You are right. 1 year out of 11 he was in the middle of the pack. Luke Babbitt scored in double figures 1 game as well. I am also not sure who you are meaning this for. It sounds like you are just trying to be a bully. Luckily for you, you are pro everything Blazers, unlike Mixum and Oden is God
No we didn't we won by 20. Basketball is a game of ebbs and flows. Runs are inevitable. Going fast break speeds up the amount of possessions in a game. When up by a lot why give opponents more possessions and a chance to get hot?
You just called Nate a good coach, and you don't even realize it. He also got the most out of Blake, Outlaw, and other failures once they left PDX.
Ray Allen was near MVP caliber that season. Also Ray led a sorta mutinty of the players against Nates slowball.
Dude, let it go. They weren't banned for being negative. They were banned for repeatedly and deliberately baiting other posters, which is clearly against the forum guidelines. The forum is better without them. They were both master baiters. BNM
That's important. When a player or team does well under McMillan it's because they're not doing things his way. The current team plays fast only temporarily, until he gets control over it. It will get slower.
I'm pretty sure what I said was "it was fun to watch" and "Ridnour and James played the series of their lives." If you want me to say that Nate was a good coach in one "fun to watch" series and got the players to buy into an uptempo team in a contract year, I will stipulate. Now do you get to say that the slow-it-down approach stifled those same players through the first 3 years of his reign there? Or that his still-can't-be-close-to-justified attempt to keep Blake at the starting PG by moving Roy to the 3 and Miller to the 2 was one of the stupider things any coach (and yes, I'm including Rambis and Del Negro in this) has done in the last 5 years? Or playing Sergio at the 2 so he could have Jack as the PG? Or... I don't think you can dig up a spot on the board where I've said that Nate is not a great motivator. You'll have to dig harder for "evidence" that he's a good coach, though.
It's against the forum guidelines and will get you banned. If you disagree with the policy, you should ask Denny for a clarification of his policy on master baiting. BNM P.S. I also have also heard it will cause hair to grow on your palms.
