Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired This semed inevitable. Not that it was his fault, but he was in a NO WIN situation.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Maybe they can take Marc Iavaroni... he was the understudy under D'antoni and could maybe revive their old play-style?
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired I would like to publicly take issue with a moderator placing "Rumour" before this thread title. You should at least use the american spelling.... Minstrel!
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Haha. Normally we like the be faceless and nameless. But Minstrel's penchant for wacky spelling gave him away this time! Ed O.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired I can't help my odd up-bringing causing me to be a hybrid speller and I can't help not caring enough today to consciously stick to one.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Unfortunately I'm now hearing that this may be a fabrication of the Phoenix media.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Kerr and Co. has fucked this franchise up. Trading for Shaq was dumb. Firing D'Antoni was really dumb. Bringing in Porter, I thought was dumb. But firing him before the season is over? Well, maybe that's the smartest thing Kerr and Co. has done, especially if they have Flip or someone else lined up. I just don't see Porter as HC material, but I could be wrong. At least not HC material on a team full of veterans like Phoenix.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Kerr's got no plan. Either that, or Sarver's calling the shots and Kerr is irrelevant. Whoever's in charge of Phoenix has got no plan.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired It's just an entire franchise that doesn't want to believe that their window closed. Dallas made the same mistake trading for Kidd instead of keeping a building block in Harris. Teams are lucky if they have more than a 3 year window for a championship. Phoenix had a great shot and if the ball bounces the right way and/or maybe someone eliminates the Spurs before the Suns have to face them, they're probably NBA champions.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Or more likely a fabrication from your friend. If it were a fabrication by the Phoenix media there would be a link, to said fabricated rumor.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired To be fair, he never fired D'Antoni. Dolan through unbelievable dough at him and he opted to go elsewhere.
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Haha... right. Kerr is going to be great because he played for Phil Jackson, Lute Olson, and Greg Popovich. Brilliant! Also, what's with the "and to truly get to know the pieces on this roster"? Does he think that Kerr has never watched a practice? Never seen his guys play? Has no idea what they're like on and off the court? No... they're just trading cards to Stevie Kerr!
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired I was just thinking of my favorite line from Apocalypse Now: "Hey soldier, do you know who is in command here?" "Ain't you?"
Re: Rumour: Terry Porter fired Man, is there a franchise that has blown more opportunities in the past few years? These guys are the anti-Blazers.
