Chris “Mad Dog” Russo said “the Nets were dead once they fired Atkinson” noting that Marks “caved” to Kyrie (and ultimately KD) not wanting to play for Kenny [on ESPN].
Missing the point, of course, that a decision to keep Kenny would have meant losing both Kai and KD. – 10:39 AM

The Nets landed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in part due to the incredible culture.
They’ve since fired two coaches, mortgaged their future to trade for a malcontent who quit on them and then traded him for another malcontent.

Kyrie Irving won’t talk to the media today after not speaking to the media after last night’s Nets game. Sean Marks said it’s because he wants to let Irving “simmer down” and not create more “fuss.” He said Irving’s last media session “didn’t go well.” – 5:18 PM

What a hollow, insincere statement… It’s been five days since Kyrie (who is a VP of the Players Association) posted a link to a film which quoted Hitler and this statement fails to even mention Irving by name. pic.twitter.com/bLUd7cicwy – 5:17 PM

Udoka in Brooklyn is clearly more baggage at an already teetering organization. But I see it from the Nets side, too: He coached there, he is an excellent coach with a track record of success, & KD/Kyrie know him and surely singed off. This is, as always, about them. – 2:52 PM

Ime Udoka’s defensive background and familiarity with Brooklyn’s stars put him over the top.
Udoka coached KD and Kyrie as Nets defensive coordinator in 2020-21. He coached Simmons in the same role with Philadelphia in 2019-20.
The Nets rank 29th in defensive rating this year. – 2:26 PM

One thing worth noting on Ime Udoka: when he was an assistant coach w/BKN, he wasn’t shy about coaching Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving with an edge/challenging them, as SNY reported. Udoka is suspended for the season by BOS, reportedly for inappropriate conduct with female staffer – 2:01 PM

As long as the Nets are making moves, maybe it’s time to part ways with the expiring contract that they will never extend. Talked to a few execs around the league who would not touch Kyrie. I can think of one who might take the chance – if not, pull the bandaid off. – 1:14 PM

In statement from ADL spokesperson, the organization said it hopes “to have an opportunity to soon” speak with Irving. “We were pleased that he deleted the problematic post but we believe it is crucial that Kyrie speak out clearly and quickly to condemn antisemitism.” The statement adds appreciation for Joe Tsai, Sam Zussman, Sean Marks and the Nets for working with the ADL. -via Twitter @SBondyNYDN / November 2, 2022

A Rabbi connected to Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving’s former school has condemned anti-Semitism and says athletes and other people with big platforms need to take a “greater responsibility” in combating hate speech. Rabbi Pinchas Shapiro is the Executive Vice President of the Jewish Educational Center and former Deputy Secretary General of the World Jewish Congress. He helped The Patrick School, the school which Irving helped fund for years, find its new home in Union, N.J. The school uses the YM-YWHA of Union County, which is overseen by Shapiro’s organization, to conduct its classes, practices and games. -via Newark Star-Ledger / November 2, 2022
