nearly as much stress and anger as it is :lol:

These guys just aren't meeting the weight of the expectations that are on them.

KD was doing some SUPERMAN heavy lifting for this team and helped catapult us to first place. That is now clear.

I don't blame you. This is the most frustrated I've ever been watching this team.

The dark years sucked but at least we had a reason for being bad.

The Deron years were even worse. But it was still just Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. Its not like we were title favorites. Or really expected to beat LeBron.

Now its just pathetic. Like unwatchable.

How many more losses, baffling decisions, terrible rotations, scared to use challenges, zero in game adjustments from Nash needs to happen before Marks fires him??

This is also an examination on Marks. Will he admit he was wrong about the Nash hiring? Will he make trades to fix the roster? Will he finally make a real stand on the Kyrie situation?

Also Harden situation needs to be addressed. I've been on the trade Harden bandwagon since the season started and I'm even more on it now. Giving him another max contract is a disaster waiting to happen.

Someone should tell Kyrie that happens all the time. Both home and away but I guess he wouldn't know anything about home games would he???

Kyrie apparently forgot what an adjustment was.

Since Nash can't do it.

^Kyrie should be getting crucified upside down by this fanbase right now. We destroyed Deron Williams for less.

Two moments that sent this season into a spiral: the Harris injury, and the return of Kyrie. Things got worse right after we had a brilliant Christmas trip to LA. What in the hell is happening in that locker room??????

Fact.

It has not been the same since. Then there was Harden to 76er rumor.

These things are definitely linked.

He's an airhead. I said from the get go to trade him once he let it be known that basketball isn't that important to him.

These are the words of a narcissist incapable of self introspection.

It is not a question as to why Harden has basically given up. I wouldn't want to play with this jackass either.

I don't know.

I still blame Harden more than Kyrie. Even though I blame them both.

Kyrie on the court has still been very good for the most part.

Harden has just been trash. For no reason.

Eventually Kyrie will be able to play full time. What about Harden? Will he ever be good again?
