Notice Nash's name is not included nor Amare... the previous core of the Sun's team. What's the saying, you have to believe.
You put JC on this team and a PF who is better at rebounding and defense...I bet this team would be better.

Its quite simple, you just watch the number of defenders in the lane area and who their assignments are. Shaqs, hills, barnes men are camping out there, splapping at amare when he tries to dribble penetrate. And on defense, everyone is protecting shaq and amare from fouls, giving up even 15' jumpers and the shortest 3 pt shots from the baseline, its pathetic.. Porter has not been getting any spacing with his scheme/roster. ANd why would he if he dumps the ball down low so predictablyBah...people were complaining last year about Nash horrible passing at times. Your acting like this started this year. Look at the threads even pre Shaq. People were bitching about it last year.
It's just more exposed now because other people are turning the ball over as well. Mainly Amare and Barnes off the bench.

As stated before this team might have spacing issues but it's much more then that.
PS.. Nobody but nobody is being protected from fouls more then Nash and Amare. Even Shaq picks up fouls left and right because of Nash and Amare.
You're losing me SteelDog. Nash and Amare are just not buying the stuff Porter is selling, hence they are just going through the motions. Is it right, maybe not. But the players miss the old offense that made them good. This was the style they were meant to play. Again this team is tuning out Porter and his system.

6 f'ing TO's by Amare, and 12 points!? He's become Boris Diaw. If I was the coach I'd bench his sorry ass.
Because some of these issues Amare and Nash were having started last year under D'Antoni. It's not as simple as it being just Porter.

so in this stalinesque move we back a totally unknown coaching commodity, porter, and screw amare a perennial all star? If this didnt happen after getting rid of 2 rotation players to appease the coach, then I might agree. But everybody is a bum and porter is right is nonsense. Clearly the players have figured out that the suns coach doesnt know how to win with this roster(or them).
Why is Porter always the person to blame? He isn't out there playing and sucking, sure he unexperienced, but the players should always play to the best of their ability and some of them aren't.
Trading players isn't easy, and it is OBVIOUS Terry Porter has lost this team. You might not be able to see that on your horrible Chinese web feed of the game.
You don't just turn around and say, "Hey, I want to trade a guy making 20million bucks a year", and then the next day a good trade happens. Firing Porter is as much a financial decision as a personnel one.
Porter is only ONE of the problems, but he is one of the easiest to address.
You really need to learn a little bit about the league Andrew. Seriously. Trading players isn't easy, and it is OBVIOUS Terry Porter has lost this team. You might not be able to see that on your horrible Chinese web feed of the game.

Did I ever say trading players was easy? I simply stated that SOME of them aren't playing to the best of their ability, that is fact. The reason I said why is he always the first person to blame is valid. I never stated he wasn't a part of the problem. The bigger problem is on the play of the roster, not on Porter. When it comes down to it, I don't care who the hell is coaching you, if your guys don't play to the best of their ability, you are gonna suck.
Yeah, because that strategy has never been proven to facilitate positive results in the past.....Its quite simple, you just watch the number of defenders in the lane area and who their assignments are. Shaqs, hills, barnes men are camping out there, splapping at amare when he tries to dribble penetrate. And on defense, everyone is protecting shaq and amare from fouls, giving up even 15' jumpers and the shortest 3 pt shots from the baseline, its pathetic..
