    Because KP put undue pressures on the man. That's why.

    I'm just saying I can see where MM is coming from. Personally I think Nate is this decade's version of Mike Schuler and Maybe I see Monty as its Rick Adelman?

    If Nate doesn't stick long term (and I think he's got at least one more year because of the injuries) and Monty is still around I could see him taking the reins.

    I couldn't agree with you more. That's a very spot-on take, IMO. Timing is everything, though. I think some of the others in here are suffering from premature somethingorother.

    Yeah, watching him do the interview segments last night my gf and I were talking about the same thing...it's like a finishing school for Monty at this point...

    Because they're both playing on shittier teams with worse players allowing for more minutes and no pressure.

    HTH

    So, KP wanted him to play Blake at the expense of Miller/Rudy/Bayless? Or are you saying Nate played Blake because KP didn't want him to, and Nate got his back up?

    Neither scenario really strikes me as all that realistic.

    Not sure I'd call Phoenix a 'shiiter' team.

    Which makes it worse that they are behind the Blazers in the standings..

    Tonight is the first time since Oct. 28 (when both teams were 1-0) that we've had a better record than the Suns. Something to celebrate. We are 4th in the West, and we just beat nos. 2 and 3 (Dallas and Denver).

    Luckily Nate's great coaching has led to Juwan having a better season than last year since arriving in Portland!

    The key to Nate's coaching? Injuries!

    If only we had Channing Frye. We'd be sizing up our rings right now.
