And last night we got to see what it's like when Watson has his team concentrate on defense.

Haha, it looked like only a couple were trying at any particular possession.

Offensively, we were much improved. Defensively, not so much.

We play a few more bad teams in the next few weeks. I think those games will have a lot to do with his job status.

I should have made an option for within 5 games.

Someone posted the list of worst losses in Suns history, and I think Earl the Squirrel now has 3 of the 6 worst loses.

Is there another good assistant coach out there? Like Watson, Atkinson, Fizdale were?

That's the thing. Usually GMs don't get to pick 3 coaches in their tenure, at least not in a 5 year window.

Is that a mistake. Did you mean to put Watson with Atkinson and Fizdale?

I think both Atkinson and Fizdale paid their dues and are doing a good job. I would take either one of those guys before Watson.

However the great Ryan McDonough did not feel that it was necessary to interview anyone after the stellar job Watson the great did after he took over for Hornacek.

He is on track to set records of epic proportions as the coach with the worst record in NBA history. He could set a record that will never be beaten.

As I think Carey suggests, I would fire McDonough in the same press conference.

Bring back Griffin as Gm and hire Majerle as coach.

It could not be worse, could it.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Who was it who decided not to do any interviews for coaches when we hired Earl Watson? McDo or Saver? Or both together?

Team direction is on the GM, execution of said direction is on the coach. If you want to rebuild and have a team full of kids you can't expect to win, but of course you can demand the regular stuff (effort, focus, etc). If those things are not there, the coach is not doing his job. As a principle, I agree GMs don't last to hire three head coaches, but in this case I believe ours will.
