The subject sums it up. Every 2 hours 3 new posts are made: one about how Porter should be fired, one about how Kerr should be canned and one about Amare being traded.
I'm kinda sick of the Suns situation but what cheers me up is seeing 2 topics within 6 hours, one called Porter needs to be fired and one called Porter's Fault etc. Not only that but each topic has like 10 essays to read.
[sarcasm]From now on, we could just communicate through topic creation. Nobody needs to peruse through any threads, just give your latest thoughts on who's to blame in the subject line.[/sarcasm]
IBTL. You can lock the thread or suspend me, I am fully willing to turn myself in. Call me a martyr. Just thought I would share my amusement and put a smile on everyone's furious face.

uhh, what? I only see like 2 or three topics total...
Oh and making a completely new topic about how there is too many topics doesn't seem like a logical choice, IMO its just adding to the problem which i'm still not clear on what your talking about. I see seperate posts for each, and only 1 of them...

Just a little grin on the inside? No? Its okay, I've heard crickets chirping before on stage and I will hear them again. Maybe it wasn't a joke as much as an example of true things said in jest. If it counts for anything, your threads are among what has become the few that I read, very insightful and un-rant-ful (wait I just realized that makes me a hypocrite for starting a rant thread. Shoot me now)

Fine, everyone else 1 point, myself 0. I guess my point is everyone needs to lighten up! I've seen so many people post about how they are not fans anmore, maybe thats more what I was referring to.
Just don't flame me, I'm innocent, I'm the peacemaker!!!
I'm sick of how when the Suns are doing bad everyone here lashes out at posters, even first time posters. This has become one of the coldest forums on RealGM. Boy I miss when I joined and everything was lighthearted and people actually gave constructive criticism . waaahhh

boo hoo. Come on people we could be a lot worse off.

^^^That's right.............we could be the Clippers.

Never fear
miklo, I understood where you were coming from and it brought a smile to my early morning at work. I actually usually don't bother even reading threads that have anything regarding firing Porter, trade Amare or Kerr sucks as it always seems to be the same regurgitated jargen, but for some reason I did open this one.
Maybe work is slow?

Maybe we have the Dukie wavelength?

I got nothin'.

Since this is the most recent Fire Porter thread that hasn't been locked, I figured I'd bump it.
Can anyone figure out a reason why Reggie Theus keeps calling the Suns front office? And no, I'm NOT saying that Porter is Fired and Theus is in...I'm just thinking it may tell us something for the future possibly.

So Theus might be an assistant coach for the Suns?

Eh fire Porter and Bill Cartwright before the All Star Break. Hire Iavaroni and maybe Theus, promote Gentry to head coach (with a firm grasp on the team). Run a mini camp over all star break (more just to bring back more of SSOL) without killing their legs. Take it from there. Groom Thunder Dan to be head coach in a few years.
Thoughts?

And here's a quote from Gentry, explaining SSOL, and shows us what we are missing on offense now:
“People think he just rolls out a ball and tells the guys to shoot it till they’re tired,” says Alvin Gentry, a Suns assistant and a former head coach himself. “The whole idea of spacing, moving the big man out and keeping the middle open for drivers, the drags and drops” - a series of on-the-fly screens meant to create easy shots -

aaand still, i am for firing porter. suns need another playing style. trading amare is just crazy talk and well, okay kerr hasn't made that good moves. not really bad ones, not really good ones.
i mean come on, if porter would - please, please, pretty please - use the players better.. look at diaw rockin at charlotte...he putts much better numbers up. he has to release the beast in amare.. shaq must be his sidekick not otherwise.
ah, damn it, i love this team!
