    Coach McMillan do some coaching in the fourth quarter.  I watched Utah's Deron Williams score 10 points in the last 31seconds.  No defense and it was a lot of luck that we came up with the win.  We settled for shooting freethrows with a Utah team that is an awesome at freethrows 89% for the game.  Williams first two baskets were uncontested.  It is like we were giving up defending after doing a great job all game.  Call a timeout and get things straight.  Why is your team (McMillan) always coming down to the last seconds of a game and not forcefully putting the game away.  We need to show teams that in the last minutes they are done and not us.  Be forceful and not delicate.  Step in front of someone on the court and put them to the floor.  Don't allow easy uncontested baskets.  Everyone on the court new that Williams was going to shoot, he is there best player.  At least try to put some pressure on him and force someone else to shoot.  Please do some coaching Mr. McMillian down the stretch of the game and call a timeout before the next 7 point run from the other team.

    D-Will scored 10 in 31 seconds because we were playing prevent defense. All we needed to do was have them kill the clock and we make our free throws on the other end and the game was over. Give me Andre on the foul line with the game hanging in the balance every day of the week and twice on Sunday's. Finally, it was smart NOT to contest Williams' shots. He's a savvy player and would have probably got a couple And-1's or even been fouled shooting a 3. The best thing in that situation is to hope they use clock before they score.

    Lol, no. Dwight Howard would be the absolute worst thing to ever happen to Portland, and no doubt my fellow message boarders will let you know why.

    This past season the biggest problem was that we had 5 players that did the majority of the scoring for this team and the bench didn''t produce or defend at all.   This coming season the Blazers are going to need production from both the first...

    Joakim Noah has had his injury troubles. His crazy game and high energy make him a constant injury threat. What separates him from Oden and Rose (I had to just mention him) is his willingness to play the way he loves.

    Aldridge is not a diva. Dwight Howard is a diva. Allen Iverson was a diva. Kobe Bryant can be a diva at times.... LA is not a Center but he can play there at times if the situation demands it. If we have someone who can protect him inside then he ...

    Ibaka is a much better everything since he was two years ago. He even has the sweetest nicknames since The Big Shamrock, Shaq Fu. I mean Serge Protector, Iblocka and Air Congo. Dope.
