Calling this conversation a "joke" because people didn't agree with you seems immature and desperate. It's the way you went about presenting your opinion, and why didn't you address the rest of my post? I also never said Utah was better than Portland, only that I thought they would win the division, so please don't put words into my mouth.
For this season yes it did.. I may not like the ass.. but he is a hell of a Power Forward. In the long run I think they will be better for it.. cause they have finally realized they had a good PF in Millsap. but talent wise and based on how they played with Boozer last year.. I would say yes... Losing Boozer was definitely hard for them. (not as much of a blow as Williams being out.. but anytime you lose 20 and 10 it is a big deal.. especially when you won a division just a year before with him) *Edit.. add the part that I didnt read all these posts just the last page and saw the fighting*
What are your thoughts on CK taking over this year? I personally was hoping for MB to run the program one or maybe 2 more years. But So far what he has done with the program has been right.. I dont question him now.
I think no one knows what to think about a leader until they actually have to step up and lead. That said, I heard both Dennis Dixon and Jonathon Stewart on the radio yesterday, and they said when Kelly talked when they were at UO, EVERYBODY listened to him and respected him. So maybe he does have "it". He seems to be a hell of a recruiter, and that's half of the battle in the NCAA. I'm am very interested in seeing what Bryce Brown decides on Monday.
I think the seeding changed a couple years back when a crappy division winner (denver maybe) got 3rd place and a good team like Dallas or someone got a 4 seed even with a better record.. it screwed up the NBA's chance of having the nba's supposed top 2 teams in the conference meet in the Conference finals. If I remember right.
the real question is, who is offensive cordinator? they usually get big name o-cords....aaaaaaaand suppsobly patkillkenny(you bastard!) is deciding on ernie kent, not mike belotti. seems odd because belotti would probably hire the new one if ernie was fired.
