Avery Johnson?

So is Jason Kidd going to get another coach fired? The Mavs were doing a little than this, before that wife beater came along. This is the same guy who had Byron Scott fired, after Scott led them to back to back NBA finals.

    I think it's very possible Avery may be gone. Cuban thought this trade would make his team a title contender. Avery was against it from the start. Avery also wanted to trade choke master Dirk at the start of the season when teams were working their free agent roster deals. They could have gotten MAX value for him then.Maybe they could have traded him to Memphis who wanted to to deal for Gasol and would have jumped at Dirk. can you imagine Gasol and Diop as a front-court, with Howard, Harris and Terry as your lineup, not to bad. But Cuban is in love with the man who choked in the finals, and then the next year choked in the first round, and now looks like he's going to do it again. But the worst part of all this is Avery will take the blame for everything not working.

    The mavs are killing me ... I wish we had never traded for J Kidd. But Avery will likely be gone this year or next ... such a shame.

    The offense is absolutely horrible. Each time in the half court set I wonder how the mavs will score.

    (of course it doesnt help that stack and howard couldnt hit the broad side of a barn the whole series)

    J Kidd = overpaid and overrated

    With the the remainder of the education bids almost comprehensive, it style of feels that the main possibly place for Avery is Chicago, yet does Paxson choose a guy who won't be able to steer between the ultimate communities interior the final ten years to a championship? i think of they might do exactly as nicely with a youthful coach who has something to teach with the help of even having the interest interior the 1st place. as adversarial to the coach who merely won't be able to fairly get it.

    Avery Johnson is not getting fired. 4 seasons and 4 playoffs appearances? Sorry, not gonna happen.

    I hate Johnson's voice; that being said, I think he's gone. Mark Cuban has a lot of tension with him and he's got 2 MVP caliber players in Kidd and Dirk but accomplished nothing.

    do the mavs even have a game face? or have they heard of stepping up the level of play? its like they are on practice

  • no. Avery keeping Howard in when he was airballing shots and missing layups is going to get him fired.
