The press release goes a little something like this:
The Brooklyn Nets have relieved Avery Johnson of his head coaching duties, it was announced today by General Manager Billy King. A search for a new head coach will begin immediately. “The Nets ownership would like to express thanks to Avery for his efforts and to wish him every success in the future,” said Brooklyn Nets principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov. Johnson was named head coach of the Nets on June 15, 2010. In two-plus seasons as head coach of the Nets, Johnson compiled a record of 60-116.
Assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo will take over on an interim basis effective immediately.
How did you think Avery Johnson did serving as coach for the New Jersey / Brooklyn Nets for just about three years? Do you think it was the right move?

Wasn’t Jay Z just screaming the city is under new management? Talked too soon?

Nets are too talented and their are too many bad teams they’ll recover but -they ain’t fuckin with the Knicks, Knicks, Knicks (clique beat)
Deron needs to shoot better than 39%, what happened to Utah Deron?
that nigga fat now. he needs to drop about 40 lbs.
it’s crazy how everybody keeps calling felton fat when it’s deron who needs to put the cupcakes down.
thaaaat baby!!!
they started the season really well.
don’t know why they slumped all of a sudden.
watch prhokov hire phil jackson by offering him an offer he can’t turn down
Deron just got two coaches fired in a year. Avery was coach of the month in October, November, and gets fired in December. SMH Deron’s bitchass better be on some MJ/Hakeem the dream type shit or New York gonna tear him apart.
Amen!
Hire Hovie Hov.
This nigga here makes Wesley Snipes look white
Terrible decision, lost out on a great emerging coach in the league! It takes years to build a winning club and to have it well oiled with the organization, they didnt even give him a chance.
Impatient stupidity.
Wrong move Nets didn’t need to Mike Brown his ass like that. So what they started losing some games. It’s the NBA you’ll bounce back, the Eastern conference is easier to make the playoffs in anyways compared to the West. Lost out on a good coach.
The team isn’t that good anyways
Broooooooooooook
Lynnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Glad to see these bums getting the clown headlines
