Nets beat the Nuggets in the last minute. Up to 13-10 now with a mixed schedule coming up.
Dinwiddie with an aggressive drive to win, and a great defensive possession to seal it. Spencer looking like an All Star. Kenny coaching very well despite having very little depth to work with.
Allen another double double- getting better each game. Guy is turning into a force
Good signing of Garrett Temple - very key defensive piece since the injuries.

I fucking love the direction of this franchise.
When everyone (ex KD) is back they should bring levert off the bench and start spencer and Kyrie. i think it would help all 3 of them adjust.
I'm not even joking, I'd hire him as a consultant for any franchise in any sport. He is that good at just running a team the right way. Though obviously his evals on guys like Dinwiddie, Levert, Allen, and Joe Harris have been spectacular as well.
Seriously, can he hire the next Giants HC?
By most accounts Prokhorov effectively ran out of money and had no other choice but to let the Nets organically rebuild. I think if geopolitics played out a bit differently, the Nets are fielding a roster of Terry Rozier and Andrew Wiggins right now.
other then hot takes i don't think you have actual color on that topic. Was he a cancer for the cavs being Robin for a ring? 30 a game and the game winner in game 7 and outplaying steph curry.
It is very clear that he is quirky and not a plug and play in all scenarios. It is also very clear a lot of players like him. so its a hard one, but i would reserve judgement for how it goes until later. the nets turnaround had to do more with Kenny calling out Allen and calling out the team defensively.
but lets see, happy to eat crow if it is a debacle but i feel i have an actual insight to Irving as opposed to random media hot take.

Incredibly impressive what the Nets franchise has done. No one is saying it but Prokorov deserves a lot of credit. Hired a great coach and GM.

Regardless he hired a great GM and great coach. The Knicks haven't been able to do that for 20 years.
The Nets are also a lot of fun to watch. Play a nice brand of basketball.

He wasn't driving a lot, which is his forte, and settled way to often on long range 3s. Now he is back to taking it to the rim whenever he has a sliver of an opportunity.
What a lazy narrative.
