WOJ BOMB

Ok, now the Bledsoe tweet makes more sense. It probably went Watson fired then Eric asks out.

Wow. Well, we all agreed it needed to happen. Better sooner than later. Now, the real question is have they learned their lesson? Are we going to invest in an experienced coach?

I hope you don't mind, da_suns_fan, but I edited your post to add the tweet.

I voted "Before the All-Star break." This is before the All-Star break, so I got it right.

Kudos to everyone who voted first 20 games.

I think we're all winners today.

Good. He needed to go. I don't remember a team coming in so ill prepared for a season.

Any word on the interim?

Saw on KTAR that Sarver was interviewed and said he was expecting a winning record this year which I found quite amusing.

You got most of your team on rookie deals.

No one will take that job mid-season. JVG said he'd never take a job until it was the off-season. I'd expect many former head coaches feel the same.

Watson gone has to mean Chandler is gone too, right?

[da_suns_fan]

I cant even tell you little this is going to affect things.

I switched cable packages to get Suns games and switched back after last night. I dont need to see another game.

The product is absolute shit. They wasted an entire off-season and all they have to show for it is another rookie.

Just awful.

[Superbone]

I wish Earl Watson all the best! Great guy but a lousy coach. I hope he lands on his feet in an assistant's role. If Sarver and McDonough had done their job's right, he may have been a great assistant here. All the players seem to love him.

Oh, who are they kidding. They're gonna drop the "interim" and make Triano the new coach.

[djy2j]

What a disaster. I'm glad he's gone but this should have been done in the off-season. This doesn't get better until they hire a real coach. Triano ain't it.

[Sunsfan4life]

Watson treated his players like his buddy. Ridiculous. I never figured out why a guy who had a 9-24 run as an interim got the full time job. Egregious. Also, he went to bat for a guy like Marquis chriss during draft night a few years ago, Marquis is like 10lbs out of shape and moping around. Motivational speeches and telling the team to "push the tempo" isn't going to solve problems. Again, the atmosphere he has created is terrible for a team that has young guys who a history of motivational or off the court problems. We need a hard nosed coach in here who will teach these guys there are consequences for their actions. Scott Skilles type almost...

How sad is it that we can predict this stuff in advance?
