It's actually not that dumb. Or even dumb at all. If we lose big, it will force changes to happen quicker and make us better in the long run.
It's obvious we can't win a championship with this current team. If you agree with that and agree that we need change, you should in fact be pulling for the Knicks.
I actually agree with this as much as it goes against my grain to want the Suns to lose, but I think it will help in the long run.
This same scenario is all over the NYJets message boards which I am a part of since I've been a Jet fan for almost 40 years. A team with such promise and talent goes 8-3 and then tanks the last 5 games of the season and misses the playoffs. The posters are now saying that it actually may have been a blessing in disguise because that forced the owner to fire the coach and his staff and will force changes to be made to the team which many of the fans believe will help the team be more cohesive and actually may have a solid chance at winning a title. They already hired a new coach (Rex Ryan) which many believe will bring the fire and passion back to the team and real leadership that it has been lacking. The jury is still out on him, but I don't think it could be any worse than what they had these past few years. I know Porter is in his first year, but I just don't see the leadership in him nor do I see the players respecting him or buying into his system or really "Kerr's" system at all.
The Jets are alot like the Suns....alot of talent, but they seemed to play with no heart and looked like crap on the field in a lot of games that they should have won. Alot of fans blamed the coach (Mangini) and his staff, some blamed individual players for caring more about their 'own' stats and touches than the collective team and then there were some who blamed a combination of both. Just seems like the same thing here.
It may be the best thing for this team to have their asses handed to them again and because it would be coming from the Knicks and DA, it would sting even more and maybe force some badly needed changes.
