I was on the fire Avery bandwagon, but whether we want to admit it or not, we did did see amazing times with Avery Johnson at the helm. We beat the Spurs in the playoffs, we made it to the NBA Finals, Dirk won an MVP, and the defense improved dramatically. He inherited a good team, but those first 2 years his guys played their hearts out for him. They bought into the "system", they bought into his hard noses defensive ways and we were a better team because of it.

He has his downfalls, many of them to be honest. But Avery deserves credit. He did make a difference here. Everything comes to an end though, it was time for both parties to move in a different direction.

Good luck Avery.
