remember, nate played witht he sonics, who had big guards, nate and payton, and athletic forwards, kemp, schrempf, and when they were good they were famous for switching everything. remember how that worked in their 1-8 matchup with mutumbo and the nuggets. from best record to first out.

it kind of makes it hard for issues to be raised when the main beat writer for the team is the coach’s BFF.

and it isn’t just with nate…we all remember that mo cheeks was way in over his head trying to coach on a lot of nights, but his aptitude was never questioned either.

I think it goes without saying that there’s a coaching problem that needs to be addressed, but who is available that would be an improvement?

Dwight, thank you for your thoughtful reflections on a nasty game. What about Avery?? Go Blazers!

It was Rudy’s rotation to cover Joel’s man when joel went to help.

Avery grinds on players, so he might do well for a year or so but the Dallas players were in revolt at the end.

The points are well made in the above posts. Not sold on the fire nate thing but remember most of these guys are learning at the pro level instead of a full 4 years at college.
