Although the young up-and-coming Blazers are struggling with the injuries of Brandon Roy, and Darius Miles (and Joel Pryzbilla who just returned yesterday), you cannot blame all of their loses due to injury. I think big big factor in why the Blazers have been playing so poorly is because of piss-poor decisions by Coach McMillian.
Even though McMillian rebuilt the Sonics for one year (mainly b/c of Allen and Lewis), he hasn't done shit with the Blazers except take them to their lowest winning total in history last year of 21 games. Congrats Nate... quite an achievement.
The mind-boggliing question I have right now is that why the hell is Sergio Rodriquez not playing more minutes or even better yet, why isn't he starting?! Dammit, this guy helped the Spain International team win a freakin' gold medal and his game can definite be compared to that of 2-time MVP Steve Nash... only younger. Sergio hadn't play a single useful minute in his career and it took two garbage minute-sparked comebacks from over 20 points to games that were winnable to get Coach McMillian's lackluster attention. Now, Sergio gets to play mainly 10 minutes a game, mainly the 1st half and then sits the second half out while opponents blow our asses (no not in that way) in the 2nd half.
Whatever the Blazers have done the past 2 years, it hasn't worked and I think it's time for a change. The fun and gun offense used by Steve Nash in Phoenix has completed turned their last place team around into NBA Title contenders. Sergio has the potential to do the same thing here in Portland, but fucking idiotic coach has got his head so far up his ass, he can see what he had for dinner last night!! And how's this for a knee-slapper: The Blazers were actually interested in getting one of Phoenix's assistant coaches a couple years ago before they decided to take Nate McMillian... Imagine El' "Rodrigo-Nasho" combined with Brandon Roy and throw in MVP contender Zach Randolph in there and you have your big 3 that teams need... Again, another Blazer brilliant decision...
