Nate's never had a roster that should have made it out of the first round. With the holes on our roster and the mistakes in our front office Nate's good or bad qualities are very low on the list of reasons this team hasn't been competing for titles. I'd love to get an upgrade at coach, but who the hell's coming here? Ivaroni, Dwayne Casey, Mark Jackson, or Kurt Rambis? Nate is the only long-term positive this franchise has had going for it. Roy was special for his 3.8 healthy years he was here and LaMarcus finally had one great season. I am not eager to see Nate go after witnessing the continuous carousel of failing coaches throughout this league. As long as the players buy into what Nate teaches and gives him full effort I'll blame our struggles on the crap of a roster we've assembled.
Miller isn't the first player to mention something along the lines of being afraid to make a mistake. I would think we probably hear more of those type of comments being made under Nate than other coaches. At the very least it safe to say that some players feel pressure about making mistake playing under Nate. I think the question is, is that a bad a thing? Blazers have had some respectable records in the past three years in spite of injury after injury. Blazers lose there only all star this year and they barely skip a beat. Nate has accomplished a lot in the past 3 years given the circumstances, does he accomplish the same thing in an environment where the players are less afraid of making mistakes and can play more of a freestyle type of ball. With all the roster changes and unexpected injuries, I think I freestyle type of ball would have ultimately failed and led to the lottery.
people who like nate have festering infected herpes blisters on their mouths from sucking the puss ridden herpes infested cocks of nate haters
Really only one appropriate, mature response to this? I'm rubber and you're glue. Everything bounces off me and sticks to you.
There is nothing like a 65 year-old white guy who basically got fired from his last gig to turn the Blazers around! Rockets' record when Adelman took over team: 52-30 Rockets' record when Adelman got let go: 43-39 Rocket wins by year under Adelman. 55 52 42 (no playoffs) 43 (no playoffs) Yeah, that's our guy!
well that was kinda obvious... i think he did rather well with a team where kevin martin was his best player
