Good move but I'm not sure anything can turn the franchise around at this point. I have a feeling they need to hit rock bottom and start all over.

The Atlantic Division bites syphillic goats this year. Blow it all up and start over..

Well, we don't have anyone with trade value. I guess that means you fire the coach?

This doesn't seem like Randy Ayers' fault. Yes, he started the same lineup after he promised he was going to change. But what was he going to do, start Amal McCaskill over Samuel Dalembert? That was going to shake things up?

dola-

just had to tack on what a friend wrote in an email:


"Um, Randy Ayers may be the most insignificant firing in the history of the NBA. That being said, Chris Ford is probably the most insignificant promotion in the history of the NBA. Who was here longer, Ayers or Mike Comrie?"

AI: "Randy, we're talkin about practice. Practice. Not the game; we're sittin here talking about practice."

Randy: "Yes AI, you have to go to practice."

AI: "That's it man. No more dissin me. Someone get me Chris. I only talk to Chris Ford."

Rinse and repeat...

Ayers was a bad hire anyways, he couldn't control his college players how was he expected to control pros?

I don't perceive that AI was behind this one. I think he likes Ayers, although I'm not terribly sure.

The issue at hand is that they've been blown out of several recent games in the first quarter. It's a problem, but I'm not sure Ayers is the source, and I'm not sure Chris Ford is the solution.

There is no problem to which Chris Ford is the solution. Answer to a trivia question, maybe, solution, no.

I dunno. I'm sure if you brought him a stuck jar lid, or needed to set your VCR timer, he could probably help you out. :p
