Jacque Vaughn is out in Brooklyn
Last item real quick the Nets as in the Brooklyn Nets have fired Jac vaugh as its head coach just a few hours ago um the Brooklyn Nets fired him on Monday morning team announced the former NBA guard was in his second season as the
Coach of the Nets who are now 21 and 33 and sit in 11th place in the East just a game out of the playin tournament the Nets ended a disappointing first half of the season with a 50o loss in Boston in their final game before the allstar
Break in two plus Seasons as Nets coach vaugh was 71 and 68 in the regular season but 0 and8 in the playoffs getting swept twice he replaced Steve Nash a season ago before going 43 and 32 and getting swept in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs
Listen I don’t like the fact that he was fired I understand that Shawn marks and them had to do what they had to do didn’t have the pulse to the players was nose diving um we get all of that my problem is is that he inherits a mess
Because by the time he took over for Steve Nash James Harden was on his way there but looking to get out the second he could CU he really wanted to be with Daryl mury Kyrie Irving was causing all types of problems at that particular Moment In Time some understandable some
Self-inflicted and Kevin Durant was by his Lonesome and so when I look at it from that perspective it does have me lamenting the status of jacqu vaugh from this perspective what if he had gotten a job originally when Kyrie was there and Kevin Durant was out and then Kevin Durant was
Supposed to be um coming back which he ultimately did what if Jac vaugh was the one coaching the team when Kevin Durant size 13 should have been a 12 and a half so his foot would have been behind the three-point line and he would have hit
That three in a game seven that ended up being a two and they ended up losing that game what if Kyrie Irving hadn’t hurt his ankle um and ultimately watch as Kevin Durant dropped 49 in a game G five that was a must-win for the Brooklyn Nets at that particular moment
What if that had happened I’m looking at the fact that Steve Nash who never coached on any level a day in his life got an opportunity to have that head coaching job but Jac vaugh got it when nothing but chaos rained I feel sad that he lost his job I
Understand that Shawn marks and him felt that the time was right to do what they needed to do I just wish that Jac vaugh was given a better hand initially in getting the job instead of being called upon to clean up a mess that couldn’t be cleaned up

SAS wrap one of those bands around the swollen ankle!! š¤”
There are folks who try to do a Denzel /Blake change of scenery switching, picture change! The movie šæ Ricotta
Stephen A he wasnt good man
SAS he was a bad coach man . Black blue white gold. His offense sucks. Just watch the games !
Brooklyn keeps getting new coaches š
In the world of SA all the coaches in the NBA will be black.
The 18-19 roster was a solid Nets team.
Is Steve Nash even trying to get another coaching job? Did they waste a coaching hire on someone that doesnāt want to be a coach?
Itās a shame. He seemed committed. Even his beard was Nets colours.
That 18-19 Nets team was mad solid
Until those injuries came around and KD got hurt
What if ownership didnāt chicken out and appointed Ime Udoka instead of Jacque Vaughn altogether
Stepehen A Smith I hope you read this why are you so BIAS? Yes I know you're not racist but ALL your opinions are Bias!
Call mark Jackson
He wasn't the coach when they got swept the first time.
The nets organization is disgrace Ben Simmons could have been a leader of the nets if he got his act together but never will. And they need to give mark Jackson a two year contract to change the team around. If that donāt work then replace him with someone.
Hire Mark Jackson
Itās like asking a chef to make a gourmet meal with dollar tree items
Donāt worry Stephen A, Kevin Ollie is taking over and heās black so youāll be alright!
Stephan A Vaugn is 0-4, he wasn't head coach when they got swept by the Celtics, he also wasn't head coach when we had James harden, these are simple facts that you somehow don't know. Do you're research
COACH WAS SWEEP 2 TIMES IN PLAYOFFS TIME TO GET MARK JACKSON AM JUST SAYING LEGENDARY SAS
Uh he took over at the end of 2022. He didnt take over when harden was there š.
He was trashā¦benching starters after first quarter trying to reinvent the wheel
DONNIE NELSON CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THE MAVERICKS IS GOING TO TRIAL.
DONNIE NELSON IS ALLEGING HIS NEPHEW WAS SEXUALLY HARRASSED AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY JASON LUTIN AND THIS RESULTED IN DONNIE NELSON BEING FIRED. JASIN LUTIN WAS CHIEF OF STAFF FOR MARK CUBAN. STEPHEN A SMITH HA SNOT REPORTED ABOUT THIS LAWSUIT.BUT STEPHEN A SMIT DID REPORT ABOUT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT LAWSUIT AGAINST DWIGHT.HOWARD.
THIS DEMONSTRATES A CONTINUING PATTERN AND PRACTICE BY STEPHEN A SMITH OF RACIALLY DISPARATE REPORTING THAT PROTECTS WHITE PEOPLE IN SPORTS , WHITE ATHLETES ,WHITE COACHES AND WHITE GMS AND WHITE OWNERS. THIS IS WHY I CALL STEPHEN A SMITH A "JUDAS JOURNALIST "
Remember Sean Mark the GM also inherited the mess of the former GM Billy King and did a good job of cleaning up the mess with those big names but COVID really ruined the team and Kyrie has a right to refuse the vax.
Didn't like JJ energy on the show. He's always in a bad mood and it sounds distasteful. Be happy to be on the show. Next time, tell him to take a dump and get the Bull Sh** out of him before he starts talking.
STEPHEN A SMITH.LETS TALK ABOUT
1.DONNIE NELSON
2.JASON LUTIN
3.MARK CUBAN
4. LAWSUIT FILED BY DONNIE NELSON I WHICH HE ALLEGES THAT JASON LUTIN IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR
Lol SAS is having a crazy take. If it was such a bad job Vaughn shouldn't have taken it.
I heavily disagree with Stephen A. Bro knew what he was walking into with that mess they had going on. Iām sure they asked him can he fix it and Iām sure he assured them he could. He has to be accountable if he didnāt fulfill his part.
That team is trashš no coach is winning with those players š
