    probably? shouldnt it be most definitely? in fact he isnt my, and shouldnt have been anyone's, choice - at all.

    i am not even sure he's "a significant upgrade" over mchale. and anyone is an upgrade over jbb. so that's not saying much.

    Maybe another go at Ty Lawson? He's still primo very gooood in a D'Antoni system. Beg for forgiveness and let him binge on Louis Vuton for 3 days straight to make up for any ills.

    Golden state principles are the same as Dantoni's.
    Versatile offensive players with pace and space.
    The difference is that we just need better players because
    Curry > Harden
    Klay > ?
    Green > Dwight
    Barnes = Ariza
    Bogut > Beverly
    Iggy > Brewer
    Livingston > Beasely
    Speights = Dmo

    So basically we need a starting level player who is abgreat three point shooter, a versatile defensive anchor and a bunch of good bench players.
    Morey good luck.

    I hope he get some good shooters and utilize the Warrior's moving screens stategy where nearly play involves a moving screen and the refs won't be able to call them all so they don't call none.

    We have needed that for a while, but for whatever reason Morey has not looked for that terrific 3pt shooter and when we got a decent one, we jettisoned him for free - Thornton.

    Hope is NOT a plan. As for having faith that this will work out, sorry but this organization has done nothing to justify that. The best thing one can do is to bury one's head in the sand and pretend it's 2008...in Phoenix.

    I think overall Mike 'Anthony will be fine. Offense should improve and our defense was any way garbage, can't get much worse. So I see an overall improvement

    I expect to see a new coach before we ever see the playoffs again.

    We will be the 76'ers of the western conference.

    No one will come and play here.

    The next superstar we see on a Houston playoff team is now playing in Middle School.

    Being a tad better than McHale on paper does not mean anything.

    And Milkhair was better than most people thought he was.

    He was a tad above average, he brought in good results.

    Good post DD. At the end of the day the decision has already been made. At this point you just gotta see it first who knows it might work out. No sense b****ing because the Rox have a lot of good things going for them, space for 1 or 2 max players with Harden already on the team and a lot of star players going to be on the move.
