HE GONE
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/stor...starting-14-14
The Brooklyn Nets have relieved Avery Johnson of his coaching duties, general manager Billy King announced Thursday.
Johnson, who was in the final year of his contract, was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for October and November following an 11-4 start. But the Nets have won just three of their last 13 games in December, prompting the team to go in another direction.

I was thinking last week that this might happen after Deron Williams said something about the offense.
Contributor
I said before the season started when everyone was hyping this team up that they wouldn't be all that great. Another middle seed in the East.
wonder how much Prokhorov offers Phil Jackson
Aka another Atlanta Hawks?Originally Posted by AD23forMVP

Coach of the Month November, fired in December.
Somebody didn't like him very much.
Contributor
Soooooooo, that makes 2 coaches Deron Williams has gotten fired now?
GM of the Year
Dunno if its true or not (i dunno the inner workings of what happened in utah or bk) but it does seem that way.
Just sad.
Contributor
We was coach of the month in October and November, only reason he is gone is because DWill complained about the offense.
Contributor
Pretty sad huh? Dude couldn't wait to get rid of Sloan and his system, and ever since he has he's been a very overrated player. Maybe Sloan made him look better than he actually is?
Watch the Nets suddenly play amazing. One off the biggest reasons I hate super teams is the power they hold.
The inmates running the Asylum. As Metallica would say... "Sad but true"
Monty Williams is 6-22, Avery Johnson was 14-14. Seems to me the wrong coach was fired. Bring Avery back to New Orleans!!!!
I'm sure if Monty had that lineup then the nets wouldn't be 14-14
Contributor
Good God, I hope this is meant to be a joke
Contributor
I think Benson knows this is a rebuilding team. Monty came into a not so fortunate situation from the very beginning and now he and the FO are trying to build it up.

He/they used 4 exclamation points, they are not joking.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Billy Kings interview with the press, he literally said "uhm" at least thirty times in his opening statement.
