Nets: Nets Fire P.J. Carlesimo

[Expert]

At least the Lakers try to put out a good product. Eastern big market teams just take fans' money and give them ty results.

[Stabula]

Why would Phil Jackson take the keys to such a ty franchise full of bloated cancerous contracts? Phil Jackson thrives on having superstars with coat tails large enough to ride on to the Finals. He'd be a good Miami coach.

PJ is nothing special, but there's nothing he could have done to improve Billy King's GM skills..he couldn't have implemented a compe ive gene into Deron Williams's brain, and he couldn't force Joe Johnson's shots to go in..

It makes sense, though..they don't have any flexibility to improve the roster, the coach was the only possible casualty..

They have Humphries expiring..

when teams lose, the coach is always the one to blame, players know that

[AaronY]

Looking forward to see what horrible albatross contract Billy spins that into..

[InRareForm]

like clockwork in the NBA... gotta put all the blame on one thing. Making a move to make a move to justify doing something about it. same ol

When a coach is as re ed as PJ Carlesimo, they deserve some of the blame, tbh....

How is he re ed? Half the players don't even look like they want to be on the court. Joe Johnson had 6 points from 2-12 shooting. He gets paid $2 million to give that kind of ty performance? Barkley is right, if they win they praise the players, if they lose they fire the coach. How many times has firing the coach and getting someone else ever made a difference?

It boils down to being stuck with $40million in overrated players for salary. At what point will Williams take responsibility and not try to play the coach card.

[ElNono]

that was quick

[DMC]

Hey, on NBA 2K13 the Nets are almost always in the Finals.

[Clipper Nation]

How is he re ed?

Carlesimo is a flat-out re ed coach, he thought Durant was a shooting guard back when he coached the Sonics/Thunder

Not to mention he also kept all two of the plays that the guy who got fired before him ran and had zero idea what floor spacing is.... I don't think the Nets will be going anywhere with this roster, but at least with a non-simpleton for a coach, they could be a perennial second-round exit instead of a perennial first-round exit, tbh...

Its PJs fault the players aren't tough

[Latarian Milton]

at least the nets managed to defend NY's honorific le as home to the most/biggest garbage contracts.

[Latarian Milton]

it's easier to make $ in NY than anywhere else, i mean

[lefty]

lol Vladimir Putin will probably trade Lopez for Howard

[racm]

Insult to the Hawks man. Atlanta took the 08 Celtics to 7. Could you ever see this team taking Miami to even 6?

Horford > Brook. The Dominican is a two way player.

[100%duncan]

TBH that roster sucks and is overrated as . Bad decision imho.
