The Phoenix Suns, mired in one of the worst stretches Odell Beckham Jr Jerseyin their history, have fired coach Jeff Hornacek and promoted Earl Watson to interim coach.
Watson was selected after interviews were conducted Monday with all three Suns assistants.
Watson was an NBA point http://www.footb... for 13 seasons and was in his first season as a Suns assistant after a year as an assistant coach of the Austin Spurs of the NBA Development League.
The 36-year-old Watson retired as a player in 2014 after appearing in 878 games for Portland, Seattle/Oklahoma City, Memphis, Denver, Indiana and Utah.
The Suns' season has been swirling rapidly down the drain for weeks and Hornacek must have known his[url=http://www.footballgiantsprostore.com/Phil-Mcconkey-Jersey]http://www.fo... days as coach were numbered.
The Suns finally fired him after the team ran its road losing streak to 14 games with a loss at Dallas on Sunday night.
The team issued a brief news [url=http://www.saintsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Garrett-Grayson-Jersey]Garrett Grayson Womens Jerseyrelease Monday morning announcing Hornacek's dismissal after 2 1/2 seasons on the job. General manager Ryan McDonough and Watson are scheduled to talk to reporters about the changes at the Tuesday morning shootaround in advance of the game against Toronto.
Since the Suns fired Hornacek's top two assistants - Jerry Sichting and Mike Longabardi - a month ago, there were only three assistants remaining on the Phoenix payroll - Watson, Corey Gaines and Nate Bjorkgren.
Watson inherits something of a mess of a roster and trades are a [url=http://www.saintsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Garrett-Grayson-Jersey]http://www.sa... by the Feb. 18 deadline.
To say defense has been a problem is an understatement.
Phoenix ranks last in the NBA in opponent's field goal percentage, next-to-last in opponent's 3-point percentage and last in opponent steals.
No wonder the Suns are mired in one of the worst stretches in history. The team has lost 10 of 11 games and 19 of its last 21. At 14-35, Phoenix's record is tied for fourth worst in the NBA and the Suns are headed for a franchise-record sixth consecutive season without making the playoffs, all under owner Robert Sarver.
