Avery Johnson Jr. is really mad his dad got fired

• Tweet

The Brooklyn Nets' decision to fire head coach Avery Johnson -- the NBA's November coach of the month -- left many sports fans and analysts shaking their heads. But no one seemed more riled up than Johnson's son, Avery Jr., who took to Twitter to defend his father's honor.

Johnson Jr.'s series of angry tweets slammed the Nets and their "best players" for maintaining expectations that were "too high" and for giving up on a coach with only a 14-14 record.

This is a fuxking Outrage. My dad is a great coach, he just got coach of the month and they Fire him. #Smh. Completely new team he had.

The expectations were way to high for this team. We didn't even have a losing record.... Didn't even give my dad a full season. #OUTRAGE

Johnson Jr. also took a shot at the Nets' "best players." Nets point guard Deron Williams, the suspected impetus behind Johnson's firing, made a thinly veiled critique of his coach last week.

I'm sorry are best players couldn't make open shots. Yeah that's my dads fault totally...
