    He FINALLY spoke?

    All those years standing on the sidelines with his tight lips and crossed arms! Glad he finally spoke.

    What he had done? Did we win a championship that I'm unaware of?

    Have a hard time buying that excuse, because the Blazers played their best ball, by far, right out of the gate.

    I agree. Many of the players quit on Nate. When that happens the coach gets canned.

    You guys are heartless bastards. Like to see you all be so pleasant after getting fired.

    Very respectful interview by Nate and absolutely agree on the lockout.

    Peace Out Sarge.

    People could mock me for being fired if I still had 6 million coming to me next year

    ...and the fans are stuck with spineless players who will never be winners.

    By firing the coach who is working his ass off rather than firing the mutinous players who are cheating the fans and owner out of millions of dollars, you "accomplish" 2 things:

    1. You destroy whatever trade value those players previously had by labeling them as quitters and cancers.

    2. You announce to the world that management is cowed by the players to the point of impotence.

    We couldn't even convince an aging, eroding, former almost-star named Hedo to come here when we still had Roy and Oden in the picture. Nobody of value is going to come here now.
