ha ha ha ha Dantoni winning a NBA championship is like diving off a 20 story
buiding head first hitting concrete and living to talk about it ha ha ha ha ha
Dantoni's flawed coaching wouldnt last a half a season in the NCAA...
Which is why he came one Robert Horry shove from winning the championship with the Suns. Say what you want about D'Antoni, but he has gotten closer to the championship than 90% of the other coaches out there.
Seriously.... blind hate is just ignorant. I don't like D'Antoni, but I won't blame every single damn thing on him. All the players like him. He's universally respected by other coaches who actually have played against him and know their shite. Most of his hate comes from bandwagon analysts and narrow minded people who always need a single scapegoat to blame all their problems on. His own players still think he's an offensive genius and blame themselves for not executing his gameplan when they lose. Its obvious D'Antoni has a decent degree of basketball knowledge and the best part is our players love him and other players want to come over to our team and play for him.
90% of being a good coach is having your team trust you and playing hard. Its really up to the players to win the game and execute plans. Look at the Wizards when they had Flip Saunders. He's known to the the thickest and most complicated playbook in the league. Unfortunately, his players are dumb as rocks and can't handle anything even close to an actual NBA play. Is it the coach's fault?
