Honestly thinking about those Boston and Memphis games sealed Kenny’s fate imo. If Caris didn’t go off in the 4th/OT, Atkinson is fired immediately on Thursday.
Funny how everyone's bringing up how great the Boston win was, while ignoring the fact they looked like shyt for 3 quarters, and it took him basically throwing the towel in and playing the guys he refused to play for them to get back in. Then he admitted in the post game he wanted to put the starters back in, and had to be talked down by an assistant. Who would even think of letting the guys back in who didn't come to play?
And ignoring how shyt we've looked for weeks, and ignoring getting embarrassed by Memphis. But we blew out a bad Spurs team so all that's forgotten.
Nets fans have had their issues with Kenny since the beginning, yet if you read these articles and tweets from the media you'd think we just fired Phil Jackson after a 3 peat. Kenny will be great in another rebuild situation, I just never was convinced he could take that next step. And it seems like more than a few people in the organization agreed.
