I’d rather Jacque Vaughn coach the Nets. I’m done with Nash.

He’s not going anywhere so I hope he learns from this and figures out how to make adjustments and not be married to his rotations and game plans.

I think as long as we’re healthy we win in spite of him. But if an awful starts means we get a better coach then I don’t mind.

With the big three rested and loaded, it’d be difficult to get an awful start..If we did, I would not mind a Rick Carlisle.

Or promote someone on the bench like Udoka.

Nash needs to go

I cannot will not support any coach who exiles both their bigs and the bench.

Whoever coached for that can **** off

I don’t like some of his decision making in game 7, but you really lose credibility when you put all the blame at his feet.

The players like him, there are no ego issues cropping up, and we improved throughout the season as he got more comfortable. Our defense got dialed up to an 11 in the PS after being doubted all season long. We just couldn’t keep up our offense because 2 of our best players got hurt. It’s hard to blame him for that.

I think he got a little too influenced by MDA and shortened his rotation too much, and it led to tired legs by the end of the game. But we don’t really have people you can trust. I think Shamet should have gotten the majority of Joe’s minutes...but Shamet has flamed out badly in the PS before too, no guarantee he actually does better, and I’m pretty sure the coaching staff prefers Joe on defense and on the boards, and feel that he can be more explosive than Shamet once he hits a shot and gets going, it just never happened.

Claxton is a rookie that was making a lot of mistakes when he played. I love his defense and his impact on the boards, but he wasn’t that effective overall when he played. I’m ok with Nash not trusting him, it’s hard to. TJ has also been super ineffective the last few times he’s been out there, I don’t think people are remembering too clearly here. Stupid fouls and bricking shots, basically just like Joe, except he doesn’t have the track record that Joe has had all year, so he got Nash’s trust, and to Joe’s discredit he miserably failed at coming through when needed.

I mean, a rookie big man, Shamet, and Johnson aren’t really great alternatives to what we already had. Not like the dude had someone like Dinwiddie or Clarkson off the bench and elected to go with a struggling Harris and Harden instead of them. The alternatives weren’t exactly lighting the world on fire, so he went with the guys that have been huge for us all season.

It didn’t work. Some of that is on him, but a lot of that is on the players that he trusted, especially Harris.

And if we extend it further, you guys are really willing to give crucial minutes in a game 7 to guys like Mike James or TLC or Alize? Like, I really can’t harp on Nash for playing a shortened rotation here tbh, we really didn’t have great options coming off the bench.

The Bucks did the same thing in terms of their rotation. They played their starters nearly all the minutes.

The difference is the Bucks didn't rely on two guys who were offensively handicapped.

Harden couldn't move. Harris had a mental breakdown.

If either of them show up we win. Instead 2nd option was **** Bruce Brown.

The only thing Nash did wrong was continue to play Harris so much. But I think he just assumed we needed Harris to come back for us to win. And he may have been right.

If Harris had a vintage game and made 5 3s we win this game easy.

With all that said, Nash is not a good coach. Budz probably made more mistakes than he did. But I don't think hes a handicap.

Hes really just there to manage KD, Kyrie, Harden's ego. Which I think he does well.

I don't understand why Vaughn never got the job. What makes Nash better than him? He had no experience before and he didn't do a good job this year. Nets win on talent purely and that's not good enough. You need a proper coach.

Nash sucks but I thought he did well last night. My only gripe is that he gave Joe Harris way too much leash. I would have gone with Harden/Brown/KD/Green/Blake. I felt Green got a raw deal last night. 13 minutes to Harris' 47. Harris failed to live up to his end of the bargain.

I give Nash a vote of no confidence right now. It should not have taken until game 7 for him to focus the offense on mismatch hunting with Durant and letting Blake defend Giannis mostly 1 on 1 while keeping Middleton covered. He is too slow to adjust.

He should not have leap frogged Jacque Vaughn, but I will be honest as well: Having Harden pull up lame in Game 1, and Irving taken out on a dirty play by Giannis, were two hard hits that this roster was not built to recover from. Nash did not cost this team a title, it was very circumstantial. Had we had both Harden and Irving healthy this series ends in 5 games. It is no coincidence that once Irving went down the series tipped in Milwaukee's direction. I'm so pissed about what Giannis did, that I seriously hope this **** er receives karma for what he did to Kyrie. That right there was worse than any mistake Nash made in the series.

Nepotism and privilege. Nash did not put in the time to learn whereas Vaughn has paid his dues.

Marks made a huge mistake.

Is it a mistake or did he really have a choice? I remember he kept referencing the ownership, so Nash hire was probably ordered from the top with the instruction from Durant.

I’ll just say this about Nash. For a team that was known as the deepest team in the league he sure didn’t show that in the playoffs. In fact he went the complete opposite way. I thought this was the biggest factor in this series. The two games the bench played the nets won easy. The rest of the games they barely played and it was a struggle. I think this led to the three point shooting struggles. Every shot was short and that means tired legs.

I know teams often tighten the rotation in the play offs. But you don’t have to. And they tighten not eliminate completely. He completely eliminated one of the nets biggest strength.

I kinda hope D’Antoni takes the job in Portland. His influence was clearly all over the team this year.

That would be a huge boost. I don't want MDA any where near our bench next season.

He and Nash are a package deal, if MDA goes Nash has to go aswell.
