On April 27, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. In yesterday's Eastern Conference showdown, the Nets lost 112-116 to the Celtics, thus being eliminated by the Green Army by an aggregate score of 0:4, and the season ended. After the Nets were out, coach Nash was verbally criticized.
Earlier today, prominent commentator Perkins criticized Nash on the show, saying, "Nash is simply not fit to coach the Nets!" You need someone in that position to get those players, especially players like Irving, to respect and listen, because Irving certainly wouldn't go to other teams, obviously, Nash is not that kind of person! ”
Perkins then updated his social media, writing: "The Nets should fire Nash, they need to bring in someone like Phil Handy who owes owen respect and move on!" ”
The Phil Handy mentioned by Perkins is no one else, he is now the Lakers' assistant coach and royal trainer. He previously served as an assistant coach for the Cavaliers and coached Irving. According to Handy, when he first arrived at the Cavaliers, Irving was very resistant to him, and Handy even had to find Kobe as an intermediary, and finally got Irving's approval. When Owen had previously been criticized and accused of refusing to get vaccinated, Handy had also stood up for Owen. It is worth mentioning that in this season, Handy has been exposed to have a conflict with Wei Shao.
In addition, Perkins also said of Nash after the Nets were eliminated: "Nash stood next to the whole series, like a statue. He didn't make even one adjustment and never put Durant or Irving in a successful position. For the crisis he encountered, Nash said yesterday that he hopes he can continue to coach.
In addition, Irving also said in an interview that he hopes to stay with the Nets, and he does not want to go to any other team.
