Brad Stevens, coach of the Celtics, had a Matt Rhule moment in his post game comments last night after getting beaten by Lebron. "The pain is part of the path ". Rhule was overheard saying, "Darn, why didn't I think of that"?
Actually, Mike d'antoni had his Art Briles moment in Game 6. Like Art. Mike is known for not winning the big games and choking against great competition. Big lead and choke.
Add the fact d'antoni has had MVPs and individual award winners makes Art and Mike very similar. They ll never win the big one.
Mike has won a bunch of games but nothing with the championship on the line. Wins big in regular season, chokes in the post season.
