    Every year it's the same B.S in the first round. Can't rebound and settle for way to many jumpers. If it wasn't for ROY this series would be over. Until Nate is gone nothing will change.

    I think we play too cleanly. Nowitski should have a broken nose by now. It's the playoffs.

    I want a new coach (though something tells me I'd end up regretting it)

    Nate-coached teams have won playoff games. So, is "never" an accurate criticism?

    Seriously that was BRUTAL! Didn't even show up. How is that possible. Nate never realized he needed to put in Johnson or Camby to rebound. Even after Chandler kept killing us! Way to have your team prepared! I LOVE MY TEAM GETTING PUNKED BY THE SOFT MAVS.

    I said road playoff games. I think he has won one road playoff game in 3 straight years. That's AWFUL! and it was a game 1. He will never win won late in the series. No reason to even go back to Dallas

    The Mav's were favored to beat us. This isn't Nate's fault- we need some time in the offseason to figure out how to use Gerald Wallace to the upmost and need some more beef. And there's not much he can do about the refs...

    We will beat them in Portland and then we'll see in game 7.

    That would be pure awesome. Title contender if he comes back healthy.

    After Roy got bowled over on the "outstanding, active" defense of Marion with no call, I was screaming for Earl Barron to be inserted to put Dirk on his back. If we're playing pickup rules and lawyer-ball, then let's play. Especially after I would see him be "fouled" by a guard and scream like the Incredible Hulk.

    I don't think this is about Nate's coaching as much as it is about POR lack of scorers.....

    It is really hruting POR right now, they desperately need a Jamal Crawford\Jason Terry\Corey Maggette "type" of player who can come in and create his offense and create EASY scoring opportunities....

    This team struggles WAY TOO MUCH to score and goes through too many scoring droughts...

    I don't think it's a question of mental toughness. If you watched the comeback on Saturday, I don't see how you could question it.

    It's more a matter of strategy and preparedness.

    If he'd been healthy for Game 5...

    ...he would have fouled out in the first half.

    People forget how easily the refs took him out of the game in the regular season and Houston series. He's not going to be an asset unless the referees deem it so.

    If this team is going to be a jump shooting team against a superior jump shooting team they will lose! We have to pound the ball inside to LA and GW and command the foul line. If that doesn't happen Dirk, Terry and Kidd will jump shoot us out of the playoffs... NO Question About IT!
