Naji Marshall has over 30 points now, LOL. That tells you something about how depleted Dallas is.

Gillespie AND Jones?

Why?
I guess we're just tossing out any sense of reason when it comes to lineups... At this point he's TRYING to get fired before the end of the season.
If we have to pay him anyway, don’t fire him, just send him home. Of course we’ll give other teams permission to talk to him, but why not keep him under contract in case we have use for him in the future? How would that harm either party?
You do remember the definition of insanity, right? I don’t know what happened to Bud but I’m beyond disappointed with what he’s said and done this year. I was super hopeful that a hometown guy would be the one to right this ship but am befuddled by what’s transpired during games this season.

It seems like when we try to address our problems by firing the coach, the next coach usually makes things even worse. Why are we always in such a hurry to get to the next worse coach?

Can't keep the wrong guy just because the last guy you hired was the wrong guy and needed to be fired. You gotta get the right person for the job. Yea the roster needs work but Bud ain't it.

It feels like every guy is the wrong guy. I’m just not excited to get to the next Hunter/Watson/Triano/Kokoskov/Vogel/Bud.

Definition of insanity, right? We’ve tried a new coach eight times in twelve years, and it doesn’t have a track record of helping.

Would it have been better if we just stuck with Watson for the last decade?

Wild to compare Bud to Watson. Watson was one of the worst coaches the NBA has ever seen. Bud has a history of success.

Regardless of what they do about the coach, IMO the Suns have to break up this team. They haven't played for 3 coaches in a row - they aren't going to play for a fourth. There's a level of belief or confidence in the organization that just can't be there when you have been getting away with playing lazy.
