    Have to wonder if Crawford got, or is in the midst of getting traded...

    I understand it....Crawford doesn't mesh well with the 1st unit.

    But still, it's fucking stupid because Felton is just so horrible. I just hope he gets less than 25 minutes.

    Great lets reward those that suck! Sets a good example for the rest of the hard working players.

    Well, he's been terrible off of the bench, and I'm guessing this is a last effort to try and boost Felton's trade value.

    This is a great game to start Felton. NO sucks ass, so Felton should be able to regain some of his confidence, and Portland should win either way

    I cant help but wonder what Nate's thought process on this. Is it a, "Well I hope you learned your lesson and now you are motivated" type thought or is it a "Well Crawford isnt getting it done thought"? Because I cant imagine him saying that Felton has earned it back. Just when I think that Nate cant have any less direction or plan ...

    I know you're joking, but starting him for Camby might not be a bad idea actually. Move LMA to center of course.

    My guess is that Nate sees the team has a DEF EFF of 118 the last 3 games, and gave up 40 points at home to Minnesota in the first quarter on Saturday.

    Felton can defend, at least.

    The Crawford experiment isn't working. Felton back to the starting role. It sucks but for this roster, he is the best starting PG they got.


    This season is turning into a nightmare.

    If you're going to play Felton 31 minutes, like last game (despite shooting 1-9), then you might as well start him. Crawford doesn't have to be out of position anymore, allowing us to maximize his talent. However, the elephant in the room here is, FELTON SHOULD'T BE GETTING 31 MINUTES! Seriously, Nolan Smith, a D-Leaguer, someone from 24 hour fitness....anyone but Felton.

    I think Nates "thought process' is totally short circuited, he seems totally confused, and maybe that's good and will get him fired faster - one can always hope

    Next up: Nolan Smith.

    Fuck this roster is so fucked up, we might as well start Batum at the point and We at the 2. We're getting blown out, and losing to average and below average teams at home. Could it possibly get any worse?

    The problem is you're assuming Nate has a thought process. The words "thought" and "process" should never be used in the same sentence when talking about Nate. He just seems to be grasping at straws and throwing shit out there is see if something works. Felton sucks, let's start Crawford. Well that didn't work, I know, let's start Felton (in spite of his total suckage).
