It's a down economy, people have to save up to go homeless.



That was based on the conversations Bob and Lance had last year at the All Star Game. Blanks was constantly pointing out the guys with talent.

I think you need to add a sarcasm smilie. ;)

So Blanks made Lindsey interim HC based in part based upon player interviews before the hire?

Did ask Blanks about Hunter being a mole and placed to take over. - No

Interesting was saying another West Coast team was looking to bring in Hunter for what sounds like an assistant coach.

So things changed after Lindsey interviewed with Orlando? A Western Conference team wanted to hire him?

With the largely satisfied season ticket holders out there, I don't know any more. :sarcasm:

Well, in a way, he might actually be right. I'm a happy Suns fan. That is, I'm pretty much always happy and I'm a Suns fan. :) See, I'm still smiling even though I plan on spending a couple of hours tonight watching the Suns play.

I was thinking maybe Lakers for assistant position? Who else had Coaching changes on the West?

1. If the season ticket holders are largely satisfied with the Suns, where is the crowd?

I think he must have been talking about the few season ticket holders they have left. He obviously wasn't talking about all the people how refuse to buy tickets for his horrible product.

Every assistant had a 25% to to become the Suns interim HC per Babby. This does not speak to a plan. Makes me wonder what happened so drastic with Gentry to make a change so fast.

IMO, the empty seats speaks to most Suns fans, even season ticket holders.

Blanks feels the Suns had enough talent to be in the playoff picture coming into the season. Really???

There was growing frustration among the troops per Blanks.

The Suns defense was an embarrassment. What was the job of Turner and Hunter?

I think early on and at the beginning yes they might be an 8th seed, but this thing has fallen hard. For me I am happy we are bad.

So you believed the Suns could make the playoffs? What happened to the Suns roster beyond the loss of Frye. Scola and Morris should have been enough at PF.

very disappointing

Yes I felt the team the put together would be better than 7 teams in the West. But this was also before Houston made their moves and the flop of Beasley. I was one that felt Beasley was going to turn it around, I was wrong on that as probably the front office was as well.


Heck I am sure the Lakers thought they would be a playoff team also.

Yeah, I was kind of in the same area. I thought we had a chance on making the playoffs and I expected Beasley to be decent if not good. A decent performance from Beasley and this roster is good enough to fight for a playoff spot. I read Pbit's constant bashing of Beasley and just never believed he could actually be as bad as that. I was wrong, he has been every bit as bad as Phrazbit stated. I'm still in favor of playing him heavy minutes so as to remove all possible doubt about the guy but I'm no longer hopeful he'll ever amount to anything.

Babby and Blanks feel 100% support from Sarver, per Babby.
