Nah, not even lol. I feel like Ska and CP get way more worked up about this than I ever could. I'm just straight to the point about what I think.

My man, you have to think bigger picture.Funny, a month ago he was DEFENDING his squad when Kobe said that 10-9 was nothing to be proud of. MDA quickly told Kobe to shut up and he was happy with his young guys battling.
Now a month later, he tells jokes to keep folks at ease, and he's "lost his team" or "doesn't care" and "makes fun of his players"?
I guess you all are right tho, his team sucks this year. *half the roster is injured*
Any coach could get their team to play better *with half the roster*
It don't really matter at this point, keep him, fire him, don't bother me none. No coach is going to make this team good at this point in time. The bottom line is to keep them working, improving, and getting better individually. When the talent level is increased, then the expectations on the head coach can rise. Blaming him at this point is not smart, at all.
The losses are because of the injuries; the lack of significant success is because of him.
A parallel example to explain my point:
I'm cooking in a kitchen w/ a faulty stove and heating lamps... and (separate issue)... you notice a rat crawl across the floor.
I serve you your food.
It's burned (faulty stove), and cold (from sitting under the faulty heat lamps)
I get those things fixed. BRAND NEW stove, top of the line; HEAT SENSING LAMPS that adjust to the plate underneath them.
You eating at my place again after you learn of these new purchases?
OOOORRRR... is that separate issue going to prevent me from maximizing my business success?
Are we losing because of our injured roster? Yes. Once that's fixed, once we get that new stove and heating lamp, do I have confidence that all systems are a go for us to get a championship (which would be like me growing my hypothetical restaurant) just the way things are?
No.
That rat is going to keep you from coming back.
That rat... will continue to be the issue, wherever it goes.
Are other people copying his offensive schemes? Yes. If I bought a fancy stove and heating lamp that produced optimum results, would other people copy THAT ASPECT of what I did? Yes.
But would they copy EVERYTHING I did? Bring rats in their business?
No.
Issues need to be separated.
Just because people are copying his offensive schemes doesn't mean ALLLLL of him is to be praised and copied and hailed to the highest degree.
He's a great offensive coach; GREAT.
The end.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm always on this side of the monitor, chilling.
I'll let other people go through all that e-rage and internet anger thing.
I'm just extremely sarcastic, and longwinded.
And emotionless.
And stubborn.

The entire kitchen is controlled by the cook, MDA.
faulty equipment = broken players (this is a literal translation)
the rat = MDA's style as a person
That rat will frustrate attempts at GRAND success wherever it goes. Flashes in the pan... that Suns team, Jeremy Lin... will happen. But EPIC successes?
Nah.

Dat Real Talk.
May I borrow your kitchen for a minute?
I want some food.
You're makin said food.
But you need to have a stove, a range, a microwave, a crock pot, a mixer, a steamer, and a grill.
You don't have a mixer, or a steamer, but you make a damn good meal with what you do have.
Again, what I asked for, I didn't get. Because you don't have a mixer or a steamer.
I still ate. I ate good food. But I did not get what I wanted, cuz you didn't have the right tools in the kitchen.
You are judging Mike on the basis that he has not won.
And he hasn't.
NOR, has he ever had all the right equipment in the kitchen.
When you say IF he got all his players back, he still wouldn't win, you forget that we don't actually know that, he hasn't had that.
You do remember that his Suns team lost PRIME Amare for the whole season, and they still went and won 60+ games, right? And I'm not much of an Amare guy (read, like at all) but losing a 24 year old explosive PF in a Western Conference that features Duncan, Dirk, Pau, KG, Randolph, I mean........?
Again, add those pieces together. Mike took a Suns team, in 2006, that GAVE away draft picks (we've spoke on that), let Joe Johnson go for 8 cents on the dollar, then lose Amare, in his prime, for the whole year, and play in a conference that was LOADED at that position, and yet, he put up 60+ wins and made the conference finals?
Your belief is this, had we waved our magic wands, gave him Amare, gave him Rondo, gave him Deng, gave him Nate, gave him Rudy, gave him Gortat, ALL THOSE PIECES HE COULD-SHOULD have had, he wouldn't have Iono, won a couple more games maybe when the going got real tough? That's not possible? Not at all? Mike's kitchen was full, at that moment in time?
We don't need to go thru all the picks and stuff again, we know the drill, but the last two paragraphs tie directly to your kitchen analogy when you said this......
Cuz see, nobody fixed his stove, or his heating lamp. They traded them away, and then microfractured his knee.
If those things don't happen, maybe the rat has a ring on his finger.
And by the way, that's just 2006.
In 2007, he did get Amare back. And they once again went to the conference finals. And they were winning. And then, Stern suspended Amare and Diaw for stepping on a line with their toes. For that, Stern took away their two best bigs, against the damn Spurs for heavens sakes. Without even worrying about sold draft picks, having Amare back almost got them to the finals that year, in which they would have MOPPED UP a title on the Mike Brown Cavs.
Amare and Diaw didn't even engage Horry man. They stepped 2 feet past a damn line. And were removed from a crucial game for it. Over something A SPUR did, not even their own team was at fault.
I really can not understand how you know those 2 seasons, all the ingredients I have told you, multiple times, and yet you refuse to believe that had those things (beyond Mike's control) not taken place, the team (led by Mike) would have had REAL chances at not only 1 title, but possibly 2.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the suffering the Suns endured those two years, hell yes I loved them getting robbed. But if we puttin all the cards on the table, and we speakin honest, I'm sorry, all those picks + Amare and no suspensions would have amounted to more than 120+ wins and back to back Conference Finals. They could (and should) have had some jewelry. Mike can't control a cheap owner. (and check, he's still cheap, even years later). He can't control a guy having microfracture surgery. He can't control Stern being an ******* and not reading a situation. (the Spurs should have been the team punished for Horry's play, not the damn Suns, typical Stern play right there)

You don't want me to literally read EVERY word.I'm askin you to honestly read every word down to the end of my last post. (you'd most likely be the only one to do so) And remember your EPIC success comment that Mike "can't achieve"
Not yet you don't.
