lmao @ this pic he took.

He looks like an 80s porn star. Also looks like he should have been in Semi Pro.

I was just thinking about this too, not only would they be perennial contenders but the entire perception of LeBron would be different.

Wait, maybe Utah should have kept Deron

Meh, hindsight is always 20/20. We can always play the "woulda, shoulda, coulda" or "what if" game with sports, fellas. See, I'll do it too;

What if Ginobili hadn't fouled Dirk in '06 or messed up his ankle in '08? Possible Spurs four-peat??

Mahorn with the brain-fart on live T.V.

I guess Chicago's great play without Rose proves the other guys aren't just average, trash or bums. They have quality players at every position much like Oklahoma City, actually they have better talent overall.

Just looking at the statline across the bottom of the screen... can you imagine if Lebron & Bosh would have joined up in Cleveland? Lebron stays put, gets his 2nd fiddle in Bosh, still have the supporting cast that Lebron was used to, and he knew how to make them better... They would be tough to beat.

Funny...

Please stop.

[J_Posse]

Lol I take offense to D'Antoni taking any positives from that game....dude should be pissed...

Speaking of pissed, no comment on the Spurs game.

Many people before barely want to put Bosh in the big 3....y'all think he could be a legit #2 now? Serious question.

Horrendous coaching cost us that one, bro. Pop just coached his two worst games of the season back-to-back. Pathetic, "soft" coaching by him.

Look I hate D'Antoni and his (formerly) smug attitude, but that roster is just flawed for what he's good at. I don't think its so much about adjusting as it is having players that suit your coaching style.

Gregg Popovich, Jerry Sloan and Phil Jackson did/have done very little adjusting throughout their coaching career. They just had the right players to make them and their systems look good. Twin Towers and 4-down would have looked a lot worse without Tim Duncan.

D'Antoni's system is flawed and has been. He just benefited from great point guard play. Dude's never been about ish without Steve Nash. And there's a reason the Suns never got past the ECF.

Think about the difference in systems and coaching between those guys you listed. D'Antoni coaches no D, doesn't command his players like those guys do, wants guys to shoot every open shot they get and play fast. Mentioning D'Antoni in the same sentence as Phil, Sloan, Pop is an insult to them.

I don't care if we don't have the players to make his system look good. We're not changing the players, so he needs to change the system. We already have the best front court but can't figure out how to use them. He was talking about using Melo to initiate the offense as a point-forward at the beginning of the season...yea...that worked real well until it became Iso-7. We've lost 5 straight games, what adjustments has he made? None. Same losing attitude, same losing habits, same lack of defense, intensity, effort, offense, etc. He needs to get the entire hell out of New York.

If I don't wake up tomorrow morning to most of my friends that are Knicks fans sending me excited text messages about D'Antoni being fired something is wrong with the world.

[23]

Technically phil knew his limitations do he hired guys to design his offense and coach his defense

Dantoni should see thats his only hope but I doubt it

Yeah there is a reason, it's called not playing in the Eastern Conference. Haha just messing with you bro, we know what you meant. You make some valid points, though I think you may be a tad too hard on the guy.

And yet you feel that it's okay for Dwyan....you know what

Is wizzleman actually being serious? I feel like he's just a troll account. Never seen him post anything halfway insightful.

That being said.....bye bye D'antoni.

Basketball didn't start in 2004. I'm pretty sure LeBron was playing. (BURN LOL PUN CAUSE YOU'RE A HEAT FAN).

Not dantoni's fault. When your 2 beat players loaf arou d and take plays off all the time, your gonna get uneven performance.

Carmello needs to set a better example, sadly he just seems kinda lazy.
