And people were wanting to bring that guy to Portland? Man, if you're a power forward and you can't outwork Steve Blake for a loose ball...
Didn't you watch the games when they were here? They always switched on the pick-n-roll. It pissed me off!
Best thing about the video? They weren't in Blazers uniforms. Seemed like good guys when they were here, but i'm so glad we don't have to watch them excel at mediocrity anymore.
No doubt. Sometimes I watch our team play and I imagine Outlaw and Blake in there. Blake still starting, Outlaw still coming off the bench. Yuck.
by design ... Nate runs the same defensive scheme that he played in during his year's in Seattle under Karl, when they could run Nate, X-man, Schrempf and Kemp -- all players with a lot of length and capable of covering multiple positions -- and switching worked. EDIT: my bad, it was pointed out to me that X-man and Detlef never played together (memory and old age is a bitch) but the point is still kind of the same, the Seahawks switched on everything because of the kind of personnel they employed.
