    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Press Release - Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson will coach the Western Conference All-Stars for the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, to be played on Sunday, Feb. 19 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

    Johnson and the Mavericks (32-10, .762) coaching staff earned the honor to coach the Western Conference All-Stars as a result of their 102-93 win over the Golden State Warriors this evening at The Arena in Oakland, clinching the best possible winning percentage in the Western Conference through games of Feb. 5.

    Head coaches for the East and West All-Star teams are based on teams with the best winning percentage in each conference following the Sunday games (Feb. 5) played two weeks prior to the All-Star Game.</div>

    Congratulations Avery Johnson!

    No surprise to me..I think its a well deserved call. I've been really impressed with him since he's taken over. He's definitely my runnerup for Coach of the Year behind Flip Saunders.

    It means that Popp was coach last year, and you can't be coach two years in a row.

    But at the moment (if we win today), we'll have the same win% as the Spurs

    At 33-10, Avery Johnson is the most impressive coaching performance this decade so far that i have seen. Did Phoenix go 33-10 last year at the start? and that was with Amare, Shawn Marion, Nash, etc. I really hope he gets Coach of the year. Flip Saunders doesn't deserve it cause he inherited a team full of disciplined pros. He totally landed on his feet. Avery though has a team of youngsters and players with some failed to live up to expectations type past - e.g Keith Van HOrn and others and he's got them all playing well...
