    This ^^

    I don't think we'll see an appreciable drop in Miller's minutes, I think what Nate is saying is that the reserves are in such disarray and are playing (generally) very erratically and that without a lot of guys in there that he fully trusts (Martell and Rudy) to hold onto or even grow a lead he wants a more steady hand at the tiller ...

    I like Jerryd and I would love nothing more for him than to succeed here, but it was pretty clear to me that in the little dribs and drabs of PT he's gotten so far this season he's been given one task and one task only and that is to attack the rim and try to punish teams that are in the bonus. You'll notice that Jerryd has exclusively been used at the end of quarters if the game was anything but a blowout.

    I can tell you what he's doing; winning seven of eight games.

    Did it ever occur to anyone that he may know what he's doing at this basketball thing?

    McMillan deserves the benefit of the doubt....I guess....?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I love Dimitri Martin. I wish he were coach of the Blazers. Not because I dislike McMillan, just because I like Martin.

    1-4 against teams over .500 Maxie.


    Maybe his players win in spite of him?


    Last year I think we were below .500 against teams with winning records as well.
