[quote name='gokou36']IMO, Avery Johnson isn't a good coach, even tho he is new to it. I don't know what Terry was thinking, he didn't even try to block Nash's 3 point. He thought Nash was going to run towards the basket so he did the same. And as for not calling the timeout with around 5-6 secs to go, that was a big mistake on Avery Johnson as well. I'm guessing he thought they could win it in OT with Stoudemire being fouled out.
I'd blame Dirk for the OT loss. He threw a hissy fit at Terry for not fouling Nash. Dirk sucked that game, well entire playoff series too but thats my opinion
. Kinda funny how he yells at Terry when Terry had more points than him. Plus Dirk was 0/5 in OT. I still think Dirk Norwitzki is overrated.[/QUOTE]
no way Dirk is over rated. He played very well towards the end of the playoffs, and without Dirk there would have been no overtime (him and Terry took that game over) . Granted he should have played better, but he is still not completely used to creating his own shot on a consistent basis. We saw how the Suns struggled without Nash in terms of creating their own shots in many of the games.
also how can you say Avery is a bad coach? He only coached 20 regular season game, and 13 playoff games. I totally agreed with most of the moves he made, and it was almost a concensus that he was the best coach of the first round. After he gets his defense in place, and people like Dampier and Finley start to learn that they need to step it up, I think they will have a good shot of winning the West. They had a great chance this year, but did not capitalize, and I chalk that up to the team just quitting on the defensive end in the second half of just about every game (not much Avery can do when your players come out completely flat in the second half after playing amazing in the first).
inglutely stunning if for once in your life you actually posted something worth reading.
