greasywheels121 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 He's a good coach, but this was bound to happen. There were plenty of talks that Kidd wanted him out etc. He'll get a job somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 look at carlisle with 50 wins in back to back seasons getting fired the East is just a coaching carousel I'm so glad we got Carlisle in that deal. Thomas just does not do well in the suit and tie jobs. We currently have a 33-13 record w/ a .717 winning pct, best in the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Bad move. As a Nets fan I think this is a bad day. I was at the game yesterday and the Nets blew the meek celtics out of the water. Granted getting swept on the road was unacceptable, but Scott has always found away to get these guys hot when they need to be. Last year for example, the Nets were slow down the stretch, then caught fire and rattled off 10 in a row in the playoffs. Scott is a good coach, and firing him doesn't address this teams needs. If this has anything to do with the turbulent relationship Scott has had with J.Kidd that would be a shame, as great as Kidd is, the needs of the team have to come first.

DBAHO Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Heard rumors Scott's either goin to Orlando if they don't keep Johnny Davis or to Memphis if Hubie finally decides he's had enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
