    1) Nate for coaching up this mess?

    2) KP for bringing in the right combination of players? (Miller, Howard, Camby)

    3) The players themselves?

    4) A combination of the above?

    5) None of the above?

    Dre Miller and Juwan Howard. Probably KP.

    Although, some might argue that Miller was KP's last choice - not someone he had originally targeted. And, that Camby was brought on because Vulcan had a gun to KP's head to get something done by the TD.

    I was gonna say... reason we are in the playoffs...

    1. Andre Miller literally saved this season.

    2. J Howard also saved us.




    3. Webster (played every game and played well when key guys were out.)

    4. Camby has won us at least 5 games since we traded for him.

    we all said miller was a bad fit and was just a last ditch effort but man... anyone out there today who would rather have hedo instead of miller? infact was there a better signing this off season then miller?

    without miller... we dont win 35 games. maybe 30

    we have had many guys step up. bayless, cunningham, and pendy also stepped in at key times when all hope looked to be lost.

    biggest wins of the year.... @OKC, home vs houston oden game, @miami, @dallas x2, @SA, home vs lakers, home vs SA, home vs orlando, @suns before break, @grizz, @GS, home vs dallas

    to be continued

    No we all didn't clown.

    The next time you get something right will be the first time.

    You're like some amazing get it wrong machine.

    I'd hate to hear your latest set Terminator X. Would probably send the entire Rose Garden into a coma.

    Clearly, Mix-ster MC Rudy Ceeee does b/c . . . apparently, as he goes, so goes the blazers.
