Mitchell would stay where he's at in Utsh, but have Phoenix's roster in the playoffs. That's what I read and responded to.Split T wrote:In2ition wrote:I think people would wonder how the heck did Utah make the playoffs with that garbage.Indy wrote:I read this somewhere (maybe even here), but imagine how good Booker would be regarded league-wide if you switched the Utah and Phoenix rosters but kept Mitchell and Booker where they are.Superbone wrote:Watching Mitchell in the playoffs makes me really long for the day Booker plays his first playoff series with the Suns.
That team is built to dominate defensively and Mitchell keeps them from bottoming out offensively. Booker is better than Mitchell offensively and would get a lot of credit for carrying a top seed on offense.
I don't think he meant switching now for the playoffs. Mitchell with the Suns roster obviously doesn't make the playoffsIn2ition wrote:Mitchell would stay where he's at in Utsh, but have Phoenix's roster in the playoffs.

The only person you can swap Booker with in the NBA that gets this roster to the playoffs is LeBron.Split T wrote:I don't think he meant switching now for the playoffs.

I figured. I was just joking, but obviously not very funny, haha.Split T wrote:I don't think he meant switching now for the playoffs.

Well I continue to repeat. The best coach certainly does not always win but by a wide margin the team with the best player or players almost always win. It is a players league.Flagrant Fowl wrote:I'd be really happy if D'Antoni managed to win a ring, even with Houston, which really shows how much I appreciate what he did in Phoenix. However, until he's able to do it, I'll always think that he'll come up short for the same reasons he has before.
You know you could be right. I may be confusing this site with Arizona Sports Fan Network. There are posters over there that seem to have a personal vendetta against the guy.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Hey JWB, you are repeatedly defending Mike D'Antoni from a supposed claim that he is the worst coach ever. I don't think anyone here is making that claim. He's an imperfect coach, but a very good one; and he did quite well in Phoenix, and he's doing a phenomenal job now in Houston. Is there anybody in this thread or on this site who is claiming otherwise? We're all on the same side on this one, is what I'm saying.
I think the sixers have a shot at beating everyone. I will not be surprised if they are our new champions come June.Split T wrote:I hope the bucks win that series. I think the sixers will beat either team fairly easily, but at least we can see Giannis vs Simmons
I'd be shocked. I cannot see them beating either Houston or Golden State.JustWinBaby wrote:I think the sixers have a shot at beating everyone.

Yeah, I don't think anyone said he was bad, he just had his warts, like every coach. MDA gets a ton out of the players in his system, it just seems to fail in the playoffs because of his lack of ability to adjust on the fly when something isn't working. No coach is perfect, although Popovich seems pretty damn close.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Hey JWB, you are repeatedly defending Mike D'Antoni from a supposed claim that he is the worst coach ever.

That's kinda where I'm at. I think the sixers are going to the finals and I think they can take a game or two from Golden State, but they're not ready to win it all. Although, they have a roster that's built to beat the warriors.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:I'd be shocked.
