The reason why we are all bashing Avery is very simple. Ever since game 1 of the regular season we have sucked in the second half. Fast forward 10 games and there has been NO improvement in that department. Combine that with us giving up every lead we have ever had, and that tells me that Avery is not the right coach for us. He knows he is in the hot seat. It's better to find someone now then to wait after all-star break.

Well if we wait too long, Knicks will be No.1 seed...

Knicks are already first
If we had a better coach we would be 9-1 right now. A coach with a better offensive system and awareness for lineup situations is what we desperately need. 6-4 is sub-par for this roster. 9-1 looks much better and it was feasible with Avery as our coach. I don't know anymore. The only thing I can say is the last time we lost two in a row we went on a five game winning streak. I doubt that will happen again this time.
Can we just fire Avery already and hire Jerry Sloan? Anyway I wonder if Avery Johnson feels the hot seat if the team does go 8-9 or even 7-10.
Yeah right. His beef with Deron got him to quit after a long ass tenure with Utah, and you think he'll come back to him because he's struggling? He is probably laughing his ass off at Deron right now while enjoying every moment of the team's shortcomings.
Avery's system, if there is one, lacks identity. I wanna ask the Mavs fans about his coaching ability because his resume in Dallas is great, but if I never knew about his coaching years there I would've assumed he doesn't have a clue. But..maybe it's not him. The Nets roster isn't exactly made up of players who are prototypes at their position; Joe is overly dominant with the ball who seems to be taking a back seat to Deron as Fratello pointed out, and Brook is unorthodox as it gets when it comes to center position. We all knew defense was going to be a problem even before the season started, so how can it be Avery's fault? Yes the statistic patterns are alarming, but let's not forget this is a new organization that's starting from scratch, so I'm not for firing him just yet. Main reason is because I don't see other options (no chance with Sloan), but also I don't want us pulling a Laker and fire away without giving a real chance. I'm a reasonably patient man, so I'll give half a season to see if they make any progress.
Impressive closeout in the victory. The Nets defense has been getting better as the season wears on and The Clipper game featured the best third quarter I have seen out of them this season.

same. and i'll take this as a good thing-- avery doing best what he's supposed to be doing best.
good win by nets. i still get the vibe from fellow nets fans that whenever we play contender teams your confidence in the nets goes down. the nets can hang toe-to-toe with any team in the league and win. raise your confidence! the nets need it this year. i love our hca. 5-1 and fans are roaring. road would have been good too if we didn't flake the last couple minutes against la and lay an egg against gsw.
Great game. The arena looks amazing and the atmosphere was 10x better then all the Nets games I went to in Jersey combined. Blake Griffin even got overrated chants . The Nets played great defense on Jamal Crawford all night not allowing him to catch the ball in his comfort zone. While Brook had a dominate game against the Clipper bigs. Joe even came through today, he looked great in the first quarter and hit the dagger in the 4th. Can't wait to go again.
