“It’s consistency”, Aldridge said. “It was just very easy”.

I still believe with some luck our results might have been more promising.
(Ever a quote machine, the playboy promised he’d settle down and get married as punishment if the Nets failed to meet that goal.) But the Nets have not yet sniffed a title since, and instead are a franchise in turmoil, firing coach Lionel Hollins and reassigning general manager Billy King after the team’s 10-27 start to the season.
The Nets have lost four in a row overall and nine straight at home, where attendance has dwindled at the $1 billion Barclays Center.
-Spurs coach Gregg Popovich commented on recently fired Lionel Hollins saying, “He’s a good friend and a heck of a coach”. “If I didn’t have a guy like KG in my ear all the time, a coach like Doc (Rivers), who knows where I’d be in this league – if I’d even be in this league”.
Of course, Prokhorov is still under the delusion that an National Basketball Association championship is right around the corner once he reels in his desired targets.
On John Calipari: “Coach Cal is a great coach, but we won’t be discussing today any name because it’s the first day of our new approach”.
“I feel awesome about it”, Marjanovic said. “As soon as we have our decision it’s better to start earlier than later”. When the Nets hire a new general manager and coach, Prokhorov said he wants to have a “much firmer blueprint” on what type of team they are trying to build.
He has “vowed to instill a winning culture” and “use the rest of the season to diligently evaluate candidates with proven track records”, per NY Times, which must be welcome words for Nets’ fans who have been watching a team they thought was hopeless since its move to Brooklyn. They kept up that trend with a road win over the struggling Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets may seem hopeless to everyone else, but Prokhorov isn’t backing off the big decrees he made when he first bought the franchise in 2010. Then added, “In the second half they just hit the switch and got mostly everything they wanted”. San Antonio ranks higher in assists with 25.6 (ranked second). For one, his minutes are down from 35.4 per game to 29.7, the least he has been on the court since his rookie season in 2006-07. “(He’s) got great hands, (and) knows how to play”. “I can see us coming together through this”. Every night we try to go out and do whatever it takes to win the game. They can accept a role. But they haven’t been competitive now and have little hope of a quick fix in the future, as their first-round pick next season goes to Boston as part of the payment from the deal that brought Pierce and Garnett in 2013. Kupchak hinted that there was a lot of interest in the younger guys on his roster, including players the Lakers are planning to build around.
