Really I am not a person to go crazy after a few losses, and I am not one to really criticize the manner in which a coach chooses to run his team. I also do not find it flattering when someone gets on BE after tough losses and calls for the coaches head. However, after what has been a pretty inconsistent start to the season and a wretched game against Atlanta last night, I have a few questions that I would like to ask the Coaching staff so I wrote them down here (With a little bit of ranting underneath.)  Feel free to put your questions in the comment section if you feel inclined to do so.

Question #1 Is, why in the Fourth Quarter did Nate wait so long before putting in either Greg or Joel?

Given how well Greg was playing I couldn't understand for the life of me why he wouldn't just let him play through it 5 fouls. Joel had 4 I believe so we wouldn't be at a complete loss. But even after he yanked Oden, he waited another 6 minutes to put him back in? The Hawks went on a complete tear with nobody to patrol the inside.I don't understand this constant need to play small ball. Our size really is our strength, why aren't we utilizing it all the time?

Question #2 Why do the coaching staff believe that Travis can legitimatly play Power Forward with LMA playing center while there is at least an above average Power Forward out there, or anyone with a little size for that matter?

And for all of the Travis Outlaw Apologists out there who think that he's so effective; do you Really believe that Travis can guard any decent Power Forward? Or even effectively get low post presence (Only 2 of his 15 shots were 8ft or closer, and one was a dunk) I'm sorry, but for as many of you who praise his scoring prowess (When he makes them) Do you really want him out there making mental blunders, jacking up contested shots at bad times, instead of a Oden, LMA, Webster, Roy (Blake or Miller) lineup out there? I like Travis, I just feel that the novelty of him started wearing off sometime around the middle of last year.

Question #3 With how Martell seemed to turn a light on offensively, why did the Coaching staff think in the slightest it was acceptable to pull Him?

This to me seems to be one of my biggest questions. Why is it that Martell seems to get pulled at what feels like the most inopportune times? He is playing so well this year (As I predicted he would :D ) At OKC he seemed to turn a light on and he got pulled shortly thereafter as well. This constantly confuses me. Martell seems more intent on finding a person to hit a shot first, or pulls the trigger on a 3 at the right time. I just don't understand the unwillingness to give the ball to the hot hand, weather it be Martell, Greg, Blake, Miller, whoever.... Greg had it going in OKC, and had it going tonight, but both Martell, and Greg got pulled when they were most needed.

That is all, I don't believe the sky is falling, the world won't end in 2012 and I still love my Blazers. Feel free to comment..
