The Brooklyn Nets' must fail!

 I have limits! And they have just been reached! I have a problem with the "Title Seekers" conversing in the shadows to come together to create a new NBA dynasty. And the Brooklyn Nets are a prime example. The plotting of Celtics misfit, Kyrie Irving, and the star that cast aside any thoughts of joining the Boston Celtics, Kevin Durant , came together in Brooklyn for the purpose to winning a few Titles. They have added Ben Simmons to the mix and are strategically positioned to achieve the goal. Or are they? All three stars are flawed in one way or another. Individually, they are filled to the brim with various superior skills which are yet to produce wins together - let alone a Championship - in our time. Coach Steve Nash was the scapegoat in an NBA League that is now controlled by the star players. Now comes former Celtics Coach, Ime Udoka , the main character in one of the biggest scandals in Celtics history. Speaking only for myself, if this foursome achieves any leve...

With 7 seasons under Gregg Popovich's tutelage, Nets assistant, Ime Udoka, will coach the Boston Celtics

 Well Celtics fans, we are there. Coming as no major surprise, Ime Udoka will take over the reins of the Boston Celtics as head coach. Fledgling CelticsSentinel writer, John Edward James Kaloroumakis wrote prior to the news that Boston needed a former NBA player as coach who can relate to the current roster and light a fire under them.  Udoka spent seven seasons as an assistant coach being mentored  by Spurs head coach, Gregg Popovich . That speaks volumes. If a would-be head coach wants the right apprenticeship, being tutored by Pop would be one of the very-best venues. Like so many winning NBA coaches, the Nigerian native did not have what would be termed an outstanding NBA career as a player. He endured 16 stints at various locations around the planet , and his best season in the NBA may have been with Portland in the 2006-07 season . Here are his stats from that season: 28.6 MPG - 8.4 PPG - 3.7 RPG - 1.5 APG - 46% FG - 41% 3s - 74% FT Those numbers matter little. NB...

Attempting to solve the riddle of Irvings (mis)behavior and Harden trade

Nets coach, Steve Nash, didn't have much to say in his 10-plus-minute interview on the James Harden acquisition , but his response to two questions may tell us a bit about Kyrie Irvings mysterious disappearance and the 4-team deal that reportedly brings Harden to Brooklyn. I have a different take on Nets coach, Steve Nash's, response to the James Harden trade. "We know this is a star's League" has a double meaning. BREAKING Nets Steve Nash talks James Harden Trade and Kyrie situation Pr... https://t.co/KKYVwQxrdu via @YouTube pic.twitter.com/lb6IsJagyr — Tom Lane (@CelticsSentinel) January 14, 2021 The questions asked of Coach Nash were: 1.) "What does a superstar-sort of player do for your franchise?" 2.) "How to you weigh a superstar player versus guys that are home grown and part of your Nets culture?" Steve Nash's answer follows: "We know this is a stars' League." So, what does Nash mean by that?  Do stars determine how ...
