Clearly, he should say the Suns are at the bottom of the group of teams with winning records and that they are clearly worse than the Lakers and that their fluke style of play won't ever get them a championship. Is that what he is supposed to say?
During the Clippers game last night Mike Smith (Clippers announcer) said he had a conversation with D'antoni and asked him if he was worried/nervous, especially with a game with the Lakers coming up.
D'antoni answered:
"No I am not nervous, we are fine, we are the best team in the league, and we are a better team then they are" (referring to the Lakers)
They get pounded by all the top teams (+ the Clippers/T-Wolves) have already lost to the Lakers twice this year, but thinks he has the best team in the League.
This guy is seriously delusional. Sounds like he's trying to save face because he knows his team is on the verge of being inconsequential. Talk about being arrogant as well as a whiny .
Only way they can win is because Bynum's out or else it would be another drubbing by the Lakeshow.

Until we advance further than them in the playoffs or beat them head to head...reg season games mean jack. Yes, I want my boys to win, but the real smack talking doesn't happen until playoffs. Is D-antoni a ...yup.
Pretty much.
How about not even saying anything about being the best team in the League. He wasn't asked that question. All he had to say is "We're not worried, the season is still young. We will be ready when the playoffs come around."
Saying his team is better than teams like the Spurs and Boston is laughable. I don't even consider them legit contenders anymore.
This is more about him saying his team is the best in the League.
You would have thought his playoff exits would have taught him some humbleness.
he should say neither. A little class when talking would be nice, but what do you expect from a puss.
wow, I seriously hope the suns lose so badly to the lakers that they just shut down the franchise completely so we won't have to hear from D'antoni ever again
Bingo.
There's nothing wrong with the guy talking positively about his team. If he wants to say they can "hang with the best of the league", maybe even go as far as to self-proclaim them "one of the best in the league"...that slight spin on the words puts down a whole different connotation.
If anyone is going to say something like that, let it be the opponent. But even the Spurs, or the Celtics of this year, know better than to go throwing terms like "Best in the League" around, especially to the media. All it does is add fuel to opponents' fire and set you up to look like a jackass.
Especially coming from a guy who has done nothing but orchestrate perennial playoff flameouts in Phoenix and a franchise that is still waiting for its first ring.
Maybe he thought they were talking about the ratings for the upcoming period...
Guess whose picture squints back at you when you look up "false bravado?"
The Suns will not advance past the 2nd round again this year. Book it!
Damn I wish he wouldn't say things like that.
He keeps doing stupid like that and getting bounced in the playoffs they are going to get rid of him and he as Phx's coach is the best thing for the other teams in the west.
They won't get past the 1st round if thy meet the Lakers
ratings championships!!!
d'antoni is d'lusional...
bynum will get a double double on amare from the bench.
Might as well cancel the Finals then since the Suns are the best
On paper, i would say they have the most talent but obviously they have lost their luster when playing as a team.
Certainly don't say "We're better than" the team they're about to play. No need to give them any extra fuel....especially a team with Kobe Bryant on it. He's just a moron.
there is a difference between players that can shoot 3's or dunk, and talent.
I would say they are 6th best in the league right now, behind (in order) Celtics, Pistons, Lakers, Dallas, and San Antonio.
Sounds pretty scared to me!During the Clippers game last night Mike Smith (Clippers announcer) said he had a conversation with D'antoni and asked him if he was worried/nervous, especially with a game with the Lakers coming up.

They might not even be the best team in the Pacific Division when Bynum is healthy.
Fire this D'Antoni putz.
Spurs better handle their god damn business this year.
The media bias will be on so thick this year if they meet Suns in playoffs again.
