Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

You Be The GM -- Nate McMillan

I realize you didn't get much from me in the way of season recap.  But what can I say? In my defense, I don't have any children and therefore can't take any baby pictures.

While I work on that shortcoming, check out the You Be The GM series on the Oregonlive Blazers Blog to read my thoughts on the job that Coach Nate McMillan did this year.  Note: all of the Blazers players have been voted on so you can also compare your thoughts to how the rest of the city voted.

They called it Blazers Survivor. I sure hope that Roy gets a lot of votes. I’d hate for us to think he was safe and have him get voted off like Chris Daughtry.

Exactly

Sometimes I go to the main page of Blazers Edge, press the letter “Z” on my keyboard, and wonder why my browsers doesn’t move to the next comment.

P.S.

I like what you said about Mr. Nate. All joking aside, I love the guy and I’m glad he’s the coach.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
