    So, do you agree or disagree? And it wasn't "super powers", it was common sense. The more players play together, the more comfortable they become with one another. But you keep on trying to be evasive. You're an amusing chew toy.

    I don't know if it would have gotten better or not. I can't see into distant lands as you do.

    I just know a team that played in Portland in 1976 did, so, I'll assume that Portland will go on to the championship this year on Planet No Injury.

    YES!!!!!!!



    And you're the dog who continues to believe he's getting the best of said chew toy.

    Bravo, Lassie!

    Go get it girl!

    If you get Nate it will be goodbye Showtime Lakers and hello Slowtime Lakers.



    Frankly I hope you get him as well.

    I think the Blazers propensity to run has more to do with Roy than Nate.

    I blame it on Nate, but I don't think he honestly knows he is causing the problem. Here is what I see the problem as. Nate feels every play he has to have his input, and or call plays. Because of Nate trying to be in every players back pocket, they stop and think instead of just reacting. When players are trying to run a fast break, or deciding to run one, they can't be looking over to their coach for approval. He just needs to let them go.

    I think when Monty was in charge, the disconnect between Nate and the players, actually let them have the freedom they needed to play. The facts are, he couldn't relay messages in fast, so the players just relaxed and played ball.

    From watching, I also don't think Monty was in their grills as much.
