D'antoni is not the problem though he could be next year. Kerr is the one that fucked up.

I disagree - I think Kerr makes very good points about attention to detail, discipline, and defense being keys to getting past San Antonio and coming out of the West.

Once he and D'Antoni find a middle ground, then this team still has enough talent to contend in the conference. It seems like Mike D is trying to leave his own legacy of speed-up basketball instead of doing what it takes to win. Developing the bench during the season is key to playoff success as well (see: Julian Wright).

Amare doesn't have to be a strict low-post scorer, but they definitely should have tried to run plays involving him at the end of the game yesterday no matter how good Diaw has been. Like he did in Game 1, D'Antoni tried to get too cute at the end of the game.

How long has it been since the Suns had an actual point guard on the roster other than Steve Nash? Nash won two MVP awards because the team couldn't get the fucking ball past half court when he was on the bench. Earlier in the series D'Antoni said the problem with the Suns was their offense. If those two things don't convince you that he's the problem then nobody can help you.

Ummm... Barbosa? If he's not a pg what the fuck is Tony Parker? You don't just go out and get a true pg. There's only about 5 of em in the league. Calderon, Deron, Paul, Nash and Kidd if you want to include his broken down ass.

Barbosa is not a PG. He's a slasher/shooter, but he can't run an offense. He is small, can dribble and make open passes, but that doesn't make him a PG.
