If you cant command then u must learn to follow, but what if u aint winning when u listen, then what????????

From Shaq's twitter....wtf does that mean? Is this some subtle hint that he doesn't like Porter's system? Or is it that he doesn't like the ball not going through him?

How can he not like Porter's system when he's getting so many touches?

Perhaps this means he's losing faith in Porter?

If that's the case, it's yet another player who is unhappy with Porter in addition to Dragic, Amare, Bell, and Nash.

Porter is losing this team.

His head-coaching experience (a key factor in hiring him according to Kerr) has been completely worthless.

I think it's safe to say the Suns should have hired someone else. ANYBODY would be better than Porter.

Did you watch the game tonight? Shaq wasn't getting any touches. He only took 6 shots compared to Amare's 21.

It sounds to me like they told Shaq to change how the way plays and he had his least effective game of the season because of it. Now he's saying the coach told him to do something and as a result they were blown out, but what could he do about it? He's supposed to follow and not lead.

So yeah, no one has faith in Porter anymore.

Shaq NEVER plays well against Dampier. Dampier shut him down in the 2006 NBA Finals.

Who's ready for a rebuilding of the team?!?!? Kerr is not going to get rid of Porter so it looks like we will see the last of dragic, amare, bell, and nash....just for ha ha's who would you replace each player with?

I think Porter is losing faith in himself. I see his body language and it scares me to see him so puzzled. I mean just about every player has voiced their opinion about not liking Porter's system. this is unheard of.
