Re: Earth to Nate!!! Stop teaching your players to switch the pick and role!!!!!

It's true that this is what the board is for, not saying these threads should stop. I justknow that when/if the Blazers hit a losing streak, this stuff will dominate the board, but didn't expect it now.

There is a saying: coaches get too much of the blame when the team is losing and too much credit when the team is winning. I don't think that saying applies to this board.

But yes, this is a message board so bashing Nate, Oden, Outlaw, Sergio, Bayless and everyone else is fair game.

I'm going to start bashing LaFrentz to switch things up.

Boise Blazer - even my wife at home who knows basically nothing about basketball then there is a problem. "Honey, why is Bayless always guarding the big guy and Oden guarding the little guy?"

roydezlaw - Outside of Joel and Greg, what's the excuse for the others not from Spain?

blazersedge - But the Mavericks with their Dirk Nowitzkis and their Jason Kidds and Jason Terrys make it painfully obvious. How many times can you see Jerryd Bayless on Nowitzki before you throw your hands up in disgust?

Acting tough impresses the casual observer, but smart fans like to see smart players.

Running yourself into a brick wall over and over, only to be stopped by it every time isn't smart basketball.

It's just plain stupid.

I might be mistaken, but I recall that many of these times the "power" forward in the game was T-law. It might be that Travis follows the smaller player on the perimeter, forcing someone to cover Dirk. That someone turned out to be Bayless. I am going to try and see if that is what is happening in tonight's game with Green playing the role of Dirk.
