    That would be extremely petty, but I wouldn't put it past PA to do it.

    The two wing spots are where you find the most athletic players in the league, but I wouldn't call any of Portland's 2 guards slashers or great athletes... average may be stretching it. Certainly the fastbreaking improved with the addition of Gerald Wallace who not coincidentally is an elite wing athlete.

    The other thing that hurt their pace was with their true 5s out with injury they had to play small for most of the year. Everyone had to crash the boards to help out their undersized front court which of course meant guys weren't getting out on the wings. I put it more on the personnel then the coach.

    If this is true, then Paul Allen is the 2nd dumbest sports owner behind Al Davis. If you are not satisfied with the job the coaching staff is doing FIRE THE COACH. It's like, "Oh yes, I'm sure we'll be a much better team if we only had better assistants." You're not going to fire the coach, but you're going to force him to change his staff? Again, I we don't really know if this has any truth to it, but if so.....
