8 playoff games under McDillon....

[OddEnormous]

In almost 1/2 of those games (3 of the 8) we've gotten absolutely throttled.

Thank god that terrible, slow, mind numbing basketball we play all season long pays off in the playoffs!!!

The grind-it-out style only works when you play defense.

How many wins/losses do you get for a blowout?

I'm still wondering what's the deal with your use of the nickname "McDillon". I'm sure there's something really funny hidden deep, deep deep down in there...

 

[BrianFromWA]

I mean, seriously, if you're going there bust out the Assclown McScribbles reference.

If Scotty Brooks was the Blazers' coach they'd sweep the Suns 4-0

The energy tonight was discouraging. How hard is it to bring a great effort once every two days? Rudy was pathetic. LA was worse. Embarrassing to not play the game the right way.

You can't be serious.

The grind-it-out style only works when you play defense.

And your opponent is inept on offense.

Some day Nate will have to accept the fact that offense is every bit as important as defense, probably more so.

It is possible to win a game 1 to 0.

It is not possible to win a game -1 to 0.

Really? Let me clear it up for you. I'm trying to make sense of your obscure pet name for (I'm assuming) the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers. I'm also guessing that if you need to explain it, it's probably not funny.

Of course, it's also possible that I'm just ignorant of some clever pop-culture reference, and it actually is quite amusing, in which case I'd love to be enlightened.

Not true.....We'd win 4-1.

That doesn't clear anything up.



You just keep asking me to tell you something, but you're being a total dick about it.

It's weird.

"Oh I bet it's so stupid... But just tell me!"

I think maybe you're a little bit too high brow to enjoy it your majesty. Carry on with your books and feathery pens and leave the yuk yuks to us peasants.

Is this thread serious? I assumed it was a joke...

Is this post serious or are you being sarcastic?

 

[craigehlo]

The thing that worries me is that he he didn't adjust to the physical play of the Rockets last year.

Now we have to make moves slow the game down again and control the boards to have a shot. Here's Nate's chance to prove he's the right coach for this team.

Thanks for the tip. Here's one for you -- let the nickname go. There are plenty of other good options out there, and yours is not getting funnier with repetition.

Clear enough?

Speaking of clear....

About 3 boxes should do the trick.

Good luck!

That's a bit better, but you're still not quite back up to your old Zurz Gir standards. Keep up the hard work, though!

Man, whatever happened to OddEnormous of the Post your 'Zers Gear thread? You know, that happy go lucky kid that posted in webonics or something like that. That guy was a hoot. This grown up, bitter OddE isn't nearly as much fun.


Edit: @Trip - sorry to duplicate your post. I should really read through the last post before replying.

Nicknames aside, the dude does have a point.... it seems as though there were no corrections done by our coaches.

I didn't watch the game, but when I saw the score, my first thought was, "Gentry made adjustments, and Nate couldn't keep up." Probably just my own personal bias coming through.

From what I recall, "McDillon" was originally preceded by "Ronald"--likening Nate to Ronald McDonald. This could either mean that he's calling Nate a clown (or assclown, if you will), or it could also suggest that his competence as a coach is comparable to that of a typical McDonald's employee.

Last time I checked we're tied 1-1, with the next two at home. We stole one in Phoenix, which is really spectacular considering all the crap thats happened this season. Did you all really expect a W last night? I sure didn't-it would have been nice-but the Suns played like a team with their backs against the wall-you really expect Hill to have another 10-10 game? I think all the fair-weather fans need to jump off and stay off.

Oh, and I know we were "throttled" game 1 last year, and game 2 this year, but what is the other "throttling" that you are speaking of? BTW, since you're using slanted math to make your point-"3 out of 8" is just as close to 25% as it is 50%...

 

[Mediocre Man]

I thought it had been decided many months ago that Assclown McScribbles would be the name mocking of choice?

Regardless, I think Mr Sonic has done a great job of keeping this team together through all it's adversity, and in general, is a good motivator. He is not the best X's and O's coach, and his substitution patterns are odd at best. Not the right choice to take this team futher into the playoffs, and IMO, the team has outgrown him.

Game 6


OK, I'll be more exact... good thing we only get blown out 37.5% of the time in the playoffs

a 16 point loss is a blowout? And what you didn't mention is that we lost the other 2 in Houston by 4 combined points, which really would have swung the series back our way, obviously. You'd rather focus on negativity...

 

[OddEnormous]

Are you serious dude?

Did you watch that game for fucks sake?


And you're right. I didn't mention the other two awesome losses.



Sorry Nate. You deserve credit for not getting blown out in those other losses.
