The way I see it, we finally have the ingredients to have a very special team. We have the point guard and the defensive center we've coveted. We have a bunch of very nice if not strong role players. We have two elite scorers. We have youth and we have experience and we have depth, especially when we get everyone back. And our defense has improved significantly.
To not at least give this a chance would be the most absurd thing we have done, and that's saying something.
That said, to me, it is all on D'Antoni. He has a team that a really good coach would take places. This is his final chance. No more excuses.
