 What's the word y'all? The NBA is a very crazy slash funny place. I'm gonna remind you that I film these videos right after the last game of the day. Y'all don't see them until the next morning, but I film them right after the last game of the day, right? And the reason I'm bringing that up is because in yesterday's video, I said Nicholas Claxton saves the NASA's job because Claxton had like 19 points, 10 rebounds and prevented the Indiana Pacers from having his full-on comeback. Well, three minutes, three minutes before I published that video, talking about last night's Slater Games, Steve Nash got fired. So the only thing if you look in the comment section is Kenny, is making fun of Kenny, saying that Nicholas Claxton saved the job of Steve Nash and he got fired three minutes before. It's crazy timing. But the majority of this video is gonna be talking about the Brooklyn Nets and them firing with Steve Nash. I've had a few hours to really think it through instead of pushing out a real response video right after it happened. And I do have some thoughts, but I'm gonna talk about these four games within the association really, really quick. Starting off with the Golden State Warriors Miami Heat Game, the Warriors have lost three straight games and they have not won on a road just yet. If you're a Heat fan, this is the type of game that you normally win. This is the Miami Heat basketball that we've seen over the last two years that we haven't seen through the first couple of weeks of this season. It sucks that Tyler Hero got injured early, mostly, not mostly, but partially because I had him in my prize pick entry, but mostly for them, I mean, he's a super crucial part of your team's success. So I hope that, you know, it's nothing serious. But it was cool to see Duncan Robinson look like the person, the player that you gave $90 million to a season and a half ago. And, you know, at the end of the day, they grinded out this game and it felt like a Miami Heat game. On the other side of things, the Warriors losing three straight games. I mean, this season could not have started, I would say any worse, considering the circumstances, coming off this NBA championship, you got the turmoil within the off season there. I think for the most part, everybody's looked past because here we are. And the new cycle in the NBA is just like this. We talk about seeing that it's gonna be a fire today. And in three days, that's not even gonna be the topic of the NBA. So the punch is way behind people. But you have the inconsistencies from Jordan Poole, which makes sense. I mean, he's like a 23 year old player. You have the inconsistencies of like a Wiseman, a Moody or like a Mingo who barely gets time. And then you miss the players like Gary paid in a second. I kind of underestimated how important he was to the team's defense or even Otto Porter. They're relying on a lot of people that might not have the defensive identity that some of the people they lost. And because of that, they don't really defend like you expect them to. Today's game, they gave up more open transition threes that I've seen and more than I can even count. So they got to figure that out. I'm not panicking, but they got to figure that out. And Clay Thompson plays too much hero ball for me. The shot that he shot with like 23 seconds left on the clock. I understand. I know he's a splash brother. He's one of the greatest shooters of all time. But like, considering the circumstances, considering how contested he was, damn, bad shot. Next game, Orlando Magic blow a game. I don't remember how many they were up by going to, I think they were up like 15 points in the third quarter and then Shay and Poku just turned it up. I mean, I could talk about Shay all day. And I'm really, really considering starting like a spotlight series on days like today where it's not a ton of games. Luckily we got to see Nastin to talk about where we don't have a ton to talk about. Shay has to be a spotlight player because he just consistently does whatever the hell he wants on the basketball court. I put money on the fact that he was gonna be an all-star this season. And as long as he stay healthy, I'm getting my money back come February. He has been amazing. And I think this is the third straight win for the, for the OKC Thunder and the third straight comeback win. They figure it out. The Timberwolves end up losing to the Phoenix Suns. And I've been seeing a lot of my comment section, Kenny, why don't you talk about the Suns? The Suns are one of the two teams in basketball right now that the top five in offense and top five in defense. The other team is the Cleveland Cavaliers. And the reason why you probably don't see a lot of people here, a lot of people talking about the Phoenix Suns, since we did it for the last two seasons. And I think a lot of people have the, okay, now prove it to me, come playoff time mindset. But me, I'm still enjoying a lot of the stuff that they're doing. It might not be the most efficient player anymore, offensively as far as shooting the ball or only average, I think nine points per game in the season. Today, 12 assists, one turnover. And the turnover that he got, he got a technical foul for it, just wrapped up. And actually the officiating today was a little bit weirder than we've seen in recent history, because even Jordan Poole got called for like palming slash turn double dribble or traveling, whatever. They're definitely refing ball handling a little bit different today. So I'm interested to see how that affects other point guards. But he's, Chris Paul has been so consistent in getting his teammates open. Devin Booker didn't have a crazy game today because you have McHale Bridges taken off and Cam Johnson taken off. Jacques Landel still has the green light to shoot threes. And anytime DeAndre Aiden is out with an injury, they figure out a way to piece together the center position, the center minutes, and they have not lost a step whatsoever with Aiden being out. Makes me wonder that once he's eligible to be traded, once will we hear more rumors about him and figuring out what's next for the roster. Okay. The ball slash Brooklyn Ness game, we can tie in to the Steve Ness being fired. It felt like it was time for Steve Ness. I think he wasn't put in a great position as a head coach. And I don't know if you remember last season, Kari Irvin came to the podium and said, I don't feel like we have a head coach. And you can interpret that a couple of different ways. You can interpret it as, oh, Steve Ness was just one of the dudes so much that like he was so much good of a player coach that he didn't feel like a head coach. But we know that's not true. We know that's not, we know that's not what he meant. This man was appointed by his superstar players and Kevin Irvin and Kari Irvin to be the head coach because they felt like they didn't really need one. And one thing we were learning night in and night out is that coaching does matter, even if it's not for exes and those and stuff, but maintaining a locker room. And Steve Ness said that they didn't listen to him anymore. Right? I guess they parted ways was what Woj and Shams are saying that he wasn't fired, but they parted ways because he thought he lost the locker room and Joe Sy kind of sees that as wet. This is the reality of the situation. The off season, Kevin Irvin said, either you trade me or you fire Steve Ness. And Kevin Irvin saw something that a lot of people saw. You know, I even made a video on before the season started saying that I can't tell you if Steve Ness is a decent coach, a bad coach or anything based on the resume that he had. He had coached like a hundred something games and 150 games and only 60 of those that he had Katie and Kairi. That's a very small sample size. And only I think 14 of those that you have Katie, Kairi and James Harden. Like the sample size was extremely small for Steve Ness for us to really determine if he was a good coach. But as we seen coming into the season, okay, now you got your big three if you want to call it that. You got your three max players. Now let's see what you got to do. And the Saturday running were bad. They still didn't defend. They still didn't rebound. And then obviously, like he mentioned, he had lost the locker room. So it was time, but you could have done this come off season and just had a plethora of different head coaching opportunities or head coaching candidates to come into the job. And his room worked, all but confirmed that E-May Udoka is going to be the next guy. I don't really know what to say or even have an opinion about all of this because he was suspended for the Boston Celtics for a reason. He was investigated. He had to misconduct within the workplace. It feels like all sports leagues, not just the NBA are willing to look past certain things if you're damn good at your job. And it's just like, I don't want to, I don't know where the line is crossed. You know what I'm saying? It's two weeks outside of basketball for E-May Udoka, a good enough punishment for what he did. Like that's not what this should be about, but it's something that should be talked about nonetheless. So Steve Nash gets fired, right? And I know that the Chicago Bulls are on national TV going against the Brooklyn Nets. And I have no hope in mind because y'all know once a team fires their coach, that next week or so is usually like, oh snap, we so excited now and that guy is out of the locker when we got to worry about him and we go go out there and play our best basketball and they proceeded to do the same thing that they were doing before. Don't hate Jacques Vaughn, he's a really good assistant coach, but the things were the same. I mean, the body language on this team even after the guy that they wanted to be fired was fired was still at an all-time low. I don't understand. And usually in situations like this, it's been spoken about plenty of times before when you have a superstar caliber player or multiple of those caliber players and you're making a decision as of like changing the head coach, the person gets talked about at least a little bit. I don't know how much input they really get, but like you can't tell me that when David Black got fired from the Cavaliers that LeBron wasn't immediately in those meetings thinking Tyron Lewis about to be our guy. This man, Katie, said he found out about the firing when he woke up from a nap when he looked at the TV and it was ESPN. So there was no communication between Josiah and his superstar players that they were gonna do the thing. And I don't know if that's Josiah's fault. I don't know if that's Kevin Arendt's fault. I don't know, but it's just ultimate amount of turmoil within his Brooklyn Nets organization. And then they lose tonight's game and this man, Cam Thomas, goes to Instagram and puts in his bio, free Cam Thomas. If it ain't one thing, it's another. We got rid of our head coach of problems and now the night 12th man on the roster say he wants to be freed. There is nothing but news and turmoil within this organization. And it's kind of insane how every single day something new pops up. So they go out there and they play against Chicago Bulls and similarly to like every single game this season, they end up going up to some extent and they end up blowing a game. The biggest lead for the Brooklyn Nets in the first half was 12 points and they end up losing about by nine but they were down by 12 at one point. That has been the consensus over the entire season so far. Where they could get you two really good quarters and this one they got to the fourth quarter and Zach Levine himself outscored the entire team. This game was Kevin Durant, Yuta Wada Navi and Royce O'Neill versus all. Cause Kyrie didn't come to play shots, Alex Grusso, Io DeSumo, them boys actually come out and clamp up. But the team is just in so much turmoil that like, I mean, is he fixing this right now? Like this team is so bad defensively. I don't think that even if we brought in the greatest defensive coach of all time, whoever the hell that is, that he's gonna be able to during the season change up the mindset, the effort that you want on the defensive side of the ball. I saw a tweet. Oh, I saw a tweet that I thought was really, really good and I think we should bring it up. They were questioning, how good would he may Yudoka be without Joe Missoula and Will Hardy as his assistants? Because as we are seeing right now, those two dudes can coach their ass off. Only two weeks into their careers has had coaches but Joe Missoula got the boss themselves is looking damn good and Will Hardy got a team that people thought was going to win 20 games looking like the best team in basketball. So now we got email Yudoka and potentially and ain't an official just yet because I think Sean Marks said he's gonna do his due diligence and look at other candidates, whatever. We have email Yudoka, Jacques Vaughn and then the rest of the staff who still aren't good right now. And you want this guy who has hung his head on defensive identity to turn this roster into a competent defensive team? I'm not saying it's impossible but he's got a lot of work to do. I do believe in second chances do not get me wrong but like two weeks of absence after it comes public that you did some bad stuff, not long enough. What do you got to have Josh Primo get picked up next week? We about to have Miles Bridges sign another contract very soon. Like the consequences for these bad actions and sports are not nearly as high as they probably should be. And I think a lot of people look at the email Yudoka situation and think it was just a consensual relationship with a staffer. But it was much deeper than that. And we saw, as soon as they found out that Yudoka was about to be the next head coach or probably gonna be the next head coach, a leak drop instantly of some more stuff he did. And I'm assuming that every single day over the next, I don't know how long there's gonna be more information about this private case because if the Boston Celtics are wiping their hands at a situation somebody is gonna talk and somebody is gonna tell you more of the stuff that he did, you know? So I don't really know ethically. It's hard to have those conversations especially on a channel like this. I mean, it was just September 8th, 2022. Josiah tweeted, our front office and coaching staff have my support. We will make decisions in the best interests of the Brooklyn Nets. And he thought in the best interests of this team was to bring Steve Nash back. And here we are two agents of the season and it's over with. I mean, right now it's a poorly ran team with a team that don't feel like they love each other. They don't fight for each other, bro. They don't have the passion with each other. That's just what I'm seeing on the court. You know, every single game this season they've blown the lead to some extent. They have the talent to get those leads but they can't close it out. They go too long of just bad basketball and teams take advantage of that, you know? Shout out to my bulls, bro. Shout out to my bulls because I ain't, I wasn't feeling great after the last two games, I'll be honest. We lost to the Senators on your spurs who are good at basketball. And then we lost to Joel and Bede. I wasn't feeling very great. And then we come out here and I feel good again because Ayu D'Souma was a vocal leader in year number two. And guess what? Patrick Williams had a couple of possesses in today's game where I was like, damn, the midi looking good. Get into the basket. The defense is still, you know, you see, he's heavy, he's heavy, you know? I don't expect him to keep up with the guards or even Kevin Arant who are very like majestic in the way they move on the basketball court. Anyway, I don't know if Steve Nash, what's next for him? I don't know. It would, I would not be surprised if he was just completely done with coaching after what three seasons of just nothing but craziness. He might just be like, hey, let me, let me chill at the crib with my wife and my kids and do more TikToks. I say like the life, you got the money and like, you know, search it for a bag, enjoy retirement, Steve Nash, or coming assistant, you know, or something. I just don't know. I don't know if another team like come, come off season, X team fires their coach and now they're doing a bunch of candidacy interviews. I don't know if I'd be looking at Steve Nash like let me give him an interview. You know what I'm saying? But if it's for an assistant, a shooting coach, a development coach, like he was with the goal to stay warriors before he got this gig for show, for show, we could do that. And I know head coaching job. So y'all let me know in the comment section how y'all feel Steve Nash fired, E-Mate and potentially Brooklyn Nets can they turn around the season? I'll be down there looking.
