The Fundamentals

... Dan Bickley of The Arizona Republic: “There was a surprise awaiting the Suns at the end of Tuesday’s practice. It wasn’t pretty. ‘In the locker room!’ coach Terry Porter bellowed. ‘Everybody!’ Off they went, silently and obediently, bracing for the conversation ahead. It was an impressive show of authority from the new man in charge. It was prompted by a shoddy practice before the team left for New Orleans but could’ve been directed at any number of nuisances, from the dissenting voices in the locker room to the recent and reckless comments by Amaré ...

We have a coach who is going to try new things and if they don't work, as this article shows, he is going to modify his approach. That's all we can ask for. ...

Pre-Game Notes on the Suns
At The Hive —
... In recent days, we've heard Steve Nash take a veiled jab at the Suns' Shaq based offense. Now, it looks like the Suns' offense may be going back to its old Nash based system. Quoth Terry Porter: "It's a lot easier to control turnovers from one guy than from 12 guys. If Formula 1 isn't working, you go to Formula 2." The Suns offensive efficiency of 108.9 is good for 8th in the league, but it's a far, far cry from their ridiculous 113.3 offensive efficiency of a year ago.So this is probably in their best interest. ...

... Dan Bickley, Arizona Republic: "Though Porter has shown great patience, it's essential that he wrestle control of this situation, for his perception in the locker room, the league and in the Valley. Maybe he just did. He spoke with the team about the importance of unity and has spoken with Stoudemire privately. Porter would give no further details but admitted his Suns tenure has not gone 'as smooth as I'd have liked.' Between us, this situation between Porter and Stoudemire bears watching. Stoudemire didn't back off his inflammatory words, and I wouldn't ...
