The Brooklyn Nets just lost three out of the first four games they have played this season. The Nets recently fell short to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite a strong performance from the star duo of Brooklyn, they just could not match up against Antetokounmpo?s performance. But despite Giannis? amazing outing, that may not have been the highlight of the game between the Bucks and Nets.?

As Giannis Antetokounmpo brought the ball up the court, it seemed as if he pushed the defender Patty Mills with his off-hand. While the referees did not see it as a foul, Nash was not happy about it. He pleaded for a foul from the referees but they did not agree with him.

And that made Nash livid. He got a technical for calling out the referees for the no-call. And before you know it, Nash was enraged as he was held back by the assistant coach and players. That got him his second technical foul and was ejected from the game.?

Although it is never a good sign to see the head coach get ejected, fans seemed rather pleased with Nash?s reaction. One fan tweeted, ?This might be exactly what the Nets need. A fired up Nash that?ll get his players behind him. Also, try being Patty?s size and not fall over from a Giannis forearm lol.?

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:
