    Maybe we can trick someone into trading for him.

    LaMarcus is dangerously close to becoming a guy who puts up monster stats on a crap team ... which is really just an indictment of the rest of the team not him.

    McMillan is ruining our team. These players are good but are being wasted in this shitty system. It isn't are actual roster, it's the coach. I've been saying for several years that Nate blows, now some of you are starting to follow. He's a horrible coach who is ruining the players on the roster.

    Here's the bottom line: The team has quit on Nate. They've tuned him out. There's no spark, no fire. The only spark the team has is at home with the crowd juicing them up. A coach's job is to juice up his players on the road, to light a fire. There's none of that. Nate has to go.

    Looks like you'll have to bring him to Portland, it's the only place this garbage team can win.

    I miss Batum. He could have soaked up a lot of those useless minutes that went to Trash.

    Actually I don't think that's it at all ... most of these players (guard really) just aren't very good -- or at least they don't appear to know how to play with each other.

    It may be time but it's also time to move some players IMO, this team is going nowhere, need to make moves for next 2-4 years

    You might be onto something. "Sarge" may work with the rooks, but the vets can see though his bullshit.

    All these road losses follow the same formula. Come out decent, build a small lead, let the other team hang around. COLLAPSE in the 3rd, and then give up in the 4th.

    It's on the coach to gameplan and make adjustments, and then the players to execute. Quite frankly, I don't think one side is to blame, both sides stop caring once they hit a little adversity and it just snowballs from there. Changing one side isn't going to do anything, they gotta get rid of some of the players AND the coach.

    I don't think it would matter if we got Deron Williams tomorrow. McMillan would find a way to fuck his game up in his system too.

    I don't have much hope in this year's team anymore. Nothing to look forward to except the draft and free agency. If we make the playoffs, we'll maybe win one game and then get ousted like always.

    I guess I can always pray for a completely lopsided trade before the trade deadline, but even then, we would still be one and out in the playoffs.

    He was on Philly radio a couple days ago. Seemed enthused about making a return to the NBA.

    Hey, no argument from me on Nate, I've been ready and willing to go a different direction for awhile now. I'm just saying that it's as much of a talent issue as it is a coaching one with this particular team. Our guards just aren't very good right now and that's having a domino affect in close games.
