D'Antoni: Playoff Runs Of Magic, Suns Validates My System

"They're reaffirming the blueprint that'll get us to a championship. And that's what we've got to do in New York."


Really!

Magic plays defense. Suns are playing better defense.

Knicks play NO DEFENSE!!!

The Suns taking out the Spurs the way they did should put up a RED FLAG on D'Antoni's coaching.

I've been browsing the Knicks forum for entertainment the past 2 days. There is some hilarious stuff there.

The fact that some players laughed when asked if DA preches D is really funny. The Suns teams he coached were straight up stacked and he couldn't get it done. Yeah these big FA had fun playing in his system in the Olympics but any smart player knows defense wins championships.

Apparently, Stephen A. Smith (I know, I know) said that Lebron was looking at the Knicks BEFORE they hired D'Antoni, and after seeing the team's lack of defense, he started to question whether he should go there or not.

I'm not defending D'Antoni, nor do i think that he spends much time on defense, but that little news bit was ridiculous. Ofcourse they practice defense man, even freaking Kiki practiced defense, its the NBA.

Non-factor. If James is willing to play for the Knicks, but doesn't want to play for D'Antoni, D'Antoni will be immediately fired.

^pretty sure that's from Jimmy Kimmel's show. They had a whole segment on Rumsfeld speaking, with them adding in all of these hand gestures. It was hilarious.
