[IronMexican]

Damn. Half a season? Pringles is smiling.

[xtremesteven33]

Its about time.

[sook]

safe to say this season is the one with the most coaches fired?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

No I didn't, this is the first thread to post that he has been fired.


I was getting on to start it, but I'm in such ecstasy right now I don't care.

[shelshor]

Maybe the Suns can pick up Del Negro as Porter's replacement after the Bulls come to their senses

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I know this is getting excessive but.


PORTER IS FUCKIN GONE!!!! NO MORE RETARDED DEFENSIVE SCHEMES OR 20 TURNOVERS A GAME!!!! NO MORE PORTER!!! NO PORTER!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManuTP9]

[sook]

Nash please come here to hou

[DPG21920]

This is nucking futs.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

this is nucking futs.

fuck yeah it is!!!!

[I. Hustle]

What is going on? Who is going where? For who?!


I would laugh if the Suns got AJ. It would crack me up.

[Spur-Addict]

This came sooner than I thought it would.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Supposedly, and this is probably just a nerd on Realgm who made up a rumor, but Dudley has been traded. The team and opposing player is unknown.

[sook]

so who the fuck is going to coach your team now?

[I. Hustle]

This just in:

Nash is now player/coach

:lol

[mardigan]

Xylus will be pleased.

[DPG21920]

I like Dudley, he is a solid guy.

[IronMexican]

Expect a drunk Xylus post tonight

What's the source of this?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

what's the source of this?

ktar

[Shank]

ktar

Is that a Star Trek character?

[RsxPiimp]

What's the source of this?

my nutz bish:toast

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Is that a Star Trek character?

no it's a radio station moron.

[Shank]

no it's a radio station moron.

You think?

[IronMexican]

[I. Hustle]

ktar

My brother was stationed there.
















I know that's not how it's spelled

[Shank]

Can I call bullshit?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Ya know I'm starting to question how much they were just desperate for a story....you would think ESPN would have picked up on this by now?

[Shank]

It may just be speculation on KTAR's part. Was it in a newscast or just talk in an afternoon show?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

newscast, they said the news would be official in a few hours which is starting to sound sketch.

[Shank]

Well, you're still in good shape. Just keep this thread handy for when it actually does happen.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Well, you're still in good shape. Just keep this thread handy for when it actually does happen.

Yeah I know it's just annoying how newscasters have to act all big and talk about all their "inside sources" rather than just wait to report something when they know for a fact it's true.

[Indazone]

Who is going to be the new head coach? Kerr?

My smart money would be Kerr and then offseason they make a play for Jeff Van Gunday or Tom Thibodeau.

Damn! They are going to be good again.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

They reported Gentry will take over as interim coach, at least the players respect him.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Yeah and to add to the doubt Kerr was just on TNT. I highly doubt he has time for that if this is tru. FUCK, all this hype for nothing.

[sananspursfan21]

that's pretty cool and all.... if you're a suns fan. why are the spurs fans rejoicing? i like porter, he used to be a spur, but yah, he's not cut out for a coaching job yet, he has good basketball iq, but when your team had d'antoni and flourished in his system, really, what do you expect to happen. terry porter came into the wrong situation. if he came to the thunder or wizards or somewhere terrible right now, he might not have done too bad. but then again, who am i to talk about coaches...

[Indazone]

A great coach has studied the systems of all the other coaches. They live breathe and have an innate feel for the game. They know the right adjustments to make and when to call their timeouts and make their rotations. Not everyone can do this or has studied the game in this detail. It's a career.

[sananspursfan21]

and why are spurs fans enjoying the moment? as soon as he leaves, someone who might be good will come in his place and start winning. the suns are very motivated and sick of losing to the spurs in the playoffs, they might face them and beat them, solely on motivation, because they certainly don't have a better team. i don't know, just something to think about

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I usually believe in where there's smoke there's fire, but the Phoenix media loves to fabricate things based off completely nothing.

When they've had more talent than the Spurs, they've found a way to lose. Now that they have less talent, finding a way to lose shouldn't be very hard. Regardless of who's coach, I pray to god they don't play the Spurs in the playoffs.

[Indazone]

With the right coach and the pieces that the Suns have, they could be very dangerous.

[Obstructed_View]

Is that a Star Trek character?

She's that hot Klingon chick that Worf tapped.

[dbreiden83080]

:lol

Well that didn't take long

Steve Kerr should just go ahead and fire himself..

agree but someone pleaaaaseeee tell me this rumor is true

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lol

I don't understand what Kerr has done wrong....all he's done was be in the unfortunate position of a GM who's working for an owner who involves himself in personnel decision making (when he shouldn't) and is more concerned with shaving payroll.

[lurker]

Did Kerr say anything interesting on the TNT pre-game show? I only caught the very end.

[kcplayboi_26]

i think its sarver myself and i think some people realize it, hes a cheap ass owner, that doesnt want to spend money. couldve got a better coach but was more expensive for him. porter tried his best but i dont think the players really respected him that much. I think its hard to respect your coach when hes out partying with you......as i seen him in the club with shaq(his wife)grant hill(tamia his wife) barbosa, amare. The club(Jackrabbits in Scottsdale)

[Rogue]

carlisle is to be the next?

[sook]

carlisle is to be the next?

isn't carlisle doing well? He is a great coach...

I think Michael curry will get the boot next, he is actually worse than porter

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

isn't carlisle doing well? He is a great coach...

I think Michael curry will get the boot next, he is actually worse than porter

Del Negro is worse than either one.

[sook]

Del Negro is worse than either one.

yea, what is it with all these wierd coach hirings?

Del Negro? Porter? Curry?

I was saying to myself before the season started...

[layupdrill]

Phoenix is in shambles.

[ElNono]

Avery Johnson turn?

[lurker]

Porter is Avery minus the annoying voice.

[iggypop123]

that owner must have deep pockets to fire him in his first year... why couldnt he pay for players instead of a fired coach?

[Stump]

Wow, took long enough.

[hater]

Knowing Kerr he will probably try to bring in Isaiah Thomas

[FreeMason]

Mission Accomplished Kerr.

It is now time to pack your bags and move on to phase 2. L.A.

[DPG21920]

has this been announced yet?

[ducks]

if suns are rebulinding why fire porter?

[DPG21920]

if suns are rebulinding why fire porter?

Because they can't fire you.

[ducks]

if they paid me to coach they could
suns would not have traded diaw they would have traded amare instead

[ducks]

if not then they can fire me with pay

[pauls931]

Guess I'll wait for the final word, it would be nice to see whoever is responsible for personel/draft picks go. Seems to be a tossup between Kerr and Savar (sp).

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

That would be Sarver. I'm fairly confident he had something to do with Lopez being picked because he knows Lopez's goofiness and character would be more marketable.

[m33p0]

no official announcement yet?

yea thats lame, i hate rumors

[Lp26]

I think Michael curry will get the boot next, he is actually worse than porter

Please God. If Porter goes, and Curry doesn't, i'll have question Joe's sanity more than i already do.

[endrity]

Well this still seems like just a rumor to me. I haven't seen anythign official yet. If suns are cutting costs since the team is going nowhere it makes no sense to fire the coach anyway.
