We've become Miami West-- Players only meeting after the game tonight

LMAO.

I'm sure everything will set aright after this. 18-0 baby!

 

One thing that might come out of this is that the players have realized the coach isn't always right and his pleas for "scrappiness" are getting old. Maybe there's more to the speculation that they're tuning the staff out, and they want to figure out answers on their own.

The last time I remember a Blazer team holding a PoM was when Cheeks was around.

Could this signify the end of Nate?

 

Players only meeting.

That is a joke.

Unless it's a blanket party for Brandon, it will be totally ineffective.

 

Nate has shown he can let these guys fly on occasion, but it's always been Brandon who slows everything down again. Nate caters to Brandon. Brandon can't run (or walk).

Nothing against Brandon, but he's got $100M+....go away and enjoy the money and have a good life. Let the rest of us try to enjoy some Blazer seasons without you dragging the team down just because you want to play basketball.

Hey, now.

 

It's a good sign. We're not going quietly into the night. I like the fact there's still fight in this team. They've been given enough excuses to quit long ago.

 

It would be great if this would motivate LMA and/or Batum to become more asertive and consistent, but that isn't their personality.

For good or ill, this is Roy's team. When he was one of the top 10-15 players in the league, that sorta worked. Now?????

 

Deep 'S'

 

Why would you Laugh your ass off? Isn't this a good thing?

 

Don't be surprised if it isn't Roy's team after the meeting. There might be a quiet change. The Nets had such a meeting yesterday or the day before, including coaches, and the outcome was first, to put Terrence Williams into the D-League, and second, to beat us tonight.

oh to be a fly on the wall in that one...

 

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing ... if the team goes on a run we'll probably all reflect back and point to this being the turning point of the season, if not then it'll be just another blip in a turbulent season.

 

had to laugh a little at the pot/kettle in this one tho....
"The culprit?........Lack of rhythm, added Brandon Roy."

 

Screw the PR departments' courage talk, it's the lack of cohesion on the court that's killing the Blazers.

 

I really don't see what you find so funny. Do you expect the players to not try to fix things? Is everything just futile to you?

 

I'm kind of proud of these guys realizing something is wrong and needing to get to the bottom of it.

 

I don't think Pattycakes will be the guy sent to the D-League as punishment. Hes the only 15th player off the bench to come out to the court and high five to his teammates on a timeout.
