If the thread is base on MDA's change of the rotation or the mistakes he's been having since, ask yourself why is DLee having to set up the offense. yeah we had a little success playing avg teams, but when it came down to the spurs, lakers, cleveland, mavs..we couldn't finish games with the same rotation that were finishing games against lesser opponents.

I don't think mike has made to many mistakes rotation wise, and I think the fact that we have a horrible pg who hasn't set up anybody,it has been leading forcing guys into one on one action .

Some of you need to stop with al is a skilled player non sense, yes he's a good player,but in the clutch you can trust him about as much as dropping a coin in a slot machine and just Becuase he has the balls to make play down the stretch doesn't get him a pass, that's like saying its alright to play dumb as long as you play hard.

True. Many things on offense, and the need to play a zone with Jeffries having to guard the opposition PG when on defense, have to do with our own weakness at the PG position. MDA hates the 1/1 stuff, but he is forced to let people like Nate or Harrington operate solo because we have no guard who can create and set things up for his teammates.

I think MDA's biggest mistake was not having his team ready after training camp. a 1-9 start for a team coached by the third highest paid coach in the league is not acceptable. D'Antoni was in his second season and the only new guys, Hill, Landry,Darko and Douglas were not going to be given any playing time anyway. There was no excuse for that poor of a start and the lack of discipline and preparedness that the team had after spending a training camp with their second year 'marqueee' coach.

didn't u get the memo? 1-9 is never the coach's fault, only the players... it's only when we go on a 9-6 run that the coach has anything to do with it... get with the program!

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
