isn’t that why Alston got traded?

Note to Mikki and Scalabrine:
I was really talking to you two.

Note to Scalabrine:
Channel your inner “LIL’ ENGINE”…

I KNOW you can, I KNOW you can, I KNOW you can.

Keep sayin’ it and you might believe it and you probably will be the only one to believe it but that’s besides the point.

Note to Mikki:
Ask Brian what I said.

would you want to tell ron ron he is no offensive god? i mean this is the guy who went into teh stands and beat the shit out of the wrong guy, the same guy who said “eh fuck it those dogs dont need to eat”, the same guy who got suspended for beating up his wife.

i bet if yao said “hey ron pass the ball to be instead of shooting” ron would say “you sit your tall ass down you dumb chinaman, i gots this” right before smacking him in the yao face.

But I thought more and more about it. The team that ACTUALLY ended up as the 2 seed in the West played in a division ALMOST as tough as Houston did. I’m talking about the Nuggets, and while they don’t have 4 playoff teams in their division, they do have 3.

George Karl had to deal with a COLLECTION of knuckleheads, instead of just one: JR Smith, Chris Andersen, Kenyon Martin, Carmelo Anthony, all of whom have definitely cleaned up their acts in the past year.

He, too, had to completely change his gameplans when his starting PG from last year was traded for a drastically different player.

He lost his defensive stalwart from the past few years, when they were a laughingstock defensively. Remember all the people that thought the Nuggets couldn’t be anything but worse?

More importantly, remember all the people that were calling for Karl’s head, saying that he was the cause for all the problems in Denver, and that he was one of the worst head coaches in the League? Where are you now? You know who you are.

The same thing happened to Sam Mitchell and Doc Rivers. “They’re terrible coaches!” Nooo. Just keep in mind how coaches can turn things around when you’re calling for Mike D’Antoni’s head, or Larry Brown etc.

PS I heard last night that George Karl averaged 59 wins for SIX STRAIGHT YEARS with the Sonics. Then he went on to success with the Bucks. Still blows my mind that people thought that he was a bad coach.

PPS For anyone that thinks that “anyone” could coach certain teams to good records, just look at what happened to the Pistons and Suns, seemingly perennial playoff contenders. Yea, Mike D’Antoni is a bad coach, all right. He improves the Knicks, and the Suns drop out of the playoffs altogether. The Pistons? Lose Flip Saunders, and they go from Conference Finals every year to the 8th seed.

Not sure where that’s coming from. Brandon Roy is on the cover of our current issue.

Yet again, no mention and no love for the dynasty that is building in PDX.

The supersweating of superstar balls continues on this site, but my team, which was considered marginal for the playoffs, just tied for #1 in the division as they packed and smoked the Nuggets in the game last night.

Guess y’all still haven’t heard, the Blazers kick ass.

with two foam fingers….. That shit is funny
