In a surprising turn of events, Kenny Atkinson is no longer the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. In a less surprising continuation of events, Jim Boylen is still the head coach of the Chicago Bulls.
This afternoon, the Bulls and Nets will square off in Brooklyn.
Jim Boylen should feel worried about his job
The fact that the Nets are playing the Bulls in their first game after parting ways with Kenny Atkinson is hilarious. The general perception of Atkinson is that he’s a brilliant coach who does a nice job of establishing a good culture within an organization.
