Again, as I've written and said on TV, Phil wanted total control and say over the direction of any franchise he went to, a la Riley/Miami.

Phil wanted crazy money, personnel control and didn't want to travel to many road games. It was never going to work.

Mike D'Antoni, are you kidding me!? Well Steve Nash will be in a comfortable offense. Start sizing up LBJ's second ring.

You've never seen Mike D'Antoni and Mike Martz in the same place at the same time and you never will.

WTH is Buss thinking!? D'Antoni isn't a championship caliber coach, man. This is a mistake, a big mistake.

Phil Jackson has earned the right to ask for the moon; he wins titles. Mike D'Antoni isn't a championship coach.

He's stubborn, his system fails in the playoffs. His in-game adjustments are nonexistent. His rotations are too short. His communication with players out of rotation sucks. His attention to defensive details are laughable.

This guy isn't the right guy for the job, man.

What the hell is Jim Buss doing!? Nate Mcmillian, Brian Shaw, Jerry Sloan, Stan Van Gundy ... anyone, but D'Antoni.

I'm assuming Buss didn't have Jerry Sloan's number. Sloan, Mcmillan, Shaw, Van Gundy, Dunleavy, even, ReggieTheus!

This Mike D'Antoni this is a mistake, man.
