McD needs to force Hornacek to scrap small ball... This team isnt built for it.... Small ball requires flexible players who can fascilitate and out hustle bigger teams...

I'm not gonna lie, I am truly worried that we could lose to the 76'ers on Saturday. I am worried that we are that bad. I don't want to believe it, but it could be true.

Well that would only be karmic justice. All these seasons of us genuinely trying to get better have gone in vain. Its time for the lottery gods to finally grant us a favor for at least trying. The Sixers have been gaming the system for far too long and they haven't even received a #1 pick to show for it. This will be a litmus test to asses whether we can land a Top 3 pick

You guys are honestly stupid for thinking Hornacek will get fired.

This is the most inept franchise in maybe all of sports right now. The 76ers have better direction than the Suns right now. The Cleveland Browns would wipe the floor against us.

We have players throwing towels at the freaking coach.

If any of you want to see anything change, don't ask for Hornacek to get fired, ask for the biggest and moronic idiot in sports aka Robert Sarver to sell the team.

Well I definitely don't disagree with that. If we can lead some kind of overwhelming response pressuring Sarver to sell the team I am all for it.

He traded the Iggy or Deng pick, refused to extend Joe Johnson for 6 yrs, 50 because he had signed Q, then lost JJ, traded Q for KT but this put them over the cap so they trade KT, Ibaka and another pick for cap space, sold picks like Rondo for some cash in his pocket, got rid of D'Antoni for Porter, traded Marion for Shaq, then again had to dump Shaq for cap space, got rid of Amare for Hedo, Childress and Warrick, and then let Kerr go. And then we've seen what has happened since then. He is way too shortsighted to own an NBA team.

Though I do think that his short sightedness and lack of patience will lead to him firing Hornacek because of that ineptness.

I don't understand how we were a good rebounding team when the season started and now this. This offense is so rough to watch at times when they can't make a basket for half a quarter at a time. I don't really know what we should do.

Suns are tied with Minnesota for the 6th worst record in the league. With the negative momentum we have developed over the last several games I can see us being one of the worst 2-4 teams in the the league by end of year.

If Sarver sells the team you might wind up with someone like Ranadive. Be careful what you wish for.

What are you talking about? Kings currently have a better record then we do and are not that far off from the 8th seed. Come on.

I completely agree. We started the season so strong, and now this?!?! What's has changed to cause this collapse?

The only thing I can think of is that other teams adjusted to the Suns style of play, wand we could not adjust to counter them.

Well maybe it is all for the best and we end up winning the lottery. Funny tweet I saw....favorited by Minnesota fans (I'm guessing)

You think he's a good owner? The guy who wanted his team to legitimately play 4 on 5 on defense and cherry pick? If so, I can't have a conversation with you.

Again. Better record. Can possibly make the play-offs. Comparing Sarver to Ranadive would be like comparing getting stabbed in one eye versus both. Besides Ranadive has a decent looking daughter :lol:

Ranadive finally realized that he is clueless about running a team so now he sticks to Bollywood promotions and showcasing his babe daughter who is still a Dubs fan. Vlade Divac is in charge of all BBall and Franchise operations. Still better than a meddling Sarver. Worst combination of incompetence and inopportune frugality. Whenever he breaks the bank/ exceeds the luxury tax he will overpay some scrub or washed up vet
