    Yes, I am certain, but more specifically, do you think it was Crawford or Felton?

    I think he was referring to Roy.

    Or Nate.

    Crawford is the most obvious. Nate's offense is a close second. It wasn't that fun to watch and I'm sure it wasn't that fun to play.

    Sure, when the Blazers were winning and alll was good, Camby praised his team and his coach. He went so far last year as to publically say he didn't want to be traded and liked his situation.

    This year is a struggle as Roy unexpectedly is gone for good and the team has no natural leader (as it turned out including Camby). He gives up on the Blazers and then implies Blazers are selfish players. Camby showed no leadership this year and was one of the first to quit on the team . . . ironically the selfish Blazer player he is talking about is himself.

    McMillan's system makes the center into a rebounding specialist. No scoring allowed. In contrast, McHale learned his technique from 80s championships. Camby was in jail compared to now.

    you've quite the imagination, but of course he's talking about his current ones. MC has been on good teams and bad teams. He's currently enjoying a healthy stretch while winding down a fine career playing winning ball in his home town. I really doubt he's so petty that he'd make comments meant to trash Blazer teammates... probably just wants the interview over and to enjoy the glow of the win.

    Funny, I remember Camby scoring. But I think this is another case of "death becomes him". Not death, but EVERY player who leaves the Blazers is an All-Star, HOFer, leading a team to the promised land, etc. etc. (even though it sure didn't happen with Monia, Khryapa, Woods, Telfair, Wells et al) but of course all these guys sucked big time when in Portland!

    Wanna bet if Nate coaches elsewhere we'll hear what a great coach he was and the management just wouldn't give him the right players?

    He'll do the same elsewhere--pull a bad team up over several years to .500, and when its talent level passes him by, pull it down toward .500. He regresses to the mean.
