I'm sorry HondaAccord, but I still remember that thread you may a few months ago dissing everything KP did and even tried to convince us that he didn't have a hand in landing Roy and Aldridge. And you have yet to regain any of your credibility back since then.

Here is an example of one of your reaches just now:

hondaaccord wrote:VICTOR CLAVER PROCEEDS TO SIGN 3 YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH SPANISH TEAM PRESUMABLY WILL NEVER PLAY IN PORTLAND

DARREN COLLISON - FUTURE TRIPLE DOUBLE POINT GUARD EXTRAORDINARY WAS DRAFTED ONLY ONE SPOT HIGHER

Did you know Collison was drafted #21 and Portland drafted #22? Tell me how Portland drafts Collison. Please I'm dying to know how #22 comes before #21. Was I taught wrong in my Kindergarten counting class?

Anyway, some of the other things was in that thread of yours months ago and you didn't listen then. You're a hardheaded person who has shown can't listen to any kind of reason. :rolleyes:

Shem, if you read your post you would have seen that I mentioned collison was drafted only one spot higher. I assume that trading up from 22 to 20 wouldn't require major talent loss.

Pattycakes · Post #7 » by **Pattycakes** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 5:58 am

Okay the caps just make your points look worse..but anyway.

It's been a terrible progression of luck more than anything, KP didn't take a bat to Oden's knees. He took a team noone cared about and made them relative, and same to Nate. But one consistent thing about that, when something becomes successful..the people who got it there are usually the first to go.

I want a change in personnel, our coach and general manager and solid and don't hold us back. If you want to talk about our lack of talent, I can do that.

Dude, whatever. Its' just one of your pointless reaches again to discredit KP falsely. Everybody with common sense around here knows it.

How many times am I allowed to vote for firing Nate?

2007 - PRITCHARD TRADES ALL STAR ZACH RANDOLPH FOR CHANNING FRYE AND STEVE FRANCIS.

FRANCIS WAS IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT OUT AND CHANNING FRYE NEVER AVERAGED MORE THAN 6.8 PPG AND 4.5 RPG

As corrollaries to this Portland also obtained Rudy Fernandez and James Jones the same day, he shorter contract saved the team literally tens of millions and created the capspace that was used to sign Andre Miller

PRITCHARD IGNORES CONVENTIONAL WISDOM AND DRAFTS GREG ODEN OVER FUTURE NBA SCORING CHAMPION, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AND ALL STAR

KEVIN DURANT

Actually conventional wisdom is to draft the big man/center over the small forward. The consensus at the time was also Oden over Durant

PRITCHARD DRAFTS RUDY FERNANDEZ

RUDY FERNANDEZ TURNS INTO A GHOST, INCAPABLE OF PLAYING DEFENSE, BEATING ANYONE OFF THE DRIBBLE OR HITTING A THREE POINT SHOT.

Rudy also set 2 rookie scoring records(3pointers made and 3 pointers in consecutive games)

2009 - PRICHARD DRAFTS VICTOR CLAVER IN FIRST ROUND

VICTOR CLAVER PROCEEDS TO SIGN 3 YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH SPANISH TEAM PRESUMABLY WILL NEVER PLAY IN PORTLAND

DARREN COLLISON - FUTURE TRIPLE DOUBLE POINT GUARD EXTRAORDINARY WAS DRAFTED ONLY ONE SPOT HIGHER

It was still one spot higher meaning that he didn't have the chance to draft him

Hondaccord loses credibility for a) his/her name being the name of a car, and b) typing in all caps.

That being said, fire Nate. Have fun with Kobe, Nate. You'll be great at "coaching" the team to give the ball to one guy and iso'ing the whole time.

Nate is a great superstar pleaser. "May I have the ball and not move and not have the rest of the team move?" "Why, yes you may Brandon! Thank you for asking!" "THANKS COACH!"
*lose game

Too bad it's not a democracy.

We need more talent, we need a healthy Oden or waive his ass cause we need his talent to be successful.

The front office still will likely be listening to what the fans want or risk alienating them. KP is still popular among most Blazer fans while Nate is decidely less so

Before I voted, there were 13 votes. 7 for firing Nate, 3 for firing both, 2 for firing KP and 1 to keep both. That means that 10 out of 13 people want Nate fired.

Look.

You guys are making Portland fans look like poop flinging monkeys. How the hell can anyone want Nate fired after taking a team that won 54 games last year, and lost 310 games to injuries and steered us to 50 wins (and would have been 51 if we didn't sit everyone for the GS game after clinching the 6 seed? Nobody does that. Do you honestly believe that our team is so absurdly stacked with talent that even with all those injuries we should be cruising to the finals? It's phenomenal what Nate was able to get out of our players this year. What are you guys complaining about? His rotation patterns? He played the players who were healthy. THat was his rotation pattern! I have had my disagreements with Nate's style before this year, but I can't see any way that the job he did this year, with the situation he was handeled merrits him anything else but an automatic 'yes, please come back next year so we can do this again' He has earned that. I really don't see how anyone can expect more from this team than what he gave us.

As for KP, he doesn't deserve to lose his job, but it sounds like he will. He also has done nothing this year that would lead to him losing his job. But the argument you can make for him isn't as solid as the argument you can make for Nate. You guys don't understand what you have right now, and I hope you don't have to see what happens to our team next year if Nate leaves to coach the Lakers or something.

Let's go guys. Loud and clear. We had enough of sarge, we want happy basketball.

People who vote for Nate to stay are making Portland fans look like poop flinging monkeys.

from the sketchy reports, it sure sounds like KP is in such trouble with management, that any fan support he might have will be irrelevant to those making the decision.

Let me ask you this. Can you look into the future and seeing the Blazers competing for the NBA title under Nate?

Think about it.

Fire time?
