76ers @ Suns 12-26-15

Jeffs lack of a post game interview so far a tell-tale sign?

I was changing rooms and wondered if Hornacek appeared in the post game interview. It says a lot if Hornacek did not attend the press conference.

 

[BillsCarnage]

After all the signings and deals, etc., it seems like if Bled goes down, we should have some one who can step in and stop the bleeding, especially with Knight's versatility. But I guess not.

I thought they were already tanking, no?

 

[Mainstreet]

Thibs is about the only big money coach I'd go after.

I'm game but Thibs may be under contract.

 

[Evil Ash]

Saver has no stones. Id be fuming if this were my team.

He is. Supposedly he has given everyone on the team an ultimatum - playoff or bust. Its been to our detriment as our best players are probably our young ones but they are way too inconsistent

 

[FArting]

Why didn't we start Chandler?

Time to fire Jeff.

 

[Evil Ash]

He is but that doesn't stop us from going after him. I doubt he wants to stay out of coaching for too long

Unfortunately he showed up. Hoping change will come will probably be futile.

We should fire Jeff but Len starting over Chandler is the least of our issues. In fact I prefer getting our young guys as many minutes as possible at this point

 

[Mainstreet]

Hopefully some good news.

Jeff Hornacek said the team doctor did not believe Eric Bledsoe suffered anything like a torn ACL.

That 100th win may be a long time coming.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

That 100th win may be a long time coming.

This game was the best chance of winning another game this year. Possibly next too.

Hopefully some good news.

Yay for Eric... Now, let's lose every game from hear on out and do all we can to lock up the #1 draft position!

This would be very unlikely even if the Suns continued to lose.

Do you know the Suns have never had the first pick in the draft?

Where did you read this? and when?

Some more news about Bledsoe:

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 13m13 minutes ago

Eric Bledsoe's knee injury was non-contact. He did not tear his ACL. A MRI will assess any possible meniscus injury.

I believe this involves his left knee not the right knee where he had surgery previously.

 

[Evil Ash]

Where did you read this? and when?

From Gambo on more than one occasion (he's really good friends with Sarver)

I honestly dont know if just firing Hornacek is gonna do it. McD has not done a good job putting a winning team together. I really dont see how you can argue with that. But even going over him, Sarver is still there. I still put a lot of our current situation on Babby being absolutely terrible. Not that he is the reason this team is losing, but he is the reason this team exists at all. If we hadn't wasted fruitless years with him at the helm we might be in a much different place and again, that goes back to the top.

We need to cure the cancer, not treat the symptoms.

Maybe JC will be so incredibly disgusted by what he saw tonight and what his love child has become, and he will get some investors together and buy them back from the Banker.

I know that's not happening but I can dream.

McD never wanted to win right away. The Suns were going to tank and rebuild thru the draft but 7 different guys had career years and won 48 games. At that point Sarver was all in. McD has made mistakes but his biggest was not staying true to the plan.

I actually read somewhere that JC was trying to do just that, prior to taking the Philadelphia gig.

Yep, that was pretty much it. Not to be a broken record, but the overachievement of that 48-win team was terrible luck for the franchise. There wasn't enough basketball wisdom in the front office to recognize it for the fool's gold that it was.

Totally agree.

 

[sunsfan88]

This is the best thing that could happen. McD can finally convince Sarver it's bad enough to blow it all up.

Can he convince Sarver to actually sell the team too? If so then McD deserves his own shrine in Phoenix.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Just like the Cardinals are not your father's. These are not your fathers Suns.

yup... 48 pyrrhic victories.

 

[Cheesebeef]

holy cow... they lost... TO THE SIXERS... AT HOME?!!?!

Everyone involved in this team is an absolute disaster.
