Nate has a message for some of youIf you don't have a fork and knife

I will be happy to eat that crow, but Nates gotta string together a few more games just like this one before I do. I sure hope he does keep our team focused enough.

 

I imagine Rudy is not happy at all at being ignored even more this year than last.

Especially after Nate telling him they were going to use him more with the ball in his hands as a playmaker...

I think him, Blake and Miller should all get 24 mins, Brandon 36, and the SF's lose 12 mins collectively.

 

No Crow eating here.
The win has more to do with Odens increased level of play, and less to do with Nate's incompetence as a Head Coach.

 

It's very unorthodox.. especially when 'Blakey' was our team leader in minutes with 38. It'll be interesting to see what happens when we do play a team with a big SF, and which of Blake and Miller sits. I'd like to see Rudy get some of Blake's minutes, since he only played 12 but getting the win was nice. We really needed it.

 

Really? Blake's only value in this lineup is his outside shooting. Miller is a career 21% 3-pt assasin and has the 4th highest career assist avg. in NBA history. (I think thats what they said tonight, if I'm wrong forgive me but I don't feel like lookin it up right now) You don't want the better shooter playing SHOOTING guard, and the better passer playing PG?

 

Actually I would prefer it if he would shine here.

 

You know as well as I do what solves that problem. Playing better. If the players on the team would just play well enough to separate themselves from the rest, they would get the bulk of the minutes. Rudy outside of one game this season, has not played well, has not defended well, and looks to me to be laboring a bit. I am wondering if not taking any time off in the summer might have really been a bad move for him.

 

We have seen some great coaching this road trip.

There are leftovers if there are still Nate haters out there.
