Good job by the Mavs and Suns (seriously)

Posted on: June 20, 2008 8:55 pm
 

...on getting rid of their vastly overrated head coaches.  Everybody talks about how the players need to be held accountable for the failures of the Mavs and Suns, but I'm here to tell you, the coaches didn't do their part, either.  It is an absolute travesty that Avery Johnson and Mike D'Antoni have each won a Coach of the Year Award.  As shown in the Mavs/Warriors series in 2007, Johnson doesn't make adjustments when his team is down, and he often has the wrong players on the floor in cruitial moments.  D'Antoni simply doesn't care about defense.  That was a poor hire by the Knicks, and mark my words, their woes WILL continue.  Isiah wasn't the only problem.

So Mavs and Suns fans, even though you guys have been frustrated in you efforts to win a Championship, you can at least say that you got a good start to your ofseason and are in better position to do better next year.

I actually like replacing Mike D'Antoni with Terry Porter but, even though I'm a Carlisle fan, I'm not sure if he's that much of an upgrade over Avery Johnson.  They seem, more or less, carbon copies of one another.  But it was obvious changes had to be made in Dallas and they made the right decision to fire Avery Johnson.  There's just not many quality coaches available anymore.

I'm not Carlisle's biggest fan either, especially after his awful final two seasons with the Pacers.  However, I've had some second thoughts of him.  Maybe he could do better with a more talented team like the Mavs.
