Is Paul Allen man enough to own an NBA team?

[MARIS61]

It's clear James Dolan isn't. He let a few prima donna players run his very talented coach out of town on a rail. No stones at all.

Portland doesn't have any players good enough to be convincing as prima donnas, but a few are trying to run Nate McMillan out of town to cover their horrendously visible lack of basic basketball fundamentals.

Anything less than full, vocal support of his coach at this time will confirm he is a eunuch.

a mans man, with hairy hands. a swollen skull and pituitary gland.

Completely disagree with you. Its time for McMillian to go.

Is he man enough to sell an NBA team?

Why did Jamal Crawford sit tonight???

Each June, the NBA Championship should consist of a wrestling league whose only members are the owners. I got my money on that Russian in New Jersey. What is he, 6-9 or something?

Allen quit on the team the day he didn't get 100% of what he wanted in the new CBA. He lost the right to complain about anything long ago.

If PA wasn't a eunuch, everybody from Larry Miller down to the towel boy would be looking for a new job. It baffles me that people think "Teflon Nate" should be the one guy to get a free pass!

Well, who is responsible for their "horrendously visible lack of basic basketball fundamentals"?

Them, obviously. Nobody made them pretend to be professional basketball players. It was their choice.

I don't really see how you can blame a coach for such blatant underachievement by veteran professional players who have bounced from team to team.
