who cares? That's their problem. Thankfully they're no longer our problem.
Even Suns fans hate that coach.
That is all.

I was thrilled by D'Antoni's coaching insights, as Mic e Tafoya relayed to viewers his strategy before the fourth quarter:
"Keep working, keep working, keep working. They're gonna start missin', and we're gonna start makin'. Keep working. Keep working, keep working, keep working."
His is a beautiful mind.
They need a new coach no doubt but D'Antoni is VP of Basketball Operations. Unless Sarver does something he is not going anywhere.
Shhhhhh.
"Energy guys. Hustle. Hustle. More energy."
That's about all he's worth.
They definitely have a championship calibur team. They have a PG with the heart of a champion. Now, they need a HC to instill a less pussified mindset, and maybe they can get to the finals.
Suns defensive philosophy: hope the opponent misses
He's an embarasment to the franchise with his every game meltdown.
There's more to coaching than what happens in the game itself, and D'Antoni, correctly I think, pretty much leaves a lot of the in game decisions to Nash. He's good at meshing player personalities and egos, and he's a good person. (I know, who gives a , right? But some of us do.)
It's like being coached by Rain Man.
I'm thinking Jeff Van Gundy. Nash can pretty much run the offense by himself, and JVG would probably give us some *gasp* defense. Maybe even (dare I say it) Larry Brown because of the championship pedegree.
It's 8:30. Time for an asskicking. Definitely time for an asskicking.
Then why not let Nash be a player-coach (ala Avery Johnson) and let D'Antoni go do Efferdent or Depends commericals?
Larry Brown would tear down your team and have everyone traded except Raja Bell. He hates the brand of basketball that the Suns play.
maybe that is ok..well not to tear the team down but where has Suns style gotten us? Nowhere.
D'antoni is a little . I agree. He should be fired. Get someone that knows a thing about defense and uses their bench.
I think he's available.
(Unless we get him first.)
I stick by my statement that if the Spurs and Suns traded coaches, the Suns would beat the Spurs azz.
Stan Van Gundy
Contrast the cool demeanor that Pop has on the sideline even in bad situations, instiling calm and confidnece with the frantic emotions D'Antoni displays. Not good Mike.
Carlesimo can head over to PHX, and JVG can be an assistant on the Spurs (poor guy looks stressed as ).
That would make for some interesting games.
D'Antoni's style of play and Nash's abilities blend very well together. If I was the Suns GM and I could keep that style in place while inserting a coach with a greater sense of poise and stability, that would be the ideal scenario. If another prospective coach is unwilling to keep the system in place, then I would keep D'Antoni around and hope that, with another year under his belt, he learns to instill a greater sense of discipline and composure into his more excitable players, such as Amare and Bell. Poise was what the Suns lack more than anything else compared with the Spurs.
Dumbass couldn't even call a timeout when they had three TOs left and it was a three possession game.
They should've snatched up Rick Adelman before Houston grabbed him.
I really didn't get that
