    That said, would you like to see him as coach of the Blazers next season?

    George Karl is one of the greatest choke artists of all time.

    In 1994, he blew a 2-0 lead in the first round and became the first coach to lose to an #8 seed.

    In 1995, he got upset by the lower seeded Lakers.

    A few years later in Milwaukee, the Bucks were LEADING THEIR DIVISION in March. They failed to make the playoffs.


    Granted Nate was ON the team that got upset by the Nuggets and Lakers.

    No chance. Karl has a long history of making excuses (for himself), running his mouth to the press, and throwing his players under the bus.

    George Karl is like Byron Scott. Both have gotten immediate results wherever they've gone but quickly worn out their welcome. Either would be a welcome addition in the short term, but beyond that is anyone's guess.

    Karl would win a championship with the present Blazer roster if healthy. But I'll focus on the negative--he is helpless with rookies because he's not a teaching-type coach. This is anti-complementary to Pritchard's sole skill, drafting rookies. For the long run, Karl and Pritchard are a bad matchup.

    I think that Popovich would be the ONLY coach out there to win a title with our current roster - even if all players were healthy!

    To elaborate on Pops: [and why he could take our roster to a Title]


    He'd give Webster (Lion) courage;

    Aldridge (Tin Man) a heart;

    and

    Outlaw (Scare Crow) a brain;


    .... and Roy (Dorothy?) the ball - and tell him "just take it down the yellow brick road!"




    all the while throwing a bucket of water on Kobe (wicked witch of the West!) and make the Lakers melt away!

    :lol:

    Can we assume that Blake is Dorothy's little dog Toto, then?

    YES! And these are my reasons that Pops would take us to OZ!


    I think Pops would be the Wizzard though. And KP would be Auntie Em! Nate would be gone, provided Pops was in town!


    But "Blake" as Toto! I love it! :cheers:

    Not a chance.

    Who do you think taught Nate all he knows about passing off blame?

    Karl is one of the most over-rated coaches in the league.

    You know who I saw coach circles around Mike Brown of the Cavaliers the other night? Our good friend Lionell Hollins. He absolutely schooled Mike Brown the other night when the Cavs were in Memphis. Every play he was ahead of Mike Brown. Not that Mike Brown is a good coach. But it was impressive never the less.

    In related news, Armed Thug was able to steal candy very easily from Sedated Baby Left Alone in Stroller.
