A lot of incidents today. Just now Westbrook got fouled and they had one of those gatherings where everybody is upset and shoving.

Two of those happened in the Nets game.

Came here to post this. I'm surprised it happened this quickly, but I guess either deron or joe pushed for it.

Probably Deron.

I'm sure Prokhorov is writing a blank check for Phil Jackson.. as cool as it'd be to see him in Brooklyn I'm sure it's a pipe dream.

Probably looking at on staff promotion. Unless they really want to go the route of someone like Mike Brown.

i went looking for the 15 FB tickets and I saw. Deron had much to with it.

Why not give Jerry Sloan a try? Let Deron walk up to Sloan and kiss his ass.

I'm sure they will at least give him a call, Pro wants to win and win now. The unfortunate thing is as good of a coach as Jackson he is an oppurtunist so unless he thinks the Nets can win a title he won't take the job.

I hope they go after Phil Jackson.

This is eerily similar to the Melo/D'Antoni drama.

But I think JVG already turned down BK a couple years ago, so I don't think hes going back. With Dwight not signing the extension yet, I think SVG is out of the question. Phil is very very interesting possibility, but I'm not sure that he would commit mid season

Avery battled.

I haven't been overly happy with the job Avery has done. It's a little harsh to fire him this early, but I hadn't seen anything from Avery to make me believe he's a great coach. He won a lot in Dallas, but he also had a great team there.

If the Nets hired Jeff Van Gundy, coaching industry sources believe strongly he would hire Knicks icon Patrick Ewing as an assistant.

I will forever have this vision in my mind

^^ Great picture!

Been quiet in here since Avery left. You guys are 8-1 in 2013, great streak. Knocked off the Hawks and Thunder.

Good luck today, hopefully no injuries.

Hopefully the Atlantic division remains a 2 team race and we can leave out the Celtics who are .500. After this, we won't see you until the playoffs!

My only issue with the Nets is that I constantly have to hear my wife complain that they stole the color scheme of the Spurs. It never ends.

She thinks Stern orchestrated it.

She just does not have a firm grasp on the idea of conspiracies.

Congrats, another game down to the wire. A 7 game playoff series would be fun.
