As opposed to the D'Antoni method, which ended in the same result. No le. STFU. GTFO. kthxbye.
Yeah..they should go with the Avery Johnson method....OH WAIT!!!!!!

So what are you saying?
D'Antoni doesn't play his starters as much and this prevents them from being suspended?
Please tell me youre joking.
No, I'm saying you have no place calling out another team's coach's method, when yours is equally le-less.
Why not? Im not Mike D'Antoni.
D'Antoni has his own faults. Maybe a more disciplined team would have stayed on the bench, but the minutes disbursement had nothing to do with the Suns' misfortunes.
Avery sitting his players during the end of the season is one of the reasons they had such a collosal meltdown.
Anyone else remember Ponky, Monos1labk and FinDog LAUGHING at D'Antoni playing his guys for in meaningless games?
Oh!!! THE IRONY!
One person's reason for a colossal meltdown is another's example of minutes-managing. Shwatev.
Yes, it's true. Even though he gets the biggest check (and is grossly overpaid), Marion still doesn't feel like he's loved and respected. Go figure.
I wanna die that the effin' Mercury have a le and the Suns don't. I mean, to be a butch girl right now!!!
I have a wild comment. The problem with the Suns is their coach. Forget that they have one of the most athletic and talented teams in the NBA, their coach just doesnt learn. year after year he still tries win with more offence. each year, a defensive team takes them out of the hunt. He burns out one of his best players (nash) and doesnt give just due for an unappreciated Shawn marion. The Coach creates the team chemistry and this team obviously does not have it. i actually like the players on this team. There are some quality people and athletes. In my opinion though, their coach does not have a feel of the pulse of this team and lets things get out of hand. I wonder if he just doesnt know or if he just doesnt have the expereince to deal with these personalities. Heck, even pop took along time learning how to deal with players, but the suns coach seems stuck on doing things his way only. Will this ever change?
Time will only tell, but their window of oppertunity is closing fast.

Could've fooled us.
dumb_suns_fan,
shouldn't you be reveling in the glory of your Phoenix Mercury being victorious in the WNBA Finals?
At least in that sense you can say that your city holds a le that San Antonio does not, right?
I think it's obvious from the effort the Mavs put forth in that series that they were going nowhere this year in the playoffs anyway. They had no intensity.
The Spurs would have swept them. Even the Suns would probably have taken them apart.
looking forward to another Suns drama-queen meltdown next season.
Diamondbacks won the world series in 2001.
What's sad though is that Spurs fans are JEALOUS of a WNBA le? Are things that boring in San Antonio? The Mercury's le was a distant second to the Cardinals victory over the Seahawks yesterday (which I went to) in the local media. San Antonians seem to care a lot more than we do!
What did Phoenix do in the playoffs last year that was so impressive? Beat Kobe and 10 D-Leaguers? Wow, that's awe-inspiring. Phoenix and Dallas are 2 of 29 teams that came up short, at least the Mavericks don't whine about "unfair rules" and the Spurs "being mean" when they don't win. I'm surprised you're able to type with such a tender vagina.
they also repeatedly let the spurs get out to big leads, leaving themselves to play from behind. but they should have won the series.
The main reason the Suns will never win a le.......3 first names i.e. Mike Dan Toni.
He is a bush league coach with a lot of talent but can't figure out how to make it all work in the playoffs.
If Pop or Riley or Phil were the coach of the Suns over the last 3 years they would have at least 2 les
Black star is way better then the Sun
FinDog is on a quest this summer to put all teams who didn't win the le in the same boat as the Mavs.
Sorry FinDog, there's losing, and then there's what happened to the Mavs!
He's also come to terms with the fact that Dirk was an embarrassing MVP, but he always follows it up with "so is Nash".
Sorry FinDog, Nash's post-season performances have never embarrassed anyone. Spurs fans can attest that Barbosa and Marion played crappy against the Spurs, but Nash brought his A game night in and night out. You can bust his nose open and he'll still be outstanding.
Spurs fans agree?
07 Warriors > 07 Lakers. Sorry, but Phoenix didn't accomplish anything Dallas didn't: 60+ regular season wins and an early exit. Dress it up all you want, but both teams had a disappointing end to their season. At least the Mavs and their fans took it without complaining incessantly about crooked refs and conspiracies.Sorry FinDog, there's losing, and then there's what happened to the Mavs!
Dirk's playoff resume is better than Nash's. Nash can't beat the Spurs and Nash can't get his team to a Finals. I would love to play the LA teams every time out.Sorry FinDog, Nash's post-season performances have never embarrassed anyone.
Suns should buy out Marion... then we can sign him cheap
They hypocracy of FinDog CONTINUES.
In one statement, he says the Suns didn't accomplish anything the Mavs didn't since they didn't win the championship.
In the next, he says Dirk's playoff resume is greater than Nash's because Dirk has made it to a Finals.
So the only parameter to be used when judging two teams is whether they won the le, but you can use whatever you want when judging the careers of two players?
Here comes the SPIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were talking about the 06-07 season, correct? Neither team made a deep playoff run.In one statement, he says the Suns didn't accomplish anything the Mavs didn't since they didn't win the championship.
Can't dispute that either, can you, chump?In the next, he says Dirk's playoff resume is greater than Nash's because Dirk has made it to a Finals.
You use team success to judge teams. How is that hard to understand?So the only parameter to be used when judging two teams is whether they won the le,
but you can use whatever you want when judging the careers of two players?
If we're comparing who has accomplished more in the playoffs, and those two players happen to be Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash, Dirk has accomplished more. Those are just facts. Put your own spin on it if you want, but I'm just making an observation.
By the same token, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal have pretty much everybody beat.
Pop did the exact same thing this season and in 2005. What killed the Mavs was that they weren't nearly as sharp of a team after the all-star break as they were before (just like the 06 Pistons), and Dirk wouldn't play on the block.
Duncan schools most everyone. The point is that Thomas was really there only decent post defender. amare is undisciplined and gets in foul trouble very easily and other than Marks who we know first hand isnt a post defender who else do the have? Diaw? Marion?
Thomas was doing a pretty decent job that series of keeping Duncan away from the basket nad holding his position. noone else on the Suns roster even has a chance.
The lack of post defenders is going to effect them moreso than just the Spurs as well. They are going to have to outscore people more than ever becasue their defense took a major hit.
