All Star and Olympic point guard Deron Williams once didn't see eye to eye with Jerry Sloan while in Utah. Many insiders believe Williams was the reason Sloan retired from coaching a few years ago. Fast forward to Brooklyn the Nets 1st season in the burrough, now Avery Johnson has be relieved of his coach duties. PJ Carlesimo has taken over on an interim basis. Since last week firing the nets have won their last two games to get over .500. Williams was the 1st to say his hands are clean and if management asked him about Avery, he would say Johnson should stay. Williams earlier in the month of December said he was struggling offensively due to Johnson offensive style. Clearly with a new building the Barclay Center and additions like Joe Johnson their are high expectations for these Nets. Let's see who will become the head coach and how the team will respond going forward. Ultimately it comes down to can they compete with the likes of Miami, during the NBA Playoffs.
