and if your wrong? You'll probably stick around acting like you never said such thing. Look I'm not McMillan's biggest fan either, there is definitely a lot of holes I see in his coaching, but this team is above everyone's expectations coming into the season considering what the schedule looked like. We have looked a little stagnant lately, but all teams have spells of play where they look like shit. With a much more favorable schedule for the rest of the season to think this team is going to miss the playoffs is ridiculous.
I saw Roy being assertive without LMA and Oden becoming spectators. Even when Roy took over the scoring, the other 2 continued to play hard and contribute in other ways. Here's the way I see it: if the "big 3" get to the point that they can consistently play well together, we have a solid foundation. If the "big 3" can't mesh together, we're screwed. The play of the supporting cast is secondary.
Agreed. We have too many guys who seem to think the paint is defended by claymore mines or something.
I think the whole "deal coming soon" fiasco proves that I will stick around if I am wrong. A lot of people say we are looking stagnant, and we need a shot in the arm. I am of the opinion that the reason we look stagnant is that other teams have figured out how to stop us. As far as I can tell Nate isn't implementing anything to counter that. As for not missing the playoffs because of an easier schedule..... Our first 22 games of the year were supposed to be our hardest according to KP and the radio guys. In those first 22 games the Blazers had a record of 15-7 (.681) In our last 9 games we are 4-5 (.444). So I'm not sure how you can argue that because our schedule is getting easier we will do better.
