Heh I always thought Chris Mullin would make a great coach. Surprising dearth of NYC-metro area accents in NBA coaching right now.

the williamsburg basketball nets

Also figured David Robinson would get into coaching at some point? The players like Dwight need someone who is smiley, affable, and could saunter over to Dwight during practice and whisper, "You know I could kill you with my bare hands, right? Just wanted to make that clear." Feel like he did that w/ Timmy his rookie season and he's still too shook not to play hard.

this will never happen btw

Sources: Nets want Isiah Thomas

please be real

would love to see Robinson dressed in an actual admirals uniform each night on the sidelines, w a cool navy cap or something on too

Bring Nellie ball out of retirement

Nice coach troll, was too good to be true.

xps Guess Admiral is too busy dominating the .gif game post-career.

drob would be a horrrrrrible coach, love the dude but he is way too nice

yesss

Jackson's longtime representative, Todd Musburger, told TNT's David Aldridge on Thursday that his client has "no interest in the Nets' job at this time." But a source told ESPN that Jackson would indeed entertain an approach from Brooklyn and that his flirtation with the Lakers after Mike Brown's dismissal five games into the season got him "thinking about coaching again."

classic phil... "not interested but i will entertain ur offer ;-)"

Phil just wants to be the first coach to earn $100 million per season and figures Prokhorov might do it.

Kinda torn about Avery Johnson; have never really paid attention to his X/Os, but dude won a ton of games early in his career & has a Coach of the Year under his belt.

Mike Brown also has a coach of the year award.

I think Mike Brown is a pretty great coach, though :/

great at getting paid

thing is, I think mike brown would be a good Larry brown type coach, go to a lousy team and make them respectable
problem is, both his jobs expected him to win a championship, which was dumb

Obligatory weekly posting ^

rudy t and Kurt Rambis were both just really bad

dont be a kobe apologist, i prefer to pin them all on him

From that Time piece:

"Head coaches may be hearing all this talk about how 'we're all in this together,'" says Jeff Van Gundy, former coach of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets and now an ABC/ESPN analyst. "In reality, not really. Unless your name is [nine-time title winner] Phil Jackson, [four-time title winner] Gregg Popovich, [21-year Utah Jazz coach] Jerry Sloan or ['08 champ] Doc Rivers, if you lose three games in a row, you're instantly on the hot seat. I really do believe that."

Sad world where even SVG sounds naive. RIP Jerry Sloan

why is brooklyn's three-letter acronym "BKN" when it so easily could have been "BRO"

rough night for harden, danny green hands all over the place

more like BROKN amirite?

if thabo went to the nets, he'd be listed as BRO-Sefolosha (SF)

bro, ny

omg yesssss it all makes sense, aj getting fired bc he wasnt down with d-will's obsessive my lil pony tublrs, jerry sloan, same thing
thru the looking glass

That Spurs 1st quarter was straight up ridiculous.

incredible job by the rockets hanging on

Brian Windhorst ‏@WindhorstESPN
Mikhail Prokhorov decided to fire Avery Johnson last week but got in some heli-skiing first in Canada before pulling trigger.

this is like the 80s

wonderful danilo things have happened

srsly tho stern needs to unilaterally ban headbands, label it "the Dwight rule"

god kill me now for missing gallo's 39 tonight

dude they're replaying it later DVR that shit

i checked the box score at dinner and he only had like 5 in the first quarter iirc, he must have gone off late

jrue is playing some nice d on steph

it's funny how LMA is bigger than dwight
