IMO we're gonna need a lot more talent to even begin to imagine we can beat teams like the Heat & Lakers in any 7 game series... either that or some unbelievable shooting #'s from beyond the 3 pt arc.

Agreed. Barkley is right, they had more talent with D'antoni on the Suns. Amar'e wasn't even their best player, and they still came up short on their championship aspirations.

Only way I'll believe this system can win a ring is when D'antoni actually gets one.
