This should not happen in a blowout.
Or in a blowout at the start of a 6-game road trip.
Or in a blowout at the start of a 6-game road trip in the midst of 15 games in 25 days.
Porter does not know how to managed or coach anyone.
First off Shaq should have not skipped the Nuggets game. 2, should not let his key players play more minutes then they should have on a game that 1, was loss from quarter 1 and 2 a game that was a blowout.
Knowing when to call it a day is a good thing afterall, eh?
lol porter porter porter
I think some players are dogging on him. I think his job is really in jeopardy...
That might be true. Amare looks like sometimes.
Amare most definitely. I'm also not sure Nash is buying what Porter is selling. Not to mention that guys like JRich and Barnes come from a Nellie run and gun background, completely opposite to what Porter preaches. Sarver doesn't really strike me as a very patient man, and this product right now can't be selling as well as D'Antoni's...
porter's acting as a coach is just like a man's taking a job, neither works.
the man who pretends to be a is gonna be charged with no only selling sex but business cheating, porter will not recieve any bill from the court but the dirty words from the fans are inevitable for him.
I heard being a man works just fine in prison.
Fired, fired, fired, fired...
WGAF about their minutes if they go down by 30 in the first half. I'd make their dumb asses play the entire second half. I'd rather they be angry and humiliated than rested.
Too much change. The suns were not that far from being a contender with Dantoni, just a few defensive plays (i know easier said than done) and they'd be there. Kerr is reconstructing the entire team into a mediocre .500 1st round and exit team (last year was flukish, suns/spurs in the 1st round?). Not sure how he's doing that with such good parts. I'm starting to lean towards him and porter at this point. I'm also get the feeling players are dogging, especially amare who maybe tasted too much success early in his career.
One of Suns' problem is that Kerr 2008 draft choices have been a disaster.
He drafted Lopez with the 15th pick. A lot of bigs just drafted after (Speights, Hickson, McGee..) looks significantly better than him.
Suns have invested a lot in Dragic (2 second round pick +cash given to Spurs and a big contract) without result. Maybe Dragic will be a good PG in the future but Kerr hopped that he would help the team as soon as his rookie year.
As a result, Suns lack of depth and overplay some of their old players. It could hurt them again come playoff time.
I also agree the draft picks have been dissapointing. Both looked promising early on but lopez is looking horrendous, I think the potential is there, just no discipline.
Dragic also has potential, but I think everyone expected him to immediately be Steve Nash Jr. which isn't going to be the case for some time. Nash wasn't good until 4 or 5 years into his career.
The mistakes the made was drafting project picks rather picks that can contribute immediately to complement a veteran team.
I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad they let D'antoni go so they brought in Porter to improve defense (22nd best defensive rating in basketball worse than any D'antoni team), instill accountability (turnover machine), and develop the bench (the starters are averaging 34 minutes a game).
(Xylus your thread names are always hilarious)
You obviously don't remember that Lopez was the most "NBA ready" big man available at #15, Steve Kerr said so......
The Suns are an afterthought this season with Porter. I would only start to worry if they fired him and brought in either Tom Thibodeau or JVG. BTW JVG is rumored to be coveting that Sun's coaching job.
I didn't know that!!!
I though they only gave us the cash.
jrich needs to play more.
The trade was the 45th pick for the 48th pick + warriors 2009 second round pick (that will be quite good) + $500K.I didn't know that!!!
I though they only gave us the cash.
Suns drafted Dragic and Spurs drafted Hairston with the 48th pick.
Suns have given a quite big contract to Dragic ($5.5M guaranteed over 3 years) and also given $500K to TAU for the buyout.
All in all they have invested $6.5M and 2 second round picks on Dragic. That's a quite big investment.
I'd be a pig in if the Suns got a coach with a legit resume. JVG would be great to have. The only problem is I don't see how he and Amare could co-exist......no worries, trading Amare would solve that problem.
if JVG ever coaches the suns i would hope the rockets would have already won a championship, he is just too good. I wish he was back with the rockets now actually, the failures in Houston were not his fault, Yao getting injured season after season shouldn't be put on JVG

You don't reward playing time to guys who aren't going to play their asses off. You sit them on the bench and let the 2nd or 3rd string take over, because you know there are guys on the bench who are dying to get some run.
Also, you don't wear your guys out in a blowout if their upcoming schedule is and they're already tired. Unless you plan on losing games. Do you like losing games, OV?
