...THE most gratifying of his NBA coaching career. Really, can you blame him? If they win tonight, I believe it would be a totally worthy effort if fans met the team at the airport. OTOH, the plane probably wouldn't arrive in Portland until the wee hours of the morning. At any rate, GO (muchos shorthanded) BLAZERS!!
After having a chance to sleep on things, I woke up and realized just what a ballsy hard ass win that was last night. The team genuinely played pissed-off for the first time in ... shit, I have no idea. If they can all tap into their inner bad-ass from here on out and play mad for the rest of the season I'll count this season a rousing success regardless of playoffs, or wins and losses.
I sort of agree and disagree... It seems like they're playing better and better the more depleted the roster gets. It wasn't a switch suddenly flipped on at Dallas. I think what's going on is the injuries have created a helluva sense of emergency. No room for coasting or taking role's for granted. Guy's are playing their asses off every second on the court.
