    They will lose 10+ points in Phoenix. Time for them to go home and have a massive roster change again in the summer of 2010.
    Its time for another SG (Bye bye Rudy) and perhaps a new SF (Webster traded).

    I know! Once the season does end, and it seems awfully stupid to concede right now, how about we add a 7', 275lb center? That should help with both rebounding and interior defense. Get it done, KP!

    Miller and LA will have a good game in game 7, but both Webster and Rudy will choke as usual.

    I don't care what we get for Rudy. I want him gone.

    That would be more than satisfactory. Both were huge disappointments this year when they were expected to improve. Sessions definitely has a better chance of actually being better.

    Rudy for nothing is fine with me. I don't want him in the building for Game 6. I want Blake back. And Outlaw. I'll tell you this- Outlaw wouldn't be afraid to shoot. Nor would Blake actually. SIgn them both in the offseason. Send Rudy back to Spain.

    Maybe its not the players that are having the improvement issues, perhaps its the coaching. Why has most of our players that have left the org. gone on to become better under new coaches?

    I advocate a whole new coaching change....

    Who's gone on to be better? Jack? Same mediocre PG/SG he was here. Sergio? Come on. he was supposed to flourish under D'Antoni. Telfair?! What did Travis do in LA? There is ONE reason Channing looks decent in Phoenix, and it is playing time. Yet everyone here, sorry, not everyone, some in here whine and bitch that he is flourishing there, and Nate held him back somehow. Did you want him getting minutes over Oden, Aldridge, or Przybilla? No. Nobody did. He goes to a system that allows him to take 4 three pointers a game(did we want that out of our PF?) and all of a sudden people think it's the coach that screwed it up? Fuckin' A. So you say most players, who are these most players doing better?

    I'm happy with the season and proud of the Blazers- it'd be different with a normal strength Roy.

    I sure hope so. Roy was almost useless last night. It was painful to watch.

    While someone else already refuted this, even Frye is the same player. Did you see him in games 2-4? He was BRUTAL. If his shot isn't falling from deep, he's typically useless (last night aside - but I'm convinced the way we refused to box out that Telfair could have grabbed 6 boards). Yeah, he hit a lot of threes this season, but took a lot of them and no doubt gave a ton of points back at the other end where he gets run over.

    And Aldridge doesn't get ran over? I mean he's just as soft. Shit, Frye took it too him and knocked LMA back, it was crazy.

    Not saying Frye is better than LMA, but come on, he's way better than putting Howard in at Center. LMA/Frye could have been helpful.

    Yeah, Frye'd be better than Howard. That's assuming that you were able to predict the injuries we had to the front court, and trying to sign Channing this past summer by saying look, I know as it is, it looks like you would get 10 minutes a night here, but I have magical powers and can see into the future, and I know by early December, you'll be starting. But, alas, nobody can do that, he wouldn't stay here to NOT play, and saying he's better than Howard means shit since Howard wasn't scheduled to be our starting C back in July or August, when Frye signed in phoenix.
    So who are all these other guys who have gone on to be better? You said most. I'm really curious of who.

    Shipping out two bench players isn't my idea of a "massive roster change".

    Nate fucked up Frye. Frye NEVER had a clear role on this team, and when he got one, he flourished.

    No, Frye plays good every other year. He'll be back to teh Frye of old next year. Its a proven NBA Theorem.

    Frye has one fucking game in this series and suddenly he's an All-Star. He's still shooting under 30% from 3 for the series and under 40% from the field, and he's gettin to the line less than 2 times a game.
