Is Steve Nash on the hotseat in Brooklyn?

There is no doubt that Steve Nash is one of the greatest point guards the game of basketball has ever seen. There is a reason why the Victoria, British Columbia product is in Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in Calgary.

But early on in Steve Nash’s head coaching career in Brooklyn, things have not gone according to plan. Last season, despite a regular season record of 48 wins and 24 losses, and three all-stars of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden on the roster, Brooklyn lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals in seven games.

This season things have been very challenging for Nash. For one, Irving has decided not to play home games because of his refusal to get vaccinated. while Durant meanwhile is out with a sprained medial collateral ligament, and Harden is out with a hamstring injury.

The performances from the Nets lately tell us that Irving is far from an elite player anymore, and that Nash cannot win without his stars as a coach. Brooklyn has simply been that awful.

In the last three games, the Nets have been spanked by the Utah Jazz (125-102 loss on February 4), the Denver Nuggets (124-104 loss on February 6), and the Boston Celtics (126-91 loss on February 8). Brooklyn also has a nine game losing streak, which has seen them being outscored by 128 points.

All of a sudden the Nets have dropped to eighth in the East. Will Brooklyn make a move on Thursday at the trade deadline? Due to the fact they have a payroll of over $176 million, the second biggest in the NBA, it might be tough. So that leaves a possible coaching change. The Nets are in a win mode now, and may not have the coaching to get them through their current hurdle. Nash is definitely on the hotseat.
