Was at the game last night and thought I would post a few random thoughts: I was sitting behind the Blazer bench (row J) -Cho was out and about in our section shaking hands and talking to fans beofre the game -MB was sitting behind me with his daughter (very cute), said Hi and started small talk with him -Rudy got booed and cheered when coming into the game, Rudy's body language on the bench is not good, he isn't whine or sulking, but it is very much a whatever attitude (teammates slapping him on the back in a hang in there attitude) . . . maybe we don't care what he is thinking or feeling as long as he goes out and plays like last night -Matthews looked good (but I'm sure this has been discussed) -Joel was there and got screen time with some muched deserved recognition . . . I was sitting within ear shot of him and yelled we need him back -Paul Allen was eating dibs in the third quater while sitting next to Cho and Miller . . . Paul looks much healthier -I think I was the first to start to yell for Babbit, we got a handful of people to chant for Babbit . . . who didn't look so good, IMO -HCP has to come up with a new dance, he got screen time and did his old tierd robot thing . . . I did like the Blazer hooded look, it was kind of a retro stalker world series of poker look.
That is my point exactly. Nic played fewer minutes than any regular starter, and less than 3 bench guys. It is fair to say it continually happens because it has happened for two straight years and now the first game of his third year
Damn, you'd think after 2 cancers he'd be eating tofu and carrot juice. Good for him. BTW, today's SF Chronicle reported his yacht was spotted in Sausalito yesterday. Has he the uncanny ability to be in 2 places simultaneously?
I think I am just sensitive to the fact that he has played less than any starter, and did again last night. Sitting all of them at 18 minutes would have been different, but all of the other starters played more minutes.......again. The closest to Batum was 83 year old Andre Miller who played 22 minutes. Roy, 26, Aldridge 30. He always seems to be the guy that has his minutes cut.
Nate played 13 players last night. A "veteran" coach like him should know that a team is only allowed to play 12. Even though it is the preseason, Nate should be coaching like it's a playoff game. I say fire him.
