Assuming they WERE all in on him. How many games not completely similar to this, but even if we just lose them half as bad, would it take to fire him?

I mean it couldn't take THAT many could it?

This is easily the most ill prepared I think I have ever see a team in any professional sport ever.

5 games like this and Sarver will fire him, he might be more patient than he was but not one is going to sit there and watch this

Could have adjusted when down by 10 and changed tactics... could have done the same when down 20... but to not do anything but keep the same plan which was broken and figured out by the other team... its ridiculous



A 50 point loss is coaching? Come on.....



As mentioned... when the team is down 10, 20 etc. And the COACH doesnt change tactics, the players lose trust and just go with the motion or start playing improv...

The Blazers is not 50+ point better talent wise.... and Watson has been horrific every game he's coached even the ones he won so...

Didn't we start like 0-11 or 0-13 one year and Ainge was coach and got fired? And then we made the playoffs or something? Something close to that happened but I might be wrong on record and coach.

Bad thing is it's kind of too late to hire a really good candidate unless you want to pluck an older guy like Karl or something, but they'd probably want no part of this....well, maybe if they want to coach. We'd probably have to just go with an assistant.

Obviously its early, this time last year Alonzo was projected late lotto and I was singing his praises as the guy to run our show.

Porter?

I'd take a washed up coach who at least HAD a heyday

Worst loss in suns history. It might be the copious amount of alcohol in me but I'm laughing right now.

Largest opening game loss in NBA history.

The great Mike James couldn't save us.
