During his first update of the morning, Jerry played highlights from the Nets’ embarrassing 50-point loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night, where head coach Jacque Vaughn criticized his players for not bringing the intensity needed to play the top team in the East.
“They were on vacation, is what they were,” Jerry said of the performance by the Nets.
Gio wonders if Vaughn is on his way out as head coach, as Brooklyn continues to struggle and is showing little signs of spirit, especially of late.
“We don’t love saying ‘This guy has to get fired,’ but in pro sports, when this stuff happens multiple times and you get a no-show…you should be inspired to play in Boston against the Celtics at the very least,” Gio said. “You gotta do something don’t you?”
Jerry believes that something will be done, and likely soon, if this continues for Brooklyn.
“I don’t know if Jacque Vaughn is gonna be long for this,” Jerry said.
