Who Has the Best "Combined" Roster: LA or NY?

[tredigs]

I'll take the team with the 3 best players, proven playoff champions and all stars on the bench in this 7 game series. Call me crazy.

You can make a case for Woodson, but Avery is definitely not better than him.

Avery has actually coached a team into the NBA finals what has Antoni ever done??

[lvlheaded]

D'Antoni is probably the best coach out of the 4.

I agree that the LA team has this one by a lot, but I have to disagree with you in the coaching category. I dont think any of the 4 coaches have a distinct advantage over the other.

D'Antoni's offense is superb but his defensive is non-existent

Woodson is a great D coach, but his offense lacks creativity

Avery just isnt my cup of tea

And I personally dont think VDN is that good of coach, but thats just me

It's a fact D'Antoni is the best coach. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not fact.

Woodson took the same team he was sinking into the playoffs. Was a multiple playoff appearance coach in Atlanta, won the Finals as Brown's assistant. Oh yeah, and he coaches both ends of the floor. NEXT!

How can you say that? Avery took his team to the Finals. I think we'll see how good the Lakers are when they take the 6th seed and get bounced in the 1st Rd with D'antoni.

Agree with everything except the bold. Woodson's very creative on both sides of the ball, like Sheed said he draws up plays like a wizard. Mike Woodson's offensive mediocrity is a myth, this year shows that.

There isn't a distinct advantage, but D'antoni is better.

Have the most wins out of the 4.

BTW, D'Antoni would've made the championship had he not been robbed.

Mike Brown led his team to the finals. He's worst than 3 of the coaches we're discussing.

Too bad h'es not as successful as the other coaches.

D'Antoni's offense is crap if he doesn't have exactly the right pieces and guys like Kobe and Blake aren't the right pieces.

[AsfanSince99]

LAL/LAC records: 18-14
NYK/BKN records: 23-9

He never had Steve Nash either. A blind monkey could win 55 games with a prime Steve Nash. D'Antoni is an awful coach. Period.

Blake can basically replicate Amar'e. He'd thrive the most on that team.

So were just going to assume his team would of beaten a prime Duncan, Parker and Ginobili had they not been suspended? Long shot.

Antoni's PHX were regular season champs and postseason chumps
