One of the commentators hit the nail on the head when he said that the reason D'Antoni was so successful in Phoenix was because he had great shooters in joe johnson, Nash, barbosa, diaw, Richardson & stat. We don't have competent shooters on our current roster & it's despicable. All we have are 3 players who consume 90% of the cap, along with 10 other guys who are average players with zero spark.

That was Reggie and Fratello. It was a good point because they were saying that with the cast he had in PHX, Antoni could run his system with no problem but now he's trying to do too much with guys who have different skill sets and he's not adjusting. Having the 3 ball as your main weapon is no longer condusive when you lack 3 pt shooters. ADJUST!

It seems every new player we get ends up with a career high in 3pt attempts.

Seriously. D'Antoni's system works when you have 6 players on your roster that are hitting the 3-ball at 35% or higher.

Wed don't. Not a chance in hell.

If you coach 12 year olds and they take the most 3 pointers in the league with one of the worst shooting percentages you would tell them to STOP SHOOTING 3'S.....

Shumpert takes another 3 he should be shot....


FIRE DANTONIO AGAIN.

D'Antoni's system doesn't work. He had excellent individual defenders in Pheonix, but so much was placed on offense that they couldn't get past that hump. If you gave me ridiculous talent, I could make something out of that team, too.

D'Antoni is by far the most overrated coach in the NBA. Bottom five in coaching, for certain.

He does not know how to adjust with his team. Ridiculous. This game was an embarrassment. One of the announcers said it in the Philly game -- iso'ing Melo for 4 plays in a row is just not smart coaching... especially when he misses all four shots. Philly, on the third game of back to back to back's and without Spencer Hawes got back into the game because of poor coaching decisions and an unwillingness to tell Melo to chill with the ISO plays.

We saw further ineptitude the next night with the Grizzlies. Just pathetic. I guarantee they play better without Melo, because they will be forced to share the ball.
