    Nash was in Philly for our game and sat and had dinner with us at the arena. The funny thing is, he is actually a really cool guy.

    Crow would become an endangered species if this is true.........and I'd enjoy every last second of it.

    I've read both Darius and Mo quotes indicating that they've more then put DM's temper tantrum behind them... they claim they've had dinner together multiple times since.

    If they've buried the hatchet, then good for both of them. I just wouldn't want the two of them on my team if I could help it.

    good for you. I've never met Mo or observed him interact with guys at practice over time, so I'm kind of in a poor vantage to judge him (or anyone really) as a coach. For Miles... I'm not sure I would much care who the peripheral guys to my rotation were as long as they brought it in practice and didn't detract from the focus of the guys who do play.

    Well I guess what I meant was I wouldn't want both of them together on my team, even if they resolved their issues. Miles just isn't that good of a player anyway.
    And Mo, I think results speak for themselves without needing to observe him everyday in practice. He's a great players' coach, great guy off the court, but not the greatest X's and O's coach and was simply outcoached many times while in Portland and Philly which is partly why he is not employed.
    I'm sure he's got a lot to offer as maybe an assistant, but as a head coach? I don't know if he'll be given another opportunity.

    Aside from his lack of ability to evaluate talent, I never thought Nash was the real problem -- he sure did look like the fall guy for Patterson when he got canned.

    Has Nash's personality ever been questioned? He always seemed nice enough to me (mob boss look aside), taking the time to respond to emails and all. Too bad was a poor judge of talent and agonizingly passive when it came to trades.

    Patterson, on the other hand, was just a grade-A douchebag.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If his sister is a supermodel, I'd say she counts.

    She's too fat for my tastes. Look at the belly on her! She needs to keep doing those exercises to work off the pooch.
