TJ played good D on Griffin. Sucks the NBA works this way sometimes.

It sucks because to me Watson seems like a really genuine, very nice guy. Apparently not a good coach tho. lol :( I still like him, but I can see what you guys are saying and that it might be more productive (damage control) to fire him sooner than later.

I do like his Everybody Love Everybody approach to the game tho. #JackieMoon

I like the Jackie Moon comparison for him. I think he'd make a good Assistant Coach or maybe even a GM since players like him but he just doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach. Maybe if he were handed a team that was a playoff contender already but even that is questionable considering his lack of any sort of system on the court.

Jackson is playing well but he still doesn't have a rebound.

2 1/2 games... 2 rebounds. It doesn't seem possible.

Even by accident he should have more rebounds.

Bledsoe needs to learn he doesn't always have to take the shot.

Bledsoe looks like he just doesn't belong.

It's looking like Chriss and Bender are still the same players as last year but Bender looks much better on defense still no offense from either.

I don't know. Either is more qualified than Watson and could serve as an interim head coach.

I like Corbin because he coached under Sloan.
Did you not see the results of Corbin coaching the Jazz? It was not good.

Only talking about an interim head coach... nothing more.

Thinking about it I don't want to turn it into a Majerle situation as Corbin was a former Suns player.

I’m conflicted, Bledsoe makes me sick and I want him gone.... but Bledsoe has turned into knight from last year and is helping us tank, so do we trade him or not?

Why are they so much worse than last year?

Same cast of clowns?

I couldn't stand to watch Knight. Trade Bledsoe while he still has value.

This may be the worst Suns team ever and in a close contest for the worst Arizona Team EVER with the 2003 Cardinals.

I feel as if this is just going to ruin guys like Booker, Jackson, Bender, Chriss, etc.

And I can see Booker bolting and being a key piece on a winner. As much as he says he "loves" Phoenix.

Gotta try and get something while you can. Even in a case of addition by subtraction if he left, they're still gonna be super bad.

A THIRD straight alley-oop?!

My lord... if I'm Sarver I literally walk down to the bench and fire Watson on the spot and replace him with his big foam finger. I literally don't think it couldn be any worse than Watson.

Exactly. The Suns are going to be bad this season no matter what.

It's sort of like being lost. At least you want to be headed in the right direction.

I wonder if Bledsoe has made a trade request or if he's been told the team is looking to trade him because he's just phoning it in at this point. Not having Ulis hurts with Bledsoe playing so bad. At least Mike James plays like he wants to be here. I think Chandler is also playing with little to no effort, just collecting paychecks at this point. If that's the leadership these "veterans" provide then they need to be sent packing. Watson needs to be firm and send a message by benching players who aren't giving full effort on both sides of the ball, regardless of their contract, history, etc.
