    Nate postgame:

    When asked about Gerald Wallace coming back in the 4th: I'm the coach, I'll get my players out when I want.

    When asked about Armon Johnson: He get's up shots

    I'm starting to like Nate showing some spunk.

    Who was that white guy who dribbled that whole possession like he was playing a game of NBA Street and missed the fadeaway jumpshot after doing all that useless dribbling.

    Totally agree. That was probably the only post game interview of Nate's that made me laugh out loud. That was awesome. He's getting a bit of personality, ditching the Sarge is good.

    I remember that game too. It got so bad that Schonz decided to start the game over and started going on about it was "2-2".

    I'm still waiting for the Blazers to beat the Pacers badly, but realize no one plays on either team anymore, and actually, I don't think anyone who played in that game is in the league anymore.

    Actually, after doing some research, Jermaine O'neal is still in the league. If what he's doing can be considered "still in the league".

    First game I've been to in a few years and it's over in the first 15 minutes...It was good to see Greg without a cane! Getting to touch the game ball as it passed through the stands before the game was pretty cool. How long have they been doing that? Back again on Saturday. Hope it's a little more competitive!

    Yes the fact that the opponent was cleveland does damper the margin of victory. However I can not remember the last time the Blazers played such a complete game from start to finish.

    Wallace was amazing. His stats are bullshit btw. There is no way he only had 2 BS. (Hell he had 2 in 2 seconds) He was all over the place. Great passing, great block shots, drew about 5 OF's, attacked the basket. That was the most complete game by the team and by a player in years.
    Regardless of the competition, it sure gives us all hope. I love small ball when you can pull it off.

    Again the passing was awesome.

    Funny, that game was right after we beat the Bulls in their house. One of their few losses at home that season.

    It's still fucking stupid. Scrubs should have been in from AT LEAST the 8 minute mark.

    LOL @ him getting defensive about it. He needs to get called on that because he is always slow as molasses when clearing the bench.

    But that said, this was a sweet play that I can't believe happened in the MIDDLE of an NBA game. A three man weave drill. Ha!

    No, no. Nate's logic was to get the guys to jell more. I get that. Especially since the trade for Wallace. Sure, it's a fine line between chemistry and injury, but Nate knows that if his team stands a remote chance of winning in the playoffs they're going to need to jell more. It's a calculated risk, and I'm all for it.
