i believe before theat series even started, the talk was how this 8th seed, the warriors, was a bad matchup for the mavericks and how they had a legit shot to compete with dirk and em. so it wasn’t like the mavs got blindsided. the playoffs were about matchups, it wasn’t a bad coaching job by very.

How are you a bad coach if you take a not very talented mavericks team to the MBA finals?

Why is every post on this site about the Nets so negative. I understand they aren’t necessarily contenters for a title, but when the team is battling for 3rd in the East with Williams playing atrociously pretty much all season, this article should be positive. The perennial all-star point guard is FINALLY playing like the max-player the Nets signed him to. Teams should begin to worry about the Nets. Stop hating on a team just to hate. Look at how they are playing and then judge them.

Williams isn’t a bad guy, he’s just uncomfortable in front of the mic.

A lot of players would come off poorly with a spotlight shined on them constantly in a place like Brooklyn. Dude’s just a basketball player, not an entertainer with that kind of personality.

So did Avery get fired because of ankle pain?

Ankle injuries are the most painful leg injuries there are. All your weight is on them. I tore my acl in high school and still finished playing the game.

But when I broke my ankle a few years ago???

Not to question his drive which Im sure is why he still decided to play all season on some bum ankles. But if you can’t walk off the court to the locker room or up your stairs at what point do you say, “I am injured, I need to rest and heal”. Dude had like three cortisone shots, he prolly fine now cause he cant feel his ankles at all, they swimming in cortisone. Plus is his ankles were that bad he should have said something earlier instead of talking about his coaches system and been honest from the jump.
