OT: Mike D' Antoni Resigns

[PapaG]

A lot of posters over the years (myself not included) have wanted to see D'Antoni coach the Blazers.

Is Stotts coaching for his job?

 

[magnifier661]

Wtf?! Hellz. No

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Swap coaches! :MARIS61:

Probably going after Byron Scott now.

 

[maxiep]

The Buss' have always been racist against Italians.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm sure Nate is available.

I actually think Mike D'Antoni would do pretty well in Portland the way the team is constructed but Stotts does have the Blazers playing well right now.

If only he'd had a healthy Steve Nash. Against us late in the season, Nash looked great, dishing out assists. Let's look it up.

Wow. That was Nash's best game all season (see GmSc and +/-).

Edit: Click the yellow box, Advanced Game Log, and check out that game's ORtg. And vs. Houston a week later.

If the Blazers loose games 6 & 7 I think it very well could be looked in to.

Stotts hasn't really done anything to lose his job. I would love to see the man with another quality bench player or two.

 

[KingSpeed]

Stotts is doing a great job. Not interested in a coaching change.

D'Antoni would have been better coaching the Blazers this stint. But no, I have no interest in releasing Stotts for him.

I hope not. I would still rather have Stotts.

 

[ripcityboy]

Stotts has done enough to guarantee his job. At least through his work in the playoffs. It is easy to look at another coach and wonder what they do.

 

[dviss1]

Do we really want to get WORSE on Defense and never win a championship? I'm good....

On another front L@kers declare they are interested in Thibodeau. Sure, no problem. Just go get him. After all, you are the @#$#%# L@kers. I'm sure Chicago will just hand him over.

Interesting contrast though from Mike D.

The Lakers have no direction... They don't have the pieces to make Thibodeau a successful coach. Unless they have the most perfect offseason ever they're just gonna have to ride this bitch out until Kobe retires then actually build the team around a young player.

 

[magnifier661]

Holy shit! Who would even consider this hack over Stotts?! Show of hands... I want to know the people I need to put on ignore

Maybe they could give Chitown their lottery pick, lol. Isn't that how the Clippers got Doc Rivers?

Stotts > D'Antoni
