MDA quite he gets loathed. If he did not, he gets loathed.

I think he should be commended for leaving. sometimes its better to just move on.

18-6 means he did the right thing for the franchise regardless.

Addition by subtraction ?

Rather than just being so negative about MDA, I think what Nalod is saying is that MDA could see he was not going to help the team to reach it's goals. So he stepped aside. Which we see was the right thing to do. It almost doesn't matter why he did it. He saw he wasn't helping and if he felt that he was not going to be able to get the job done, why should he stay and take the team down? If he stayed and the team continued to lose then he'd be blamed anyway. He knew the team had talent and he'd seen the team win under him so it's not like he didn't know they could play. For whatever reason Melo didn't want MDA as coach. He wanted Woody. Everyone knew that's why Woody was brought in and if MDA left or got fired it would be Woody who took over. All's well that ends well.

RIGHT ON.

I bet its because we didn't have Steve Nash to make MDA a good coach for us. Without Nash he us not even average. Not knowing how to win games with D was the other thing that did MDA in.

Strangely, I have grown to despise D'Antoni more since he left (originally I thought he should finish out the season rather than resign/be fired)- maybe it's seeing him pull EXACTLY the same s*** in LA, that he did here- throwing players under a bus just to make a 'quip' and look like a funny guy, no personal responsibility for anything going wrong, touchy about anyone who mentions defense, etc etc.

Everything is about proving his system right no matter what- I've never seen a coach become so obsessed

That's like an irrational personal hatred for a man that did nothing to you, he only helped you when he gave you the best basketball of the 2000s decade,

Please, man,

System, system, he's a coach, he has a way he wants to play, teams hire him to do this, what is the problem?

Every coach is different,

THE ONLY TRAGEDY IN ALL OF THIS IS THAT NEW YORK HIRED A GUY THAT NEEDS A HALFWAY DECENT POINT GUARD TO EXECUTE HIS VISION AND THEN THEY DIDN'T GIVE HIM THAT POINT GUARD!!! IF A SURGEON SAYS LOOK I NEED THIS AND THAT KNIFE TO CUT THIS MAN OPEN, THEN YOU GIVE HIM A RUSTED SPOON, IS THE SURGEON TO BLAME WHEN THE OPERATION GOES BAD? COME ON, SON, COME ON!!!! COME ON BRO!!

His quips? That's his personal style, if you don't like D'Antoni for his style then you probably hate bunnies and you would not feed starving animals
