Posted Wednesday April 30, 2008, About: Parcells stalking weight room

Parcells is the Larry Brown of the NFL. He's going to make Miami competitive again, starting this year. I'm thinking with their schedule an 8-8 season is very possible depending on how the QB position pans out.

Bing in Artest and the team becomes much better on paper. Camby's an overrated defensive player, but still very good. J.R. Smith off the bench can turn into instant offense and A.I./Melo can score all night long. Bring Artest in and that fills the need of an ace defender/team psycho. If Iverson opts out I would try for a blockbuster deal involving Carmelo. Possibly something having to do with the Chicago Bulls young stars. The team needs to clean up it's act as a whole in order to be competitive in the West.

Posted Wednesday April 30, 2008, About: Source: D'Antoni out as Suns coach

This is a great basketball coach who sometimes let's his emotions get the best of him. I hope this was a spur of the moment (no pun intended) decision that was made out of frustration so that he can reconsider a few weeks/days from now. As far as the whole Steve Kerr debriefing meeting that D'antoni neglected to attend; Kerr makes solid points as to how to improve the team. Play better/more consistent defense, find an heir apparent for Steve Nash, and create a better bench rotation. They have ALL of the tools in Phoenix to win a championship. It's a matter of how much longer Nash can play at a high level and some improvements on defense.
