Just in case you missed Avery Johnson...

[bobatundi]

Brook Lopez is having a difficult third season with the New Jersey Nets, as new coach Avery Johnson is a lot more demanding, neurotic and less cool than Kiki Vandeweghe. With the Nets narrowly trailing the Suns (a team that features the other Lopez twin, Robin), Bro-pez got into the game, bricked a jumper, and got yanked. This was his reaction on the bench (via Deadspin): "I'm so tired of this guy. F--k him."

Wow--took Avery two seasons to lose the Mavs' players. He's accomplished it in three months in Jersey.

For many (obvious) reasons it was tough going from a Mavs season ticket holder to a Nets sth...but the worst part of all has been watching an admittedly bad Nets team play even worse than they should because of Avery's plodding offensive schemes.
