Yeah.... what does that make Mitch then?.... he gave him a glowing review and said he isn't going anywhere.....

Roo, come on... we both know that coach choice has nothing to do with Mitch. All he says about that is a lip service.

easy...

It's nice to see our subs be able to sustain a lead instead of blowing it like earlier in the season.

Since it is not the first time Ron does that - bench him. At least get up from his arse and give him an earfull. Something other than seating there, sipping water and collecting fat paycheck.

I don't disagree with that, but on the replay he was clearly not happy with him. We don't have the depth to be benching people for a bad shot, that would involve Ebanks coming in or the other starters playing big minutes.

.... why do you think that?.... A GM doesn't have a say in the coach?

Is that the same "lip service" he gave Dwight?

Jamison has gotten more comfortable, he's still horrible defensively but at least he's not a ghost out there anymore

Well the energy from the other night is not there tonight.

This looks like it's going to be a fight all night again....

Dwight puts it on the floor? That wasn't a bad move by D12..

I thought it was common knowledge that Jim is the one that makes personnel decisions, especial coaching choices. I even think there was an article on this.

Also, considering the latest Mitch interview on the differences between Jerry and Jim - I don't feel the respect and do feel some resentment.

It may just be me.

I can't name not one player on the Blazers team this time around.

I think we have the energy just not as fluid as the other night. Portland just plays us tough (but I knw you know that). I think we are bringing it.

Great effort there.

Dwight is long on almost all his FTs again, I don't understand why he can't correct this

I know it is just the second game, but something has certainly changed with Dwight.

8/8 from Dwight is very solid. In 12 minutes.

But I would like to see Nash doing more.

Definitely, looks a lot more engaged.

Hmm... I think the drama around the personnel and coaching choices is waaaay over blown. If Mitch wasn't making the decisions why have him..... or better yet... why stay if he's just a "figure head"? Only in Lakerville can every bad decision be made by the "Villain" and every good one be made by the "Hero".....

Back to the game. Some effort by Howard and Jamison is playing well..... everyone else looks out of sync.

8th year of this crap and you still thing it's correctable?

Dwight gonna foul out the whole Portland team like Shaq use to do back in the day.

they finally caught him..... he's been in there all night.

BS 3 sec call on Dwight. They call it when he scores. FIX!!!

Our set defense has been decent tonight with the exception of a few pick and rolls....

Roo, last point, if you had a new boss just in the middle of nowhere, would you rage quite or shut up and wait for the right opportunity for you to bail, while still getting paid.

that 3 seconds usually doesn't get called. Good D. Then Dwight gets deep position and gets another And1
