Earlier this afternoon, the Golden State Warriorsdecided to part ways with their head coach Mark Jackson, despite the fact that he assembled a 121-109 record over the course of the last three seasons. Why? Well, no one knows. The Warriors released a statement a short time ago to say that they feel "it's best to move in a different direction at this time." But they didn't offer up any explanation for why Jax was getting the ax. There has to be some reason for it though, right?
Right. But since there's no good explanation at the moment, Warriors fans and NBA fans as a whole are pissed to see Jackson out of a job. We suspect that he won't be unemployed for very long—right, Knicks/Lakers?—but as of right now, people are taking to Twitter to unleash their anger about the situation and the words "Firing Mark Jackson" are trending on Twitter. So we thought we would gauge exactly how Twitter feels by finding a bunch of the best tweets featuring those words. Here's what we uncovered…
Let's hope that the Warriors have a good plan in place. Because if they don't, this situation is going to get a lot worse.
