At the end of the day is like on another work...if you don't like your boss you are going to put the minimum effort (without risking your own position).
It is easy to fire one man than fire 15 men....and easier when his name is not Popovich.
I don't buy that at all. You are saying all 15 players will intentionally put up bad numbers for an entire year, damage their own career stats (and future contracts) because they hate Hornacek so bad? That is silly. They had a chance just last week to throw him under the bus when the FO was asking for player input into the teams problems and the players didn't do it. How come the players didn't dump on Hornacek when they had the chance?
No, what I wanted to say it's that is easier for McDonough or Sarver to fire Hornacek than the change of the complete roster (15 players).
I think that Hornacek is a favourite for some of our players like Booker, for example, because he is giving him a great opportunity to play, but the majority of the roster don't respect him or want him enough.
Sure it's easier, but the roster is the biggest problem, and injuries, malcontent players. You fire and bring in a new coach and that is all, we are stuck here for longer.
But I expect both Hornacek and McD to be gone in a matter of time.
