How about instead of complaining about the refs

The amazing thing is, more and more people are agreeing with you and Marazul regarding "Nate" as a coach. Believe me, I was so "Pro-Nate" last season, until this pre-season. Hearing Nate say that Oden shouldn't start, after doing so well in pre-season completely boggled my mind. Also, the success Oden had in "pre-season" had more to do with the players that surrounded him. They were really using "Roy" as a decoy, which lead to more easy buckets for Oden.

Hey you don't have to run that 100% of the time, hell maybe not 60%, but Jesus Christ man, at least give the guy an opportunity to score without having to "create"

I saw a little of that last night, with Roy acting like the "decoy" or Miller penetrating and lobbing to Oden. Give him looks like that and he could easily get 10-12 points just on that alone.

 

When did Nate say that Oden "shouldn't start"? Because he ended up starting, didn't he?

 

It was reported by Quick 2 weeks before the season started. I have reason to believe that Nate only put Oden in the line-up after everyone criticized it.

 

I'm wondering where the quotes are from Nate, not what Quick reported. I ask because Oden ended up starting when the season opened.

 

Well I guess that is a valid argument, but Quick is the only one that usually communicates to Nate. He is the reporter from the "practice facility" and I doubt he would put his neck out there like that. And if he "misquoted" NATE, making it public, we didn't see reports or quotes from Nate saying it's false.
