Here is the official statement about PJ Carlesimo:
"The Brooklyn Nets organization would like to thank P.J. for his efforts with the team in his roles as both head coach and assistant, and for his contributions to the team's success both on and off the court. We wish P.J. and his family only the best in the years to come."
This is a fuxking Outrage. My dad is a great coach, he just got coach of the month and they Fire him. #Smh. Completely new team he had.

The expectations were way to high for this team. We didn't even have a losing record.... Didn't even give my dad a full season. #OUTRAGE

One of the best coaches I've had and a great man is Avery Johnson. No question I learned alot from him in 2 years.

The best way to tell what a player is made of is to look him in his eyes in the most crucial moments of a game. That'll tell you everything!
