    We have one, but he gets shut down by scrub point guards because of WHO KNOWS.

    If we lose the next two.... I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing some rumblings.

    I think our team can still make it to the playoffs as a 5th seed. That's if they snap out of their current funk soon.

    I think the Blazers will be fine.. fall somewhere in the 3 to 6 range... Aldridge needs to find his game though... maybe he needs a Bagger Vance.

    Fall down to 6-7th seed, take Spurs/Okies to seven games, fix team in offseason.

    Houston's gimmick offense was superior.

    They need to address defense and passing most of all. How many of the turnovers tonight were unforced? And how many points did that lead to?>

    George Karl? You mean the guy whose teams almost always under performed in the playoffs?

    That's the answer?

    After drawing up that out of bounds play for an alley-opp, all things are on the table

    Key words being in the playoffs. Stouts has to get us there to even have an opportunity to outperform "underperforming in the playoffs."

    He saw D'Antoni work it to perfection. Sadly, we weren't playing ourselves tonight.

    It's a suggestion. Which coach would you like to see help our team defensively?
