D'Antoni and McMillan make NBA history

[Shooter]

Before last night's game between Portland and New York, Knicks' coach Mike D'Antoni resigned. Within hours after the game, Portland coach McMillan was fired. Has that ever happened before in NBA history? I doubt it. Amazing.

Cool Story.

Nate would be an excellent coach for NY. Even the players have asked for a disciplinarian.

That's a great plan. Hire Nate, Jeremy Lin goes in the toilet, blazers can sign him for cheap!

The Blazers saw how well it worked for the Knicks to fire the coach and decided to copy the strategy.

Nate's idea of up tempo and defense resembles that of a 40's pickup game at your local 24 Hour Fitness!

You think his defensive game plan comes from the decade before he was born?? What would make you think that?

I think he's talking about 40 year olds playing a pick up game, not games in the 40's

So, will Nate and D'Antoni remain assistants for Coach K on the Olympic team?

I'm sure they will--unless they decide they don't want to. It certainly won't hurt their credentials.

And now Duke loses to Lehigh! Team USA is in great hands... Well, at least they'll have plenty of time to prepare.

 

[magnifier661]

Could this be the turning point of the season for both teams?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I just thought of something funny. Have we set another record? Has there ever been a team before with both an interim coach and an interim GM?

Good point. I doubt it. We're making history on all kinds of fronts!

Quit being pithy. This is a no spin zone.

You sure it's not the Twilight Zone?
