Steve Nash was thrown out of the game for arguing with the ref. It was :56
Steve Nash was ejected for the first time in his coaching career during the third quarter of Wednesday night's game.
Nash was frustrated by several calls throughout the night, but his anger boiled over in the third. After the game, he said that it was because he thought Antetokounmpo got Mills in the throat and didn't call for it.
Nash said he was standing up for his men. I thought Patty had thrown a forearm in the ref's face. I did not believe that was fair. I think I was calm. I wasn't happy that I received a tech.
After being whistled for a technical foul, Nash lost his temper. In disbelief that he was called for a technical, the coach launched into a heated argument.
Nash didn't know why the initial call was made.
Nash did not have an explanation. There is a lot going on so what happened? The only thing left is my peace on the court.
Nash was called for his second technical and ejected after he continued to argue.
Nets guard Kyrie Irving was one of several players who tried to calm Nash down and put his hands on his shoulders but Nash walked off the floor. The players appreciated that their coach was standing up for them.
He's played for 20 years. Kevin Durant said that he had seen him talk to the refs. I've seen him talk crazy to the refs. Steve was crazy to the refs. He didn't get a tech when he was a coach. He's feisty, but you have to handle yourself differently as a coach, and I think he did that tonight.
The Nets were frustrated at what they thought was an inconsistent whistle, with both Ben Simmons and KD getting technical fouls.
He always believes Nash has his back, even though he didn't think it mattered if Nash defended the group in that way.
Some players might benefit from it. I know my coach is with me no matter what. He supports us and wants us to do well. I don't think he gets a tech to enforce that. He was excited about the game, but he was also into the game. I don't think that shows a point to us, I don't know about the rest of my teammates.
