    Players-only meeting? That would make it #3 of these type of meetings this season?

    Well that proves Canzano isn't making up a story like he has so many times before. The players had another scheming teaming meeting.

    Edit: I was being sarcastic. I meant that Canzano probably made it up. I sure wrote that one badly.

    His article is out. He has anonymous quotes and does everything but actually name Felton and Camby as the guys who are apparently against Nate.

    What happened to the team that had such "great chemistry" at the start of the year? This is very dissapointing to hear if this is true.

    Chemistry means getting along with each other. I'm sure they get along just fine.

    What this team doesn't have is a strong leader that will call teammates out on their bullshit. (I'm looking at you LaMarcus. This is your team now, if Camby is pussing you need to call him on it. If Felton is pouting you need to smack him upside the head.)

    Canzano is definitely calling out Felton and Camby as the culprits.

    I don't understand the Camby part. I have watched him balls out diving on the floor more in the last 2 weeks then I can remember! He brings it!

    All while Chad B., the acting GM, sits and does nothing.

    I blame PA and Larry Miller. Where is the organization backing the coach. They are doing the same thing tn Nate as they did to Mo Cheeks. If we had a GM who could move players instead of getting permission from PA, miller, the Vulcans to get it done, players might have to worry about being moved. Nate is toast and the Blazers will enter the draft in June with no Coach or GM. Dark times are here. Cap space will not help without someone to recruit a FA without having to overpay them. I'm afraid dark times in Blazerland are here.

    I imagine the franchise makes a butt load more money if they play a few playoff games. By the time this road trip is over, maybe Larry Miller will abandon that plan and direct someone to take steps to improve the team for next season. I honestly don't care if the Blazers win another game this year as long as they focus on taking steps to make the team better next season.

    Crawford is our starting PG -- I have no confidence in Chad and Larry to make any smart (or bold?) moves to help this team.

    Me either. I have no confidence in Miller, Nate, Kolde, Vulcans, or Uncle Paul to make a basketball decision that's good for the future of this franchise.

    Some people believed Miller was bad for team chemistry because he was about quiet professionalism, rather than shaking pom-poms and kissing babies and/or asses.

    Aren't we soooo glad we replaced him with Felton!

    By waiting this long, while trade values continue to dip outside Nic, is frustrating.

    If I was Nate, I think I would call three players into my office (at the same time), maybe Pryzbilla, Wallace and Crawford and tell them he really wants to hear the truth about what is wrong with the team and what is wrong with the coaching.

    Working against Nate in the locker room? Come again? This team is working against him openly on the court with their play. Conspiracy shmiracy.
