Not good for MDA to have to be in Phoenix and experience this kind of game against his old team.


Knicks embarrassed them in December, they returned the favor.

exactly......

But of course we'd rather it have been flipped. Them embarrass us early on and we hand/stick it to them yesterday. We're trying to build momentum going into the off-season not build momentum in doubt.

I dont see how anyone can rationalize the ass whipping they gave us. They were takings LAY-UPS.

It didnt even seem like they were playing hard. Anyone with League Pass would know this is common. Guys have a little run then its back to reality.

Blew a coverage right before the timeout.

Giddens also had some defensive lapses in another game. Maybe he has had trouble with his coverages?

i don't think i've seen MDA get in D Lee's face ever for missing a defensive assignment... i guess Giddens is his new whipping boy now that Nate is out of the picture.

rookies aren't entitled to a bad game every once in a while? so the Toney that was ballin' over the past several games making MDA look like a complete fool for not playing him all year wasn't the one he was watching in practice?

I have been encouraged by some positive fortitude from our young players, but Dougie still doesn't look like a point guard and Gallo as coach put it the other day has to understand be ready to go at "JUMP BALL" not because you're playing against "MELO". Gallo didn't play bad yesterday besides his incessant 3pt chucking but you clearly didn't see that "CUTHROAT" swagger from him yesterday. They have to bring it every night and not pick and choose.

Coach is a phoney, he hasn't got it in him to confront a vet, what kind of coach is he ?

He acts like an assistant when it comes to disciplining his veteran players who lapse on defensive assignments, but jumps all over a youngster for doing the same. Will the real MDA please stand up !

D'Antoni used to yell at David Lee alot last year.

D'Antoni chooses favorites every year.

Doesn't do it often, but I seem to recall him sitting Lee down a few times last year when he was not playing good D.

We also know that he confronted Nate- a vet (in years only) over his D.

As for Giddens- could there be something happening in their practices that cause him to be yelled at during the game for certain defensive mistakes?

very likely Giddens is earning MDA's frustration... i saw him slack on rotating out to cover the open 3 which spurred MDA's angry response, but i have seen guys like Duhon & Lee do the same on numerous occasions this season & they weren't reamed out on the bench by MDA that way... & no, i don't think it's a veterans/young guys thing cuz like you pointed out MDA was getting into Nate's face regularly for similar mistakes... i just find it funny why he doesn't react this way when his favored players are committing the same exact gaffes... the way this guy plays favorites is bad for building team chemistry... it can only lead to internal strife & feelings of bitterness from certain players towards their teammates & towards the coaching staff... if you're going to get in someone's face for making a mistake, u gotta do it to everyone on the team, whether they're teacher's pet or not... wouldn't that win him more respect from his players? eventually Nate had had enough of the constant badgering & picking on & wasn't hearing him at all... how can u coach a team this way & expect all the guys to respect you unless your entire team is a bunch of boyscouts?
