    Oh for Crissakes. Nate has completely changed his philosophy this year and it's not because he swapped out Andre for Felton and shipped out a sulking backup 2 guard.

    Alright MM, I guess once again you can say you told us so. (Not sure what you are saying, but apparently you have been saying it for 4-5 years)

    Oh for chrssake. Nate has changed his philosophy because this is a roster that can run.

    Funny how many numerous posts in the past saying Nate is incapable of running. I guess that is wrong and he is capable of running. Why start this year? Not a mystery to me.

    very true. it has signs of being a very good combination, especially when felton gets his shooting touch back

    Whatever Nik . . . Blazers win, it's all good.

    Didn't mean to get you all worked up but MM has been saying for years taht Nate is a bad coach for many reasons including not being capable of running even if he had the right roster. he still can hang his hat on Nate not being able to get out of the first round, so not all is lost.

    I found it funny that when Nate does allow them to run MM says I told you so when all this time he said Nate will never do it because he is uncapable of it.

    And makes his damn layups. The only knock I have on this team are their blown layup attempts. Not just Felton. It's the entire team.

    The Thunder were missing their starting SF. They're not used to injuries so they don't know what to do.

    We have so many veterans. This looks like the Lakers of old. So experienced, they're making Nate look good.

    Batum has quietly put together a lot of excellent games this season. He's not tough inside like Wallace, but he's at least as good at everything else and better at outside shooting. Batum tried to dribble and lost it fast tonight, giving a glimpse of what would happen if he started at SG.

    We didn't have Thabo Sefalosha either. So it's even.
