Wow, **** reference not real cool, and I wonder do you ever offer anything that doesn't directly bash a coaching staff that has led this team from 21 victories 4 years ago, to now? Just wondering, becuase Nates pretty cool in my book....
At this point it's better than starting Batum - we cannot give up the 3-spot as a threat to score. It's killing us in this series.
Yes, the intelligence of the original poster is so glaring, I think Paul Allen should hire him/her/it to replace both Nate and KP.
Well let me see. Batum is averaging like a rebound and steal per game and almost 0 points. So who is the idiot now?
Dammit.. this kid is on my ignore list.. but I see he post when you guys quote him in your responses.
McCluess isnt even a clever nickname for McMillan, you have to try harder than that. i dont know why all the Nate hate here, sure he could do a few things differently but all this venom is similar to his first and second seasons where everyone said he had to go. the first year or two in the playoffs is going to be similar. he's one of the more respected coaches in the league not by accident.
lol, Starting Rudy or Outlaw is okay in my book, but If we dont start Rudy, I want Sergio and Rudy in together at least for a little bit to get the tempo up.
well, McMillan is facing a real problem. If he moves Rudy into the starting lineup, he has no backup for Roy. Right now, we're basically playing without a backup point guard, without a backup small forward, and without a backup power forward. Frye, Batum, and Sergio aren't getting minutes at all.
Batum looks like wants to go home, he hasn't done much this whole series. He's been Le Fantome, "The Ghost". I like him, but Nate would be correct in thinking about getting him out of the lineup.
For Portland to win this series they need both Rudy and Outlaw to play well. If starting Travis improves his play, then I am all for it. Rudy is already playing well, so no changes need to be made to get him going. He just needs to be on the floor more.
how about we ACTUALLY RUN more? maybe we score more points that trying to slow it down....yeah lets be oscer dela hoya and go punch for punch with primetime lennox lewis? good idea? no? shocking really.
