    WTF are you talking about? With a quote like that, you have to tell us who said it, or at least link it.

    Were they just speculating, or did they say they have "sources" (as if it really matters).

    Bringing back Blake makes even less sense with Mac gone, unless he's coming to be player-coach.:clap:

    That's not a hint. That's a pretty definitive statement. The question is, was that just someone speculating, or someone with real inside information?

    You don't fire the head coach on the road, or else the GM (Larry Miller in this case) or owner or both will have to do it in person so someone can take control. The assistant coach who becomes head coach wll not automatically get control over his rival assistants without the presence of a common authority.

    This has happened very few times in NBA history. Anyone know when?

    I call bull.

    If Nate is getting fired, why trade for Blake? At this point, his only function in life is to make Nate feel all warm and gooey inside. He sure as hell can't play basketball anymore.

    We now know it's not Blake. Tomorrow could be very interesting.

    We really blew it. We should have hired Adelman.

    Point taken. But I do believe it was the day of the draft
    (just hours before).

    It's not happening on a road trip, so time for them to return those Murrow trophies.

    Paul Allen recently said that though he hadn't made the final decision about Pritchard yet, Pritchard asked to be relieved right before the draft, although he would conduct it. Pritchard did not deny this account.

    They may be honest, but they barely cover sports. I watched their morning news today and they didnt mention anything about Nate being fired in their brief sports segment. They only mentioned the game vs NY and Crawford maybe being traded. If there was any truth to this, I think it would be all over OregonLive w/ Crapzano etc.
