BROOKLYN NETS AXE COACH!
The team is 14-14 right now, clinging to the final playoff spot in the East.
But they are 3-10 in December, including a Christmas Day beating at home to Boston on national TV.
Johnson has been on the hot seat ever since $100-million point guard Deron Williams openly questioned his offensive philosophy last week.
There are obvious reasons why the Nets are struggling a bit. They spent $330 million to bring in an entirely new group of players this summer, and they need time to play together. It also didn’t help that starting center Brook Lopez went out with a foot injury in mid-December. Were 28 games enough time to figure it out?
Apparently not, according to Nets owner Mikahil Prokhorov. It was believed that Johnson would be given more time to turn things around after nine losses in 12 games against mostly winning teams.
Ironically, Johnson was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for November.
Assistant coach PJ Carlisemo will take over as interim coach.
