    I think it's clear that if we score more points than our opponents we'll win most of our games.

    I disagree, I'm pretty sure the problem is not enough alley oops.

    That's a really key stat. Going back all the way through franchise history I can see that this has always been a problem. If Nate can't seem to get this under control we need to find a coach who can.

    I see what you're saying, but opponent's FT% is actually a better indicator of future W-L record in any given year.

    This is a stat that has always hindered the Blazers under Nate McMillan

    Really? I didn't know Nate had more losses than wins; especially the past 4 years.

    Dude? It was a joke. The Blazers are 0-2 when being outscored. You don't get that?

    This is from the Steve "Snapper" Jones playbook. Scoring more points is the one-and-only solution. They score a lots and lots of points? You simply figure out a way to score more. End of story.

    Paul Westhead had a similar mindset.

    On nights when we're struggling to score Nate should put a 6th player on the court like he did that one time.

    Someone should send these statistics to the Blazers, I think we're on to something here.
