Kyrie Living His Best Life Is Not Going to Work. Steve Nash Is Going to Work but Aināt Happy
The Nets and the Nets have the same record. Blame Kyrie. Blame the Nets defense.
I Like Steve Nash In Brooklyn. But Iām Not A Black Coach That Just Got Ignored
Steve Nash was the ultimate leader as a NBA superstar. But history says, great players make horrible coaches. Inexperienced coaches though have become great coaches.
Kyrie Needs Some Sensitivity Training
Kyrie is a long way from the leader he needs to be if he has any shot at winning a NBA title without LeBron James.
Brooklyn Hasnāt Cured Kyrie

4 Teams and Not Enough Time: Whoās Going To Choke?
Itās been nearly 77 games and in the Eastern Conference there are four teams fighting each other for three playoff spots. Reality is that whoever gets in (Orlando, Miami, Brooklyn, Detroit) it probably will be a short playoff experience, kind of like that cup of coffee at Starbucks. But the playoffs is an important stepping…
Basketball Gods Giving Caris LeVert Love
As Caris LeVert screamed in agony on the basketball court it jogged a memory of Shaun Livingston screaming on a basketball court and Paul George screaming on a basketball court and ditto for Gordon Hayward.

The Jason Kidd Bridge Is Burned. “It’s Business.”
Nearly four years ago, Jason Kidd swung for the fences and unsuccessfully tried to become the Nets General Manager by boldy ousting the General Manager who was still employed. It was a gusty calculation. If successful, it would have been a move up, from coach to the one making the decisions. But the palace coup…
Who Is Allen Crabbe and Why Is He Making $19 Million?
Quietly, Allen Crabbe traded conferences. He didn’t let go of his $19 million though. He’ll take that with him to Brooklyn, the team that signed Crabbe to an offer sheet last summer and traded for him this summer.
