    and then gave it to Wallace in front of the entire team.

    The bad news is it had "Bench Mob" printed across the front of it.

    Did he give it to Wallace?


    I love Nate. I feel he has really matured as a coach while here in Ptd. He is still the strick sarg that commands respect . . . but also seems to be growing more confident and comfortable with himself. He seems less stressed out than he used to be, IMO.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with Nate this summer. I'm afraid he is going to pull a Lebron/Bosh/Amare/Carmello/Garnett . . .and chase a big market team with a good shot at winning the title. Time for PA to dish out the cash, again.

    I think he started the "no headbands" rule because it was sort of a symbol of the Jail Blazer era. Since that era is long gone and pretty much forgotten, Nate probably figured this is a good opportunity to loosen up a little and trust his players.

    I'll be curious to see if anyone else wears one. Patti would be my first guess.

    I think if they all wore one....as a unit for wallace it would be cool. Especially since Nate wore one to give him. Funny also if the coaches did....at least through warm ups or something

    That sounds like a nickname one of the jailblazers would take.

    Guess we're going back to the dark ages. *sigh*

    And that would be cool if the whole team wore a headband. I remember the Raptors doing it back in the early 2000's.

    I made a point of driving up for the game for the primary purpose of cheering and welcoming Wallace to the team for his first stint as a Blazer. I was surprised when he didn't wear the head band, since Nate had already said he could. I inferred a lot from that. What I inferred was that he wanted to be part of the team, not do anything different, not get special treatment. To learn that Nate reciprocated by first wearing the headband, then presenting the headband in front of the team, I don't know, I think that is just awesome. That's a team. That's a family. As a welcoming gesture, you can't get much better than that.

    That's hilarious. But he should start. Nate's had this headband thing since he was in Seattle when Radmanovic had trouble following it and complained to the media about it.

    Edit: guess complained wasn't the right word: http://www.seattlepi.com/moore/221923_moore28.html

    If we are straddling a slippery slope, does that mean we are one side of the fence? I'm so confused...
