We'll see the return of Steve Bagel
Dwight will be saddled with early foul trouble
Early will look like a lost duckling on defense
Metta will take step-to-the-left fading threes
Nash will have 17 turnovers
Jamison will be ice cold from 3
Meeks will forget that he isn't Kobe Bryant again
Suns in a blowout, 115-92
Oh, and we'll have that bald headed sociopath Joey Crawford as lead ref, too. That'll be icing on the cake. |

This isn't a jab at anyone. It is a statement of confidence in Dan Toneeeeee's system (duh) and in the current roster's ability to execute on it.
Anyone surprised that Dan Toneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee feels this way hasn't been paying attention. |

what's more interesting is that other thread about Dantoni being afraid of Kobe with that quote about how Kobe can be a "loose cannon" and may give directions to the players on the court that contradict what he's telling them.
I love Kobe and hate Dantoni, but that's gotta be extremely frustrating for a coach to deal with, especially since it's clear Kobe has more authority than him with the other players. |

About as frustrating as a coach that wants to run and maximize possessions when he has the oldest backcourt in the league and multiple great post up players but doesn't want them to play in the post? |

The only great postup players are Gasol and Kobe. And I think for the most part he's let Kobe post up quite a lot this season.
My point wasn't that Dantoni is right in everything he's doing or what he's saying to the players (I thought he had been mostly wrong for the first half of his stint). I'm was just stating that it must be difficult for a coach to coach a team when one of his players has a louder voice than him. Imagine coaching a team and your star player has a huddle of his own and tells the team to do something different from what you instructed. |

Not really. Ding a ling just adding his own drama to the quote.
Mda wasnt taking any jabs |
looks like the "Hey, Kobe..." was Ding's addition |
Ding used to be decent. What happened to him? He's worse than most tabloid writers now. |

| It's pretty annoying, because Suns are an inferior team, but because of our back to back, they have a pretty decent chance to win. |

Hey Silver, I think you're quoting Kevin Ding with the Kobe insinuation, not D'Antonni.

D'Antoni did said that. I saw it in the post-game interview yesterday.

That's what I was getting at Silver. You're quoting Kevin Ding, who is extrapolating from a quote by D'Antoni. It's an old smoke and mirror journalist maneuver to use a quote to bolster the writers opinion. Making it appear it was the intent of the person he's quoting. When in fact, you're just quoting the writer and his opinion. |

MWP can't take 15+ shots if he's not shooting above 50%, don't jack up threes if u can get an easy basket inside
37 - 32 hopefully |
Well. In march Ron is avg 15.1ppg on 47% shooting. (17.4ppg on 50% shooting over the last five games) I don't understand the Ron hate. |

I call you on this BS and raise you a garansheeded Laker victory. I agree with you about Joey Crawford though. I can't stand his old ass. |

Jodie Meeks needs to step up his game tonight. 2 bad games in a row. Time to produce.
