For the love of all that is good, please seperate Nate McMillan from this team.
It's never easy with Nate at the helm; your going into the game for an uphill battle.

I've long called for Nate's head; I do believe we have some talented players that aren't being utilized properly (Schemes, Strategy).
As mentioned by some other posters, I've seen YMCA offensive play that is less predictable than this 'System' of Nates'.

However, if the problem with the Blazers isn't Nate, then we may as well look at making some drastic changes post lock-out & post BRoy contract. (Blow it up?)

 

[MARIS61]

What? We're running?

 

[ILOVEODEN]

KEEP LEAVING PEJA OPEN NATE

The Lakers trailed Portland in Game 7 by 15 with 10:30 left...

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy!

 

[chris_in_pdx]

GET SOME FUCKING STOPS

 

[MadeFromDust]

Wow why couldn't we do this an hour ago.

 

[Darkwebs]

We should've played with this urgency, this intensity from the outset. It may be too little too late now

 

[B-Roy]

I like the fullcourt pressure, they should have done that earlier.

The Lakers trailed Portland in Game 7 by 15 with 10:30 left...

They also had Kobe Bryant and Shaq. We barely have the CURRENT day Shaq, let alone half a Kobe.

 

[MARIS61]

No more early games!

 

[Darkwebs]

Quick hands by LMA

 

[ILOVEODEN]

WERE TRYING. SWEET

 

[WillG]

People are calling out the players for giving no effort.
It doesn't matter how hard they try, Nate's schemes do not put them into a position to even remotely have a chance.

I feel sorry for them for having to play under those conditions.

 

[julius]

No more early games!

Shouldn't be a problem after Monday.

 

[B-Roy]

Man, I hold my breath every time Kidd shoots a 3....

 

[illmatic99]

Ya boy! BROY!

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum playing with some fire now. Roy says take that dallas

 

[MadeFromDust]

ok, here we go

 

[ehizzy3]

LETS FUCKING GO!

 

[ILOVEODEN]

HEART? IS THAT YOU? KEEP GETTING STOPS

 

[julius]

Why is Roy on some kind of cushion?

 

[ILOVEODEN]

JASON KIDD MISSED? PRAISE THE LORD

 

[chris_in_pdx]

This is absolutely ridiculous. Where was this Blazer team for three quarters? Why do they have to wait being down by 20+ points to decide to run their offense? Damn you, God, why the fuck do you hate Blazer fans so much that you put us through all this shit?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This resembles the game against Utah back in the mid 90's. Anyone else remember that game?

I do remember that game! Rod Strickland was our PG. But that game was nothing like this one. We won TWO games in that series.

 

[BigVolcano]

Dallas is always ready to throw a game away. Don't worry, Portland still has a chance.

 

[THE HCP]

REAL BLAZERS FANS UNITE!

 

[ILOVEODEN]

This is absolutely ridiculous. Where was this Blazer team for three quarters? Why do they have to wait being down by 20+ points to decide to run their offense? Damn you, God, why the fuck do you hate Blazer fans so much that you put us through all this shit?

SO IT'S GOD? NOT NATE? COOL

 

[XXPrimusXX]

GO BLAZERS!
