    I define NBA experience as the number of coaches and systems you've had to learn.

    It's not humility, it's learned intelligence. More than most Blazers of the time, he passed the Oregonian's humility test. He was a very nice guy, even to reporters.

    Would be record breaking too, very few teams have ever lost going up 3-1.

    Yes.

    Lakers lost a close out game 6 vs Houston in 2009. But even though they won all the others, that doesn't mean they were easy. He also gave Denver fuel to prove him wrong. I really hope the Lakers lose tonight.

    Also- in Bynum's rookie year, the Lakers lost 3 straight close out games against the Suns. Even though Bynum didn't play much, he had a front row seat to how hard it can be. And now history is repeating itself.

    Mike Brown is probably the worst coach in basketball bar none, including assistants acting as head coaches. Buck Williams could outcoach Mike Brown.

    Maurice Cheeks could outcoach Mike Brown.

    Honestly, I don't know what the Lakers were thinking.

    Wonder what it would take for DEN not to match McGee. That kid can be such a beast in the right environment.

    I really like Denver's GM.

    He traded a player who's on a ridiculous contract, 29 years old, for an up and coming player with potential.

    Building the roster with an eye on the future.

    I fear we're going to go the other way and "re-tool" and bring in players pushing 30 because Paul is extremely impatient.

    Ya well, he gave Nene that contract in the first place.

    And he quickly realized his mistake and got out of it before it was too late.
