Then why bring up the point? I like Clyde to death, but you can't use his arguments to take a shot at MD. Totally different eras, totally different basketball. Some of the stuff players are allowed even 5-6 years ago would get you in foul trouble almost immediately now.
I have yet to see a great measure that suggest MD's Phoenix team is bad defensively. And what Clyde suggested in the book shows he does not have a clue.
Because we have had a problem this year with having a short rotation. The guys out of the rotation aren't clear about their roles, lose interest, and then when D'Antoni decides he can use them or we need them they are just thrown into the fire and it hasn't worked out well for us.
You and D'Antoni know more about winning in today's NBA than Walt Frazier who doesn't have a clue? lol
When you make a claim like Phoenix was allowing the opponent to score so that they can run, there is something wrong no matter what your name is. The points he is making can be extended to each and every NBA team out there (from short rotations to the level of defensive intensity), so it sounds to me he is generally not happy with the overall style of play. Which may be valid, but says little about present.
