Bad news. The Wolves lost again, meaning they're still behind the Blazers in the standings.

Super Coach Rick Adelman's 3rd straight year out of the playoffs.
 
Now Ridnour out, along with Rubio, Barea, Beasley, Darko and they just got Peckovic back. Injuries are a bitch.

I'm not sure why you find that so fascinating. He took over a 17 win team that has been hit very hard by injuries.

Nate took over a 27 win team and missed the playoffs three years in a row. But, he get's a free pass because he's your crusade of the month.

BTW, in spite of taking over some truly horrible teams (GSW, 26 wins; SAC, 27 wins; MIN 17 wins), Adelman has a .600 career winning percentage. He's also taken his teams past the first round 8 times. What's McMillan's career winning percentage? How many times has he taken a team past the first round?

But, if it makes you feel better about losing Nate, feel free to keep bashing Adelman, Van Gundy and Thibodeau, and every other coach who has accomplished a hell of a lot more.

I'm trying to decide who the award for gimmick poster of the year should go to.

He missed the playoffs 2 straight years in Houston. They fire him, replace him with McHale, and now they're a playoff team.

And the Blazers fired Nate, traded two of their starters and have the same won:loss percentage with Skippy the video guy as head coach.

Where did I mention Nate recently in this thread? Seems like you and MickZagger brought him up recently in this thread. I haven't commented on him. I'm commenting on what a shitty coach Rick Adelman is right now. I mean, just terrible. The game has passed him by.

You do know that if the Rockets lose their next game their winning % will be .527. Last year it was .524.

The Wolves, injuries and all, are at .455, compared to .207 last year. Sure looks like the NBA has passed him by.

Three years out of the playoffs says the game has passed him by. Don't like it, doesn't bother me. I've hated the Timberwolves since the Garnett days. If not liking a rival team or coach is a minority position on a Blazer board, I think that says more about the board than it says about me.

Nate missed the playoffs his first three years coaching the Blazers. Had the game passed him by? If so, we waited three and a half years too long to fire him, right?

Actually is says a LOT about you. You dislike the former Blazers coach that led this franchise to the finals twice, but like the former coach that never got past the first round. Of course many posters here have fond memories of Rick Adelman and the success he brought this organization. How long have you been a Blazers fan? Do you not remember those Adelman coached teams that went to the finals twice?

So, to be consistent, when Nate takes a job coaching another NBA team, are you suddenly going to start hating on him at every opportunity?

I loved Adelman when he was coaching the Blazers. That doesn't mean I have to think he's a good coach these days, and it's not like he won a title for Portland.
 
You have to start wondering about how many more years ZBO's knees have left in them. He's coming off of the bench now at about 15-20 mpg, and it makes my knees hurt watching him hobble up and down the court. I won't be surprised if he ends up having to pull a "Roy" and hang up the sneakers within a year or so.
 
Super Coach and Mr. MVP lose another one at home. This one to the Warriors. Funny how the Minnesota posts have slowed to a crawl. David Lee clowned Mr. MVP tonight.

Did you watch the game? lol.
 
Durant is so, so good. God, it's torture watching him, but I can't help liking his game.

You didn't watch the game then.

What, you're saying that because Love can't defend his position, that he didn't get outplayed? I know you're the biggest Love fanboi out there, but he's proving yet again that's he's little more than a Stat Beast. Maybe they can add yet another Top 5 pick and still suck next year?

Oh, I saw it. David Lee looked like the better player. Love is a Stat Beast who doesn't lead his team to crap, and doesn't make his teammates better.

You didn't watch it, its okay. If you watched it you would realize that GS went small and Lee played C much of the game.

Love DRtg: 103
Aldridge DRtg: 105

Just sayin. :dunno:
 
omg... Griffin posterized Gasol twice tonight..
