Is he is still coaching as if he has his old Seattle team with Allen and Lewis. Those aren’t our strengths and they wont win much if at all in the playoffs.

Infact the only time I believe Nate’s team made the playoffs and won was the contract year for Allen/Jerome James and a few others including Nate himself.

Seems a little strong for the game I watched.

it’s against well coached teams. I’ve been holding off on major criticism of Nate for a while, but after this year, despite us catching almost every top WC playoff team in a serious injury crisis, we’re completely non-competitive in these games. Being young is one thing, going 1-10 on the road against every single team we’re competing against is almost inexcusable (should be 0-11, thanks CP’s groin). Even in our home games against them, we’ve managed to beat Utah minus AK47 and Boozer, Houston on a last second 30 footer, SA without Manu, and Denver without Melo. Our one decent win against a top 9 WC playoff at anything resembling full strength was against NO @ home. That’s embarrassing.

I’d have to look through the game logs, but I’d venture to say that we were down double digits in all but one or two of those losses. Well coached teams are simply taking us apart. Chalk that up to youth all we want, but that 06/07 Bulls team that we’re all terrified to turn into (which won 49 games, almost exactly what we’re on pace for) didn’t have this happen to them, and the differences in age between our current team and that team aren’t exactly humongous.

Personally, I’m really getting to the point where missing the playoffs should pretty much guarantee Nate seeing the door, and getting swept in the first round (looking pretty likely now if we get there) isn’t far off there.

I know we were missing Oden and all, and that SA did this to Dallas (missing Terry, far more important to them than Greg is to us), but this is really getting out of control, any way you look at it.

were against bad teams, or marginal teams (0-2 against clips, 0-2 against sacto, 1-2 against Orlando, 0-2 against Minny). The only good teams they failed to at least split with were Utah and Houston. This included going 3-3 against SA and Cleveland, the two finals teams from that year, splitting with a 67 win Dallas team, going 3-1 over Detroit, the other ECF team, and, like I said, sweeping the defending champs in the playoffs.

I understand young teams having brain farts and dropping games like we had against the Clippers at home (the Blake debacle), and I understand us being a much better home team than a road team, but outside of that NO game I mentioned, and the Boston miracle without Roy, we’ve basically been uncompetitive against every other good WC team. People who say the west is weak this year are idiots. Maybe two of the top 3 teams are in the east, but 8 of the next 9 are in the west, and the fact is, we’re barely competing against those teams.

This isn’t just a knee jerk reaction to this game. I understood needing a miracle against OKC and losing to Dallas and OKC on the last road trip. I also understand losing to Houston and SA on a back to back as isolated incidents, but take them all together, combined with our road failings against them earlier in the year, and it gets disturbing. Being young is one thing, being down 15 at some point in like 10 straight road games is a completely different issue.

Has all the info you could ever want about who they beat and who they lost to.
