Countdown to Armageddon
Your riding for Pringles is hilarious
Steve Nash arrived in Phoenix in 2004-2005
Mike D'antonis first season as a head coach was 2004-2005
Mike D'antoni was the interim coach for part of 2003-2004
How can you assume that Nash made dantoni look like a genius when they got there at the same time?
Dantoni made jeremy lin (a bum) put up all star statistics. He made Raymond Felton put up all star numbers. We will give him his respect. We will not foolishly assume that Steven made him when he has made bums and average players look like stars.
Don't think I forgot that you didnt even understand the offensive system your team was running after d'gawdtoni left. I pulled out the quotes from Gentry and you tried to play mindreader. "alvin didn't mean that, he was just being nice." NOPE, im from the south. nobody can read a black minds mind better than me, and he meant what he said.
Bruh, you gotta realize not only do I watch a lot of basketball, I played the game too. These stunts don't work with me.
I still love you my brother
We can continue to pretend that he created anything CLOSE to the success the Suns had w/ Nash....OR....we can accept reality
Felton put up "all star numbers" in NY. [43%fg- his shooting numbers definitely didn't go up and stay there like Nash's have - yet another sign of Nash's improvements independent of D'Antoni] That's cool. Raymond Felton wasn't an all-star. And he was traded before that same season was over.
Then we got Lin - another D'Antoni success story, no doubt, right? Yes, so heralded was Mike for discovering this diamond in the rough, this savior that could only prosper in the fabled and non-existent D'Antoni system...that the Knicks fired D'Antoni about a month after the entire Linsanity thing popped off. Quite a vote of confidence there. Reality, of course, is that D'Antoni only stumbled upon Linsanity due to having to play their 12th man in a bit of injured desperation. What's more, once the happy accident was discovered, Lin wasn't eating off "D'Antoni" plays - run outs, fast breaks, tons of 3's. This bum, as you call him, did most of his damage in the halfcourt - iso drives and standard pnr fare.
Bottom line, all of D'Antoni's NBA coaching experiences to date w/o Steve Nash as his starting point guard can most easily be described as failures. I can look up his winning percentage with and without Steve if you REALLY want to be at your computer screen.
The Gentry issue is a done deal, we been through it time and again already. I've watched every Suns game he's coached. You can't say the same. I've posted the numbers, stats that all reinforce what I've seen with my eyes. Been there done that multiple times on that other site. It's not the same shyt they were running when Mike was Phoenix, when Nash was winning MVP's with allegedly-inflated numbers that have since remained constant. It's not 7 seconds or less. They don't run or gun any more than the average team.
You, on the other hand, have a standard humble media quote giving props to his former mentor years ago, and the fact that you're black That's cool, its funny, that's fine for when you're fukking around w/ these posters but...nah, breh. You need more than that.
Those stunts don't work with me.
