Anybody want to revisit this?
I told others I would lay low for a month and not mention this thread - however, what has D'Antoni changed? He still erroneously relies on Diaw too much, he doesn't stress defense, and he runs our starters into the ground because he refuses to play the bench. No player development, no defense (no team rebounding), tired starters = bad coaching, failure in post-season.
This coach and his system is the problem. I know the Suns have the 3rd best record in the league - but is there anyone here that believes they can beat San Antonio? Boston? Utah? Houston? Dallas? Golden State? in a seven game series?
Here I go again
... I almost hope the Suns lose to the Spurs, the Jazz, the Lakers, and the Mavericks in humiliating fashion, just so D'Antoni will be fulling exposed. The Suns have a talent laden squad, so why can't they win a championship - the coaching has sold 'em out.
Yeah, a mid-season firing won't do any good. I agree. I would like, however, to see everyone jump on board in hopes of
forcing D'Antoni to change his style. In hopes of Sarver making a deal for a body down low that will play defense, rebound and chew up minutes (20 or so). Playing this way will not bring a championship this year, next year, or ever.
OK, go ahead and pile on again... but dare I say, some of you have started to see the light?
