    Why not? He can't get our team motivated anymore. He can't blame injuries anymore. He just can't coach this team anymore.

    Doesn't give the youngsters any burn to develop. I can keep going on and on.

    I used to support him and made those very same excuses that we never had a healthy roster, etc. He won't prove anyone wrong. He is a terrible coach.

    Well on the bright side. Maybe Nate will be fired once and for all.

    I don't blame Nate all that much. Our roster just isn't that good. We need to make some moves.

    I agree our roster kinda sucks. But I've been ready for a different coach for three seasons.

    When Matthews was our only streaky shooter, we were okay... when we added Felton and Crawford, we got worse. At least Nate knew to pull bay less after missed shot #2 in a row. He's got this misguided trust in those two clowns because they're older.

    I want to get rid of him, but there really is no point to doing it right now and letting another no-talent clown take over in Bickerstaff. This upcoming summer is the summer of change, from the top down for the Blazers. They should just do it then.

    And the missed out on Adelman because of their stupid allegience to Nate McMoron.

    Entire coaching staff needs to be overhauled. Have whoever they hire bring along one or two assistants.

    Bill Laimbeer gets my vote as a replacement.

    I think anyone with more than say... 2000 posts in this board should be reset. They suck

    Oh, that's true - but you can't tell me that team we played tonight, or Sacramento, or Utah, or Detroit has a better roster.

    I could never cheer for Laimbeer; he was out of bounds when he caught that pass, dammit!

    Been saying this for years. And while our roster isn't great, it is certainly under-performing because of McMillan's system. Our roster is no worse than the Rockets.

    Showing your age there man haha, I remember that series but not that specific play. As for Laimbeer dude apparently knows how to coach, he did an impressive job with the Detroit Shock (Yeah, I know the WNBA) in just one year turned them into champions, and he was also coached by the great Chuck Daly. To be honest I am still surprised he hasn't been given the chance yet to coach in the NBA.

    Um..... McMuffin has never had a system, not three years ago, not ever! The defense can't box out or rebound, and the offense resembles a pick up game at 24 hour fitness....

    How has this changed guys in five years? It's been a joke with above average talent for a few years..now it's a joke with average talent and it shows!!
