Well done lad, well done.

Getting rid of anyone for financial reasons, to me, is a bad idea. And yes, it’s beginning to look more and more like Porter is mostly to blame. We need someone to come in and make damn sure the Suns aren’t bi-polar anymore, though who or when I wouldn’t have a clue. To me it’s the coaches fault when we play great one night then bomb the next. It’s the coaches main job to keep the players focused and execute what they practice. Porter obviously can’t do this, seeing how poorly the Suns play every other night. Talent is there, motivation is not.

Do you think he’ll have any chance to do what he’s been asked to do now, since he hasn’t done what he was asked to do at the beginning of the year? If not, why not just fire him now?

If Amare is moved without equal or slightly less than equal value in return, then I’m gonna puke and possibly riot.

On Porter. Goodbye sir. I’d like to say it’s been fun, but it wasn’t.

I know this sounds completely ludicrous, but Shaq, Nash, and Amare could be another “big 3”(with less defense). Of course, chocolate could be vanilla if it were a different color and taste as well.

we should hire Mike Shanahan.

In all seriousness, it’s time to stop speculating and start seeing. Kerr, I wanna see some action. If we’re gonna fire Porter, please do so tomorrow. And replace with something respectable. And if we’re gonna dump salary, please be someone other than Amare, unless you can somehow get Beasley/Marion in return.

he sounded like he was too much of a control freak in Dallas. From what I heard, Dallas’s vets got sick of it pretty quick too. I can’t imagine it would be any different in Phoenix.

Like A Popovich. Someone with wicked smarts.

and put it in porter’s head.

I meant to say, steal Popovich’s brain and put it in Porter’s head.

Reports include Barnes and Shaq ignoring him on the bench and demanding to be put back in the game or refusing to be taken out.

1. So, Bell and/or Diaw were moved because Porter couldn’t handle them?
2. Would you tell Shaq to sit down?
3. Does that explain why Porter isn’t sticking to the same Shaq-rotation that D’Antoni so briliantly implemented (i.e., 5 or 6 minutes then getting him back into the game when Nash rests)?
4. Who the hell does Barnes think he is? Shaq?
5. Can you blame them? C’mon, Hack-A-Bowen?
6. Was Amare saying that the captains need to stand up to Porter?
7. Was Amare saying that the captains need to make the players respect Porter?
8. Was Amare saying that the vets (Shaq) were setting a bad example?

Here’ s the answer to all your questions: don’t try to figure it out because your head will probably explode if you think about it too much. I was in denial about 7SOL being a thing of the past. Now I just drink a few beers and search for a silver lining. Let me know if you find one though, because I’m running out of beer.

This is what Porter said after the game: "Back-to-backs are tough, especially against a team that has a lot of athletic energy and likes to run," And did you also know: water is wet, and heat is hot?

I’m going to go back to DreamShaking now, where our closest sources are our drunken buddies that will shout offhand, “Trade T-Mac!” whenever he misses a shot.

from the outside this is quite a commical situation the Suns find themsleves in.
 As a Suns fan from the “Hawk” and the Van Arsdales, this situation blows.
 Kerr really has dug a hole with the hiring of Porter. Yes all other mistakes have been well documented, but we live in the now, and Porter is the now, and he is not capable of running this team.
 Fire Porter first, like um, yesterday, then go from there.

that they asked him to get better at. Maybe Kerr read my Post back in november. I’ve not been a Porter fan since day one.

“Didn’t I tell you guys this last week? Sheesh. No love.”

Is that why D’Antoni left in the first place? Maybe Kerr needs to just coach the team since he’s the one barking out all the orders."

“Anytime the coach and GM sit down for a few hours and then the GM sends the coach a long long document stating each and every thing he is doing wrong and what he needs to do to fix it…I’d say there is a chance for the coach to lose his job. I didn’t divulge a lot of the info I have on that subject for confidentiality sake. Maybe someday.”

A LONG LONG DOCUMENT? Wow, Kerr comes off like a douchebag…

Here is a tidbit:

Stoudemire was asked what Porter is telling the team regarding its recent skid. There was a long pause and a look around a locker room that never offers vocal support for Porter.

And another:

In assessing coach Terry Porter, Sarver said, “Terry came into a challenging job. Terry’s got room for improvement and could do a better job. He’s trying to do a better job. At the end of the day, he’s responsible for how we play, along with (General Manager) Steve Kerr and myself.”

You think Sarver’s going to fire himself? Or Kerr?

At the beginning of the season, when the Suns were supposed to be “experimenting” and “struggling” they were doing pretty well. Of course, Nash was playing a ton of minutes and the bench was thin. Now, the Suns are in a bad stretch and Nash is out with injuries (was he over-played?).

It was supposed to be a bumpy start, not a bumpy finish.
