    Why? That Blazers team wasn't going anywhere big without him either and he's an above average coach.

    As much as I like the job McHale has done, I would not mind McMillan on our bench.

    Talk about blowing up your team

    So far away from the #8 seed....yet still every Eastern lottery team is in better draft position.

    Got to love it.

    This is what happens when you lose to the Knicks by 42.

    When they tank, they go all out. At least they know that their roster wouldn't cut it instead of trying to beat a dead horse.

    Getting that NJ pick with top-3 protection (could be wrong on that) and expiring for Wallace is a steal!

    They scored 30 and 29 in a half against two teams. They looked horrible. Team IMPLOSION.

    He doesn't appear to be very adaptable. Playing that slowed down sluggish style will all the athletes they had up there always seemed crazy to me.
