    What is also interesting about that list, is the top 6 "pace" teams, all suck. Just sayin. :NOTMARIS:

    Even if their pace isn't as fast, LA is a tremendous defensive team. We aren't.

    To make up for that, we HAVE to try to score more, especially with all the versatile offensive talents on the roster. KP built this team to run, and Nate (and to a smaller extent, Roy) isn't letting it happen.

    You must be mistaken. Ronald is a top defensive coach.

    :rolleyes:

    Well at least it isn't as bad as when Jarrett Jack and Viktor Kryapa were here. I remember one point they went 7 games without a fast break point. There is being last. And then there is being awful.

    We were a better defensive team than LA before GO went down. Just imagine what our defense would have looked like with GO, Joel and when Batum came back. The biggest impact of the injuries, this year, was clearly on the defensive side.

    That is correct. Our team defense was very high ranked until Oden and Pryz went down. For some reason when two 7 footers go out who block a lot of shots, it effects that....

    During the last road trip they had 12, 20, 12, 18, & 23 fastbreak points for an average of 17/game. So maybe they are trying to run more of late.

    But I agree that it's a pretty unimportant statistic, at least as far as winning is concerned.

    Tince set you up and you bit "Hook, Line, and Sinker". Is it not obvious that this stat is meaningless in terms of winning?

    Re: No more proof needed than this that McMillan is bordering on Anal Retentive insan

    Well IMO I am just happy they are at least talking about forcing the pace. In the past, we couldn't even get that. They would mostly talk about minimizing mistakes. Now, we hear active talk about forcing the pace.

    I wonder if part of the problem isn't.....conditioning...........:NOTMARIS:

    Re: No more proof needed than this that McMillan is bordering on Anal Retentive insan

    The Blazers have the second lowest turnover rate in the league. It's pretty obvious that this relates to pace. Obviously, Nate values low turnovers over pace. The team seems to be pushing the ball a little more frequently yet is keeping the turnover rate down. If this continues, I'd expect the pace to pick up. On the other hand, if turnovers increase, I'd expect Nate will tighten the reigns again. As long as the wins keep coming, I guess I don't really care.

    "EPIC!"

    Tince is obsessed with anti McDillon posters Mrs. Tince. If I misread his post and he "nailed me" then so be it. It doesn't change the fact that McDillon in my opinion is never going to get us where we want to go.


    This team makes it very difficult for itself on the offensive end of the floor. The playoffs are going to even more difficult, and RM will do the same thing he did in last years playoffs.... nothing.

    Re: No more proof needed than this that McMillan is bordering on Anal Retentive insan

    I think it was a bit more than that - Camby blocks many shots as well - but I do not think that he is as good a man defender as Joel or Oden are. He is more of a "weak side" shot blocker (which is still better than what we had before).

    Again, I think it is very hard to argue against Nate regarding our defensive woes this year, our 3 best defenders on the team (Oden, Joel and Nic) all missed large chunks of the season.

    The only thing I've read about Nate's personal habits outside of basketball is that he keeps his house meticulously neat and tidy.
