    I think coach has done a great job. Juggling egos and temperaments of pro athletes isn't easy. Our rotation is pretty much set, but it's the little things I notice. The way he interacts with the guys and other coaches is nice to see. The key for a head coach is to have everybody respect, and that he does.

    I was going to put on a Holdahl shirt a couple of weeks ago, but I heard him coming up the stairs so I had to bail out his bedroom window...

    Have you ever been on Paul Allen's yacht?

    Edit: I was just thinking, Allen sprung for superbowl rings for many staffers. If the Blazers win the title what are the chances you will get a title ring too?

    Nice.

    I wonder at times if his performance is a direct response to his happiness level. When he signed his extension his real desire was to be in Minny not here. There are times a camera will get a direct look at him when he is having one of his poor shooting performances. And I see irritation and not irritation that he is shooting bad. I say this because it happens way to regularly. So I just wonder how happy he is and how that effects him and the overall team.

    I think this horse has been beaten to death and blown away in the wind, although in Nico's court, he got paid really well and at the time it was a choice between Kaleb Canales and Rick Adelman's systems. Canales was from the Nate school of coaching. The Blazers weren't exactly lighting up the league in that lottery year.

    Coach Nate was/is a damn good coach! Different way and mentality of doing things. Some players thrive under different types of coaching.
