NBA coaches

While this is a rather old topic, I'm going to say my thoughts on it anyways because I have nowhere else to get it out at.

I don't think Mark Cuban should have fired Avery Johnson.  I mean, just because he couldn't take the Dallas Mavericks past the first round in the Playoffs doesn't mean he was a complete failure.  It's not his fault that the Mavs just had to get placed in Round One series with two underdog teams that shocked the world.  It's not Avery Johnson's fault that the Mavs are a bunch of old farts who are just getting slower and slower as the years go by.  But whatever.  20 bucks says the Mavs don't win Mark Cuban an NBA title for awhile.

D'Antoni is said to have talked to the Bulls administration (along with Avery).  Le sigh.  I love him for the Phoenix Suns.  Will the Suns' style of play be different with a new coach?  I hope not.

I don't want to start thinking about the possibility of Coach Nelson leaving Golden State.  So I won't go there.  I live and breathe watching Nellieball.  Granted, it also kills me but hell it's what happens!
