I will give you this one, Nixluva, Nash isn't the same with D'Antoni. I do believe he benefits point guards because he let them just run without a set offense. I still believe he has issues that keeps him from becoming a great coach. Remember they are still 10-12 let's see how the season plays out.

Either you are not paying attention, or you are so anti MDA that you can't allow yourself to see that this team does run a set offense. Just because they play fast, doesnt mean they dont run a set offense. In fact, Coach K even admitted to adding some of MDA's plays to the Duke offensive schemes. This is a hall of fame coach, 30 plus yrs of experience who found MDA's offense so intriguing that he had to incorporate it.

The problem with the Knicks is NOT D'Antoni. He's been fine. I don't like a couple of things he's done, but they are tiny things.

I also have to say that saying that Duhon is only playing well b/c of the system is kind of dumb. Duhon is the one that runs the system! The system works because of HIM and if not for his play, then the whole team would collapse. He is, hands down, the MVP of our team, this season so far.

And credit goes to MDA and Walsh for realizing that Duhon had the right make up to be good in this system and lead the team on the floor. Duhon kind of reminds me of Billups a bit in terms of how he's leading the team and playing at such a high level after being a bit lost over his early career.
