I think that tonight's blowout could mean a loss in Utah! Again, another team to take for granted. Add your thoughts about another loss in Golden State, leaves us with games against Memphis and Los Angeles. This team, because of a lack of chemistry (and a well designed offense) often plays to the level of our competition! So I will go out on a limb and predict a loss in Utah, a win against Memphis an OT loss against Los Angeles - followed by a loss against GS! Now the upcoming loss against GS will be largely in part because we will rest our key players and "go for the loss" to secure 8th seed and avoid a round one match-up against L.A.
Thou shalt not question "Pray For A Trey." It is not just an offense, it is a religion! Woe be unto them that work for high percentage shots.
I agree somewhat with the 3's but is is an important part of NBA scoring as we missed so many wide, wide open 3's, you gotta take most of those, unfortunately most of supposed our 3 pt specialists could not make chit last night
That game was just ugly. All the way around, I can find nothing to take away from that stinker. Best to just flush that turd and look ahead to the next game.
There was a loudmouth GWS fan at section 334 that was flexing and talking shit at the end of last night's game - so I told him to enjoy the draft lottery again this year. This shut him up shortly. That was about the highlight of the game for me.
So when we beat the Heat, Magic, Spurs, Mavericks, Nuggets, Bulls, and Thunder, Nate has nothing to do with it? Nate's ability to coach is only judged by how he beats Golden State? What about our two wins against Cleveland? The Lakers lost to them. Does that mean 11 times decorated Phil Jackson is a bad coach? Why didn't he motivate them to beat the Cavs? Chill the fuck out. We're a good team and we've had a good season. Not great, but very solid and I'm proud of the team for that. Especially since our franchise player became a scrub this season who is less reliable than Travis Outlaw used to be for us. We also had to deal yet again with the loss of Oden. But Nate never made excuses. He coached who he had and got us into the playoffs in a competitive Western Conference. See the big picture.
Damn, I can't find a team that hasn't dropped a game to a bad team. Fuck. I guess no one's winning the championship this year.
Damn, now here is a fan, hehe Jeepers King, are you going all Sheen on us now? Settle down son, your gonna have a friggen stroke. Yeah..shit game, everyone has them. To blame Nate is silly.
even nate himself said they were gonna "burn" the tape from this game and move on, everybody shits the bed occasionally.....right? or is it just me
Sorry HCP, meant no offense to King, huh, I remember the lad from some time back, before he went all Hollywierd and stuff. He is a big fan, good posts and a good understanding of the game. I was just kidding him a bit. If I remember form the other forum, he had a pretty good sense of humor back in the day.
No need to say sorry bro, I was just sayin' if you didn't know already that KS was off his rocker crazy, you must be new.
No! Nate's job is to coach to his strengths as a teacher which is supposed to be defense! The problem is our team hasn't played a lick of defense since McMuffin came to town! If ya need an example, last night three different GS guards were wide open for three's all night long! Not one Blazer was even in the same zip code of the players they were defending. That's coaching! How many teams have run layup conventions in our paint this year uncontested? This team doesn't play team defense and that's a fact! Wallace and Mathews play good man defense but that was their gig long before they were Blazers! Don't confuse coaching with raw talent of our players! Nate has made a career hiding behind that mirage!
HCP..... I really hope basketball is something you're learning like a second language cause if you think this team plays "TEAM" defense I'd question if you understand how many players are allowed on the court at a given time too!
I'm not sure what this means.^ BUT You typed this.........(The problem is our team hasn't played a lick of defense since McMuffin came to town!) That is simply NONSENSE!
