It was a huge gamble from the jump and a very well known potential failure.

Not rolling with Jacque Vaughn also was a very questionable decision in hindsight since that was the best defense we’ve played since.



KD and Kyrie signed off on Kenny getting fired because Jordan's feelings were hurt having to come off the bench for Jarrett Allen, who is now legit the 3rd best center in the league behind Embiid and Jokic.

Marks looks like a fool for trading him.

Lots of blame to be spread around on several issues, but KD definitely does not get a pass from me. Nash is his boy too.


I know you are frustrated but you are talking out your ass on this.

KD/Kyrie had nothing to do with Kenny. It was mostly dinwiddie and the team as a whole had soured on Kenny. There are 4 chapters of a book with quotes from players to back that up. Kenny left too, he wasnt fired, he resigned, because he as well knew it wasnt working.

Blaming 2 guys who werent even with the team at the time is absurd. saying "their blessing" got him fired is also absurd when it was mutual and kenny left didnt get fired. If you want to hate on these guys go ahead but stop vomiting this nonsense


Lol @ thinking that any coach gets fired without the blessings of two guys who take up most of the salary cap. You're the one talking out of your ass.

Kyrie could kill someone on 5th Avenue and you would try to gaslight everyone on this forum to say that he did nothing wrong

Nash has been the main issue. But those two have both individually **** us.

KD paired up with two nut jobs. Plain and simple. I'm sure he misses Curry right about now.


He doesnt miss curry. and he isnt worried about it... mostly because there really isnt anything to worry about. He will be back healthy. they will have whoever they have and see how it goes in the playoffs.

Nash wont be fired. Harden probably wont be traded. Kyrie is probably back full time by the playoffs. And he likes our chances regardless of seed.

in his own words "its frustrating we havent had much time with the 3 of us, but we know when it counts we will all be on the floor and we can beat anyone"

I think everyone is somewhere between frustrated and exhausted but i dont think they view it as doom and gloom like fans do. they know what they have when they are together and they anticipate that will happen again


You are so delusional. Of course he misses Curry.

Kyrie can't bother to take a shot so he can play full time. Harden has been a shell of himself. KD doesn't deserve this ****.

We shouldn't be fighting for the 8 seed with or without KD. Its embarrassing. This team is a disaster.

I think there is more tension with this team than you would like to believe. This isn’t a championship team even if Kyrie comes back full time. They don’t click on the court and really haven’t all year. This won’t magically go away.

If we lose by 30 to the Celtics how can we beat anyone anymore?

Is Harden really going to make that much of a difference to this **** team?

Thats what we have now. This team +Harden. Except when Kyrie plans on occasionally showing up.

How many losses in a row will it be? 10? 20?

Like what is the plan to win any games ever. Seems like we have none.

Nash doesn't have to do a thing. Could lose the reason of the way and Marks won't touch him.

Not his fault. Blame Marks. Blame Nash. Kyrie is sitting at home right now while Patty is out there with rookies and g league players.

Nope. That’s on him. That’s unacceptable. He could’ve played better regardless. There’s no excuse for not playing the game on the schedule hard and with effort under any circumstances. -47 in 21 minutes is a JOKE. Sacramento isn’t that bad.

Nobody died. Let’s try to stop sounding like loser knick fans.


Keep that same energy towards Kyrie who is sitting at home.

1) He wasnt fired, he resigned. it was mutual. everyone who played in that boston game was done with Kenny. he wore on them and spencer specifically was fed up with the lack of defined roles.

2) KD wasnt with the team. We know this for a FACT because there was a book written on it. Kyrie wasnt with the team at the time. There was no "blessing" to be had because Kenny was leaving either way. He didnt want to be there anymore

Kyrie could kill someone on 5th Avenue and you would try to gaslight everyone on this forum to say that he did nothing wrong


The only gas lighting is coming from you. you ignore every fact, direct quote, etc and create fake narratives out of nowhere and run with any click bait headline. and then when things are going good all of a sudden you start saying you were wrong and praising these dudes again.

you would have us believe Kyrie is a selfish person who doesnt care about his teammates, basketball, or winning. nothing could possibly be anywhere further from the truth. And that is coming from his actual coaches and teammtes who have told you that in direct quotes on their own platforms AND was written about and directly quoted in a book written about them from an author who followed them for a year.

I'm sick of Kyrie and Harden no denying their talent but along with that comes their ego's. Some of the players who may not have their talent have proved that they are team players. We have run Patty into the ground but you don't hear a thing from him. I would rather have a team of players with his attitude surrounding KD than these 'Superstars'.

If I’m Harden and not traded before deadline, I won’t play a minute until KD gets back or Kyrie gets vaccinated. I’m not gonna try to single handedly carry this sorry ass YMCA team and risk more injuries.

I mean Kyrie is one of his closest friends and steph is a big part of why he left GSW so.... i doubt he misses them. Especially when the nets are unbeatable when the big 3 are healthy. KD isnt sweating this. that could not be more clear from his podcasts.

the idea he has regrets or misses anyone is absurd

They have clicked more then most teams in league history. the one game they were all togehter full time the beat the #1 seeded bulls by 30 in their arena. they are 13-3 when they play together with an SRS of +18 and a 130+ Ortg. both would be the best all time.

so yeah, of course they click. they just need to get on the floor together. people are mistaking frustration for discontent and projecting their own hate for these players on to the team

You don't know this though.

Steph, Klay, and Draymond are all serious about winning and did what they had to do to be available.

Can't say that about Kyrie.

He could have. its his body and his choice. its not a basketball decision. Kyrie has no control over the mandate or a once in a 100 year pandemic.

and the only selfishness is ignorant fans thinking these players owe it to them to change their personal health/family choices so they can be more entertained watching basketball on TV.

Kyrie isnt a cancer. He was helping us win a title last year before Giannis took him out. Kyrie is part of what little hope we have to salvage this season.

Kyrie has been horrible since coming back. His efficiency has been subpar and he is still playing his usual matador defense. I'd wager the Nets are better off long term with Harden/KD and a bunch of blue collar players than running the big 3 with the way Irving has been playing.

He can't be trusted to even suit up and even when he does, he isn't impacting the game to his usual standards. He isn't any better than Fred VanVleet right now.

You quote books written like two years ago and pretend to have an inside track on how these guys think. The situation has changed. You don't know anything that is going on inside of the Nets just like the rest of us do.

You continually gas light people on here. Kyrie is absolutely selfish by not getting vaccinated. It is a simple, harmless process that takes less than 2 mins. Saying other wise is the thing that is absurd

This situation has gone south and you are in denial

So just admit that you support antivaxxers and be done with it.

There is nothing noble about what Kyrie is doing.
