The latest Nets coaching news highlights the turmoil in Brooklyn.

 Nets Coach Steve Nash is apparently out! Many could see that coming. Now is seems that former Celtics Coach, Ime Udoka is close to taking the reins in Brooklyn.


Things are happening very quickly for the Brooklyn Nets. Their so-called Big-3 of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons certainly have the skills to earn the moniker, but Durant now has the "malcontent" label - Irving draws more attention by his virtual desecration of the spoken word than his play on the court - and Simmons just can't seem to get his mind or his game straight.

Out goes Nash, a scapegoat in all of this - and here comes Udoka - a wise, strong-willed coach with (at least) what some may call a personality flaw. Does the Brooklyn ownership really feel that this foursome will work out successfully? My dear God, I certainly hope not!

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...

He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team.
