You have number two backward, and it was even before MDA got off the plane.
And no one has been able to do number three, because Dwight fancies himself an old school post big, and doesn't want to play pick and roll ball. |
MDA two weeks after being hired.

MDA 8 weeks after being hired is only coach ever to bench Pau permanently.

And people actually support this clown |
Some revisionists here on LG even say Pau threw MDA under the bus, that maybe it was Pau's fault SMH. |
Even if he did Pau has two rings, MDA zero. |

I find this to be a pretty crappy argument.
A coach's job is to coach. A player's job is to play according to how the coach directs. |

The best thing about MDA....................is that he's gone!
NYers laughed at us when we hired that clown. We should have listened.
