Just last week, Magic blamed Jim Buss...and part of that was because he didn't want to hire Phil Jackson. He's just saying things to get attention. He's been doing it for a few years, now. Until D'Antoni plays to Kobe and Howard's strengths, and stops trying to run this team around Steve Nash, we will continue to lose games. Kobe and Howard are superstars for a reason: almost ALL of their careers, they have been primary scorers AND are the guys that create for their teammates (Howard not getting credit in statsheets, of course, but he's the reason all of his teammates landed threes). Why does a 39-year old PG have the green light to not adjust, despite being a 50/40/90 shooter, and the two superstars have to change their games? Defensively, it's pretty obvious why we aren't getting it done. We don't have a defensive system in place, and we have three horrific defenders (Nash, Gasol and Jamison) on this team.
