:bang: The team is playing badly, we need a real coach, that know what doing.

We can trade also Stoudemire.

We need a good defense and a good PTS.​

I am a European fan, very sad with actual season.
I usually see the games at dawn (1-6 am), this being a disappointment.​

Phil Jackson couldn't coach this bunch. They are not a good defensive team and to many players on this team think they are better then they are. No coaching change is going to help this team. They need an overhall to this roster.

I'm not sure Tarzan_SLB is off base. It seems right on target.

Frankly, I'm more in favor of getting another coach than of blowing up the team - after we get a new coach then blow it up! I don't want Porter to be one of the people making decisions about personnel - I don't know that he's bad as that aspect of the game but he'd be getting players for his system, so even if he's not too bad we wouldn't be heading the right direction.

I have to admit I thought he was a pretty good hire - I liked him as a player and he did fairly well with the Bucks - as seen from a distance. The man is very weak on the X's and O's and he didn't bring a side kick who could cover that for him. The team is not jelling under his 'leadership' - this road trip was my last hope but they're losing ground, not gaining. Substitution patterns aren't awful but that's one of the few places he's passable - he's getting consistently outcoached at key junctures of the games.

Porter needs to go he seems clueless half the time on what to do and when, what the hell kind of interview process does Kerr do? "You like the Suns Terry" Kerr said, "Umm Yeah" Porter, "Your hired!" Kerr, "Umm ok" Porter.

Supposedly he was really impressive on his interview. I guess they had him break out paper & pen and draw up an in-bounds play right on the spot. I guess any coach could do that though. I actually think his plays out of time outs and at the end of games have been really solid. I don't know, i don't think he's that bad of a coach. I just don't think the players are buying into it and that's the issue.

His rotations SUCK, he doesn't use players properly, bad grouping of players, many times doesn't seem to know when to call TO, waits to long to make changes, doesn't imo draw up great inbounds plays one occasionally is not enough, players don't seem to be buying into whatever he is selling, just a few things off the top of my head he seems lost and not a good coach at all imo. Just doesn't seem to have IT whatever that is don't think the players think so either.
