He was using the bench horribly
the move didnt seem a bit calculated to you all?
Are you fukking kidding me. Avery's rotations where awful. Dude had Swag and Tele buried on the bench.. And the starters quit on him. Never mind his politicking within the Org.
I am going to go out on a limb and say you have not watched more then 2 nets games this year. That can be the only excuse for this god awful thread.
fukk you're a awful poster.
He didn't get fired because he lost to shytty teams, so even if he had been able to do well in a stretch against them, it wouldn't have proven anything. The team tuned him out and the games were all too similar (go up early, blow the third quarter, proceed to lose)
If it was calculated to be do anything, state what it is. They're still paying him. They have an interim coach they're bound to replace. Avery's not a great coach, but part of why he got fired was that they couldn't fire D-Will.
“Of course, many of us were surprised to see what happened in Brooklyn. From my perspective, Avery’s not a good coach, he’s a very good coach. He’s a hell of a coach. He’s proven that. There aren’t too many of us out there who have ever won 67 games in a season. He’s taken a team to the Finals. If my memory serves me correct, he was Coach of the Month. It sort of shows what a fickle, volatile business we’re in. We all know that. Avery knows that, too.
“You think about coaches … I believe Dean Smith, they did a little effigy in his honor in the beginning when things weren’t going well. Johnny Wooden had a rough patch in the beginning. Mike Krzyzewski, arguably our best coach we have in basketball today, things didn’t go very well in the beginning. He had an AD who was smart enough to know what he had. He exhibited a lot of patience, so now you see where Coach K is. I think we all understand that. But circumstances, especially in the NBA, have a whole lot more to do with firings than how well or how poorly a coach did. It’s unfortunate. But we all move on, including Avery."
He is an awful coach. It's really that simple. They thumped OKC in OKC too since they
