Wondering about Kenny Atkinson's and Brett Brown's job security.
10 games into the season, and the Nets are 4-6 and haven't looked great. Still early, and with a simple 3-4 game winning streak they'd look a lot better (and they have an easy stretch with 5 out of 6 games coming up before they come to Boston).
But if they stay sub .500 all year does Atkinson get the ax during the season? Does he get a pass with Durant out? He's a good coach, but someone's going to have to take the blame.
Similar with Brown. I can't imagine he'll be fired during the season, but Philly has looked very human so far. If they don't make it past the 2nd round again this year, will that be it for Brown?
