[Blazinaway]

LOL, they fired Avery Johnson because of his bad offense apparently - let them try Nates...

Hmmm...

Deron Wiliiams complains, the coach is gone a week later. I see a pattern starting to develop.

calling it here, they are gonna hire sloan

 

[illmatic99]

Man, Deron has become a coach killer. LOL @ PJ Carlesimo taking over.

To all you Nate haters: You were right. Just look at what Batum is doing, look what this team could have done. I, for one, was wrong about Nate.

His offense was slow, predictable, and boring.

 

[Natebishop3]

They're just starting to realize that half the guys they went out and signed are over the hill.

Wallace? Shadow of himself.

Johnson? Nowhere near worth what he's being paid.

I guess they did dodge a bullet with Howard though.

I really hope his use of the word "are" was an autocorrect error.

Probably true, but you have to admit that Nate never had a PG like Damian Lillard.

Thank god for that. Dame would be out of the league in 2.5 years under Nate.

Dame is no Steve Blake and that would have been a huge problem for Nate.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I don't know what they expect, none of those guys are super huge impact guys they have on their team.

wallace was killing it on xmas

I was sleeping all day. I'm calling it now, Kevin Love to the Nets. :MARIS61: or maybe cousins would be good.

Excuse me....... Torrean Green!

Dame and Roy are interchangeable. If you take out Roy and put Dame on those Nate teams, it would have had the same effect (except Dame is a better shooter).

Lillard is a PG by nature. He looks to distribute the ball first and score second. Roy was exactly the opposite. For all of his greatness, he dominated the ball too much and Nate used him extensively in isolation plays. We'll never know how Nate may have used Lillard, but Lillard and Roy are not interchangeable pieces.

Damn! How could I forget him?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We'll never know how Nate may have used Lillard

Thank God!

 

[e_blazer]

Thank God!

Hey, I never said I wanted Nate back. I'm quite happy with what Stotts is doing.

I didn't say you did. I just saw that phrase, found myself sighing with relief, and thought I'd share.

I agree that Lillard is a PG by nature, but in Nate's offense I think he would have pushed Lillard to score more and pass less. He would have run more iso's for Lillard and stuck Batum and Matthews in the corners waiting for the three.

Stotts is using Lillard very much like a Steve Nash. The similarities are uncanny and I think Lillard has the ability to average close to 20 and 10 if he keeps improving.

I would believe this, BUT! I am countering your call with Kevin Love to the Lakers for Pau Gasol, this year!
