    Yeah, I was debating between Detlef and Strick, but I chose Detlef because I like saying Detlef.

    Whitsitt REALLY fucked up a good thing. We had the best record in the league the day before he signed Strickland and hadn't lost more than 2 games in a row all season. We immediately lost 5 in a row, fell to the 8th seed in the West and got swept in the first round by the same Lakers team we took to 7 games (and fell one quarter short of beating) the year before.

    The first game we had Strickland, weren't we looking good early in the game, and then just crumbled (which was a microcosym of things to come).

    Yes. And I remember it was some kind of special occasion - can't remember what - retiring a number? Anyone? and they were playing the then Vancouver Griz, a really bad team.

    Yeah. I think it was Clyde we were retiring, no? Pretty certain it was.

    Strickland was a tool. He was extremely gifted, but Bob never knew how to stop acquiring talent.

    KP overvalued chemistry.

    Bob undervalued chemistry.

    Not me. Robinson has a much higher ceiling. Can we hire Karl Malone as an assistant?

    The Blazers continue to fail to aggressively hire top notch coaching talent for their young players. It mystifies me.

    At least they finally overhauled their medical/training staff somewhat.

    I'd rather have Hickson at $5M AND Robinson at $3.5M than LMA at $14M.

    Even before Neil landed TRob this coach was on my list of big-man coaches they should try to pry away.

    Considered the best big-man coach in college basketball.
