Bulls @ Suns 1/31

[Mainstreet]

It's about all about the Suns FO and those fans who wanted to see what great basketball the Suns would play without DA.

Well, for those who wanted it, enjoy.

BS. Its about those fans wanting to watch smart defensive basketball with smart defensive players ,and DA and his offensive minded cronies brought neither of those things....and neither does Porter....or Kerr for that matter.

 

[AceP]

It looks like Amare, and maybe Nash, are playing to get Shaq traded ...

 

[Andrew]

Well, if you want to look at the silver lining...they beat themselves, the bulls really didn't do anything special that if the Suns played up to their ability could have easily won...

 

[mojorizen7]

Nash has to go.
I could care less about Amare,but i wouldn't pay him max $$$ to be what he is.

 

[greensborohill]

Will take Amare & Nash for Howard, Stack, Kidd, & Bass

Now why would the Suns do that when you are willing to trade 4 for 2? That just means those 4 guys suck compared to our 2.

And Bass? Throw in a 1st round pick ,Avery Johnson's cellphone # and where do i sign?

So enjoy DA's replacement. I don't know how you could have expected Kerr to replace DA with a better coach.

By doing some research...which he clearly didn't.

 

[Andrew]

No overly qualified coach seemed available....I wanted like Doug Collins or Paul Silas, but Porter has little less than half a season to make this team better, can he do it remains to be seen...but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Andrew]

I never thought we would lose with our 6th man going for 32

A good GM does not fire a highly successful coach without some idea of a suitable replacement.

Kerr just ad libbed while serving the fans kool-aid.

 

[Mirth]

Too much standing around by lots of the starters...

Not sure if you guys saw it early in the 2nd qtr. (I think) but Nash got screened and no one helped. He looked at Porter and raised his hands as if to say "wtf"?
So is asking for help, pointing out his teammates or helping Porter?

We deserved this loss as we have many others. We are not playing in-sync at all. This team needs an identity NOW. Changes need to be made....I am sick...

 

[AceP]

After watching Amare's effort and Nash's taking care of the ball for so many games, I wouldn't blame the coach too much.

But I can't help to think, if we could have got Larry Brown here... Amare might got booted first, the Nash following. LOL

At the monent, friends, get the picture clear. The worse we play now, the more likely Shaq will be traded. Not Nash or Amare.

 

[Mainstreet]

Trying to get away from the negative, Hill and LB really played their hearts out tonight.

 

[Andrew]

Shaq IS NOT going to be traded

He may be, especially if you can be added as filler.

Sorry, just kidding. I couldn't help myself.

This debate will ALWAYS end in a disagreement over system & philosophy so its pointless to discuss really.
Is Doc Rivers a more highly successful coach than DA?
Yes.
Is he a better coach than DA?
Debatable. It depends upon too many variables that factor in things like talent,injuries,luck, and yes...philosophy.

 

[AceP]

Shaq IS NOT going to be traded

You don't get it,it is the best for this team to trade Shaq before his value diminished. If we r not contending at all, what's the point to keep paying a 36 years old man 20M. Rebuild for the future.

It is even regardless if we keep Amare or Nash. Shaq doesn't help this team after next year.

I think we could come to an agreement (at least a peace about the matter) if you would acknowledge that DA should have never been pushed out by Kerr without a suitable Head Coach to replace him.

Kerr just completed only half the transaction when replacing DA. Thus I cannot understand under these circumstances why pushing DA out was a good thing. The baton had to be transferred for it to work... to another successful coach.

LOL... man crush.
I admire your devotion and I love the guy as a player, but we should blow this team up now and rebuild. If I could get fair value now before he is hurt or worse, I would do it now.

Agree. I also think Kerr felt that having DA's high IQ, highly offensive talented players would carry over into a group of guys that could learn how to think 'defend' at all costs 1st, and do my thing & score 2nd.......
Ooops.

Let's try not to forget our new harmony.
