NBA Coaching

Having to coach in the NBA is one difficult thing. Maybe easier now than 20 years ago, but...When the players earn much more than you do there is a underlying feeling that they may know more than you do. Anyway, the Blazers last night couldn't hold onto an 8 point lead in the last 1 and 1/2 minutes. Orlando got away with trapping Brandon Roy once he got over 1/2 court and PDX had no answer for it. They repeatedly either took bad shots or turned it over. Even after a timeout...!!! Make the adjustments and be prepared for it, cuz EVERYONE is going to try the same thing now. One of my big pet peeves in the NBA circus is getting the ball at 1/2 court instead of from the baseline after a timeout in the last 2 minutes. This is entertainment not basketball. Orlando lucked out again and got off a 3 pointer at the buzzer and hit it off the glass. Luck bag!
Take a look at the demise of the Pistons after getting AI for Chauncey. Practice?
TKT has said that Stud Jake will be gone by noon today...or not at all! In the Trib it was said the majority owner Moores is trying to sell his portion. Now I'm really pulling for him on this one. The PADS need new $ to get this team going the right direction. And get rid of TKT!!!
