I hesitate to compare players, but the attitude and work ethic seem to be there. I think he is absolutely all-star material. I think given the minutes, the team we have may very well be more of a contender than we think it is.

I can't speak on behalf of the Blazer organization, but I personally think Nate McMillan has done an excellent job given the circumstances. I hope he will given a chance to coach a reasonably healthy team.

I hear what you are saying, but I've been saying the same thing about Aldridge, and look at the last 7 games...anything's possible.

...this means it is in Portland's best interest to make long-term decisions on behalf of Roy's health.

The word is "attack". As impressive as LA's performance was last night (which it was!), so was Fernandez, Matthews, and Miller. We are going to all of them again tonight for a win. We have a good record in the 2nd of back to back games. It could get done...

Does Roy need to sit? Maybe. Mostly, everyone on this board just needs to calm down, and not pull out nuclear weapons every time we lose a game. Are we having problems? For sure. Let's all just chill a little bit.

I disagree that coaching is our main problem. An unusual number of chronic injuries is our main problem. I think "NOW!!!!" is absolutely the worst time possible to make a head coaching change.

In answer to your first question, no.

I agree that this is somewhat premature talk. Let's talk about replacing the trainers that are turning all of our players knees to Jell-O before we get rid of a coach that's got us into a decent playing position.
