The Brooklyn Nets suffered a shock loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last night. Ja Morant had an incredible performance against the Nets and helped the Grizzlies defeat the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center. The Nets were not up to the mark last night, and some fans want a personnel change.
A lot of Nets fans took to Twitter after the game and noted that they wanted Steve Nash fired from the head coach position for the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets have been good, but underwhelming given how much talent he has at his disposal. Clearly, Nets fans have had enough after this latest loss.

Just don’t know how Steve Nash can watch his team go down 25 in the third and stick with the same 8 man rotation.
Have to change something up. Look for a spark.

Steve Nash better use this game as a learning experience. You can’t run all vets vs young teams or they will run you off the court.

It’s been a year and a half. I’ve been saying he’s bad from day one. He is. He has no coaching experience. If you wanna be a championship team you gotta have a championship coach. Steve Nash is not that guy

Nothing worst than a coach quitting in a team with 9:23 left and watch ur team with the Stars players bench fight back from 23 down to cut the lead to 10 with 5 mins left and never put ur STARS back in…..STEVE NASH IS FUCKING HORRIBLE

Yeah I bet Steve Nash is "hopeful" Kyrie Irving can return on Wednesday to cover up his lousy coaching. https://t.co/3EyKjgfeAv

Steve Nash was Antonio Daniels until the Grizzlies left. He would not have made a difference. Sorry to tell all these new grizzlies fans this..

It appears as though fans of the Brooklyn Nets have run out of patience with Nash. His hiring in 2020 was a contentious call, as many fans felt that he was being assessed for his greatness as a player, rather than his credibility as a coach. Nash had no experience when he was named the head coach for the Nets.
And that lack of experience was made up for when the Nets hired former Rockets head coach, and Nash’s head coach with the Phoenix Suns, Mike D’Antoni. But D’Antoni’s departure from the Nets this season has highlighted his deficiencies as a coach, despite the overwhelming quality of players he has.
While Kevin Durant and James Harden have helped win the Nets a lot of games, fans are starting to see that Nash’s inexperience as a head coach is starting to hamper them, and will serve as a problem down the line, especially in the playoffs.
Kyrie Irving is set to return for the Nets tomorrow night, and he will be playing as a part-time player. This move has been criticized, given how Kyrie’s anti-vaccine stance has been affecting the team as it made them lose their third All-Star. But Nash may see Irving as his savior if Irving can help them get some more wins.
