#Nets GM Sean Marks admits Kyrie’s last postgame presser “didn’t go well.” He adds “At this point we don’t want to cause more fuss right now, more interaction with people. Let’s let him simmer down and…I guess let’s let cooler minds prevail.” – 5:40 PM

Last year, Heat center Meyers Leonard used an anti-Semitic phrase while playing a video game. After apologizing, Leonard was quickly suspended from all team activities, fined $50,000 and required to participate in a cultural diversity program.

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

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

After going up by as many as 24, the Nets are on the verge of another collapse here — the Pacers have cut it down to 4 with 9:58 left in regulation. Aside from KD and Kyrie not much going on for the Nets offensively. – 9:35 PM

Halftime: Nets lead the Pacers 61-54. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving each have 15 points. Nic Claxton has 12 on 6-for-8 shooting. Nets are hitting 3s, which is a good thing, but were up 24 and have seen the lead go back to seven. Can they hold it? – 8:40 PM

Pacers closed the half on a 23-8 run, trimming the deficit to just seven, 61-54.
KD and Irving both have 15pts.
Chris Duarte is the one Pacer who is on target. He’s made three 3s and has a season-high 13pts. Hield has 14.
Pacers are 6/24 from 3; and 14 TOs. – 8:39 PM

Turned into a KD-Kyrie pick-and-roll that ended in a Claxton dunk. – 8:36 PM

Kyrie is up to 15 points already in 17 minutes. He’s 6-for-10 from the field and he’s done a nice job of setting up the offense. Nets getting some clean looks all over the floor. – 8:31 PM

Royce O’Neale taps the ball away to Kyrie Irving, whose transition finger roll puts the #Nets up 43-24 with 10:06 left in the half. Brooklyn is shooting 60% and 5-of-8 from deep, with clearly better spacing. #Pacers just 37% and 1-of-14. – 8:17 PM

Here’s a genuine question. Who would Kyrie have to disparage before even his own fans boo’d him? Will he get jeers on the road? Would other players get treated differently because they are not seen as “off” as Kyrie? Just seems weird to me to hear fans cheer this guy. – 7:45 PM

Steve Nash said he had no involvement in the organization’s handling of the Kyrie situation.
“I know there was a process in place, so I allowed that to take place.”
Said Kyrie deleting the tweet certainly helped things and he hopes they can grow through the situation together. – 5:57 PM

I asked Steve Nash if the #Nets talked about any Kyrie Irving discipline, and if Irving taking the tweet down played a role in that calculus. “I think it certainly helps.” #NBA – 5:54 PM
