The "Re-Up" Gang (SLAM Review)

Thought this part at the end was interesting...

...Mr. Sonic himself has kept the young squad reined in for X-and-O discipline, much to the frustration and frequent chagrin of some his roster. It probably has worked out, kept some of the guys in their place and in good standing on the court…but this is the time to break free, and McMillan has to realize it. There’s no good in keeping a LaMarcus Aldridge around if he’s never going to finish on the break; there’s no point Roy shedding some muscle mass if he’s not gonna have open lanes to slash through; and there’s definitely little need for Batum, Bayless and Fernandez to fill lanes after a missed field goal if there’s no fast break.

So instead of dressing up as Steven Hawking for Halloween and asking the hypothetical NBA questions concerning the T-Blazers’ destiny in the cosmos, just watch them and let Nate’s boys satiate that discernable hunger on Time Warner.

It remains to be seen if it will actually happen, but with a point like Miller, if he doesn't let them run now, he never will.

Call me crazy, but I still think Nate did the right thing by forcing these guys to play methodical half-court hoops to help minimize mistakes and maximize wins -- a sort of 'walk before you can run' kind of thing -- now we find out if this team can generate stops and run the right way.

Whoever wrote that should be repped. Nate, you've taught them well. Raised them from puppies. Take off the training wheels. Trust them. They are ready to roll.
