He had a DPOY in Tyson Chandler

I think Howard is more capable in defense than Tyson. But I think you can't always blame coach for the lousy defense. As all players say,defense is will. And there were some unwilling defensive players there. But hey,you know from the first hand living there. We'll see eventually.

This would be awesome if it happened. They've both worked on the Olympic team together actually.

I'm listening to 710 AM right now....don't count on Kurt Rambis based on the sound bites they keep playing of him lol.

[gque24]

Nate as Asst would be ok , but whats next we getting another asst coach from the US Team?

I think Howard is a better defender than Chandler but MDA still had one of the best defensive big in the league. But we'll see I hope I wrong but I don't have a lot faith in D' Antoni.

Rambis has the balls to critisise jim buss. Saying he is inexperienced and does not know about the triangle and that is ture.

Of course he's going to criticize him, Rambis was going to have a job and now he doesn't lol

Good I was hoping this would happen. I like most others was expecting Phil as coach but the facts are they chose DAntoni. Now while I'm skeptical like many I will wait to see what happens. DAntonis strength is offense so I am
looking forward to that. Obviously defense isnt as we all know so it's a must to bring in a defensive assistant and I expected McMillan to be at the top of the list. I would be happy with McMillan.

Yes.

[Cj2008nw]

Idk what Nate Macmillan will do for us... when Mike is still head coach

[Hollywood]

Nothing

[leor_77]

Why would Nate take this position? He's a very strong coach, and would likely get a head coaching job in very little time.

well he's not getting one this season. takes the job for the season, and then gets a head coaching gig next season

[GCMD]

Would be a good first step towards fixing our defensive woes...

[Majesty]

He had Woodson as his defensive assistant last year and the Knicks D wasn't good until Woodson actually became the head coach

You're aware during a stretch under Chandler the defense jumped to top 5 right? With Howard do you really think it won't do the same? Pau isn't Amare, and Dwight is better offensively and defensively than Chandler? Y u crying?

[bigfetz]

He had a DPOY in Tyson Chandler

Majorly over rated on D. He gets fouled out like crazy and also he may play decent D but his offense is so bad he's basically a taller Perkins.

[Windu]

Pau isn't Amare

What are you trying to say?

Bernie and D'antoni have already talked

@LakersReporter
Bernie Bickerstaff said he spoke to Mike D'Antoni; the only focus for Bickerstaff is trying to beat San Antonio tomorrow night.

@LakersReporter
Bickerstaff didn't want to speak for D'Antoni, but conceded that the presence of Nash makes it a hugely easier transition.

@LakersReporter
A few people around the team, including Bickerstaff just now, said Mike D'Antoni could be here on Wednesday.

@LakersReporter
Bickerstaff said he's sure Mike D'Antoni will know how to tweak his system for the current personnel. LAL brass obviously discussed that.

I hope this all bodes well for Bernie.

If we beat the Spurs tomorrow I think Bernie stays So I HOPE WE DO!

[WhatUSaid]

Pringles might be here Wednesday?

Busted leg or not, man up.

You have tons of work to do.
