Wojo drops the bomb on KP

Woj has always seemd to be out for KP, but even for him this is over the top. There must be some truth to it, however small.

But take this report, along with Vescey’s, and Jaynes, and Kenny Vance’s, and they all add up to alot of issues for the Blazers front office that no fan knew about. (side bar here; don’t you just love it that before the Tom Penn firing, there was nothing in any reports about trouble in the Blazers front office, yet after the firing there are many reports about how these troubles have been going on for a year or more.) I hope that KP is not the “attention grabber” or “money hungry” person that Woj makes him out to be, from his public speaking KP seems to deflect praise, but behind close doors? Who knows.
I also hope our Team President didn’t fire TP because TP knew of something that Miller did that was enough to black mail him, that doesn’t speak will for either TP or Miller.
But the fact remains that there must be something going on, because besides Miller’s half-hearted attempt no Blazer official has come out for KP. If there is no issues with KP, then were is the quote from Paul Allen saying, “KP is my man”?

it really is a sad day for the Blazers and for Blazer fans if the Vulcan’s, (whoever they might be) are running the basketball side of things. They tried that before with Nash/patterson, and it didn’t work well.

Maybe with Pritchard out of the way we can swallow our pride, admit the huge contract to LA was a mistake and go fishing for some real muscle. My worthless opinion has all along been the need for inside muscle. They nickled and dimed the Jazz hoping to snare Milsap. They passed on Amare because he’s not a choir boy and there’s no indication they’re working on any other strong inside players.

Oh no, Oh no everyone’s crying, remember the bad old days and how Pritchard saved us from the Jailblazers and Pritchslapped them all along the way. It was all an illusion. All those great diamonds in the rough, Webster, Fernandez, Batum, Aldridge, Fry, Sergio, all prey in a league filled with sharks; all finesse in a league filled with real tough athletes. I believe they reflect the character of someone and it’s not Nate Mcmillan. Maybe Batum is a keeper, Maybe. This Blazer’s team has a soft underbelly and no one should epect it to go far with Finesse. Roy, the three old-timers and Bayless are the only hard bodies on this team. It’s not enough. My worthless opinion says it’s time for the next changes and some decisions about the core of this team. If Vulcan knows its business part that change will mean keeping coach Mcmillan and letting go of the softies after the playoffs. At least the end will come quickly.

about the Vulcan’s valuing McMillian more than Pritchard…then we are indeed in trouble.

McMillian is an inept NBA-level coach (which he proved – again – last night on national television, when he could even direct his team on how to break a zone defense.) Even color man, Jon Barry, (an NBA vet, i.e. he knows a little something about the NBA game) was wondering what McMillian was doing during the Blazers 4th quarter melt-down.

From what I have seen, KP has made shrewd and strategic moves to obtain personnel and to put this team in a position to succeed, likewise, I’ve seen McMillian, time and time again, fail to maximize the potential of this team.

I know we are in the playoff hunt, but I would hypothesize that it is in spite of McMillian’s coaching (meaning we have great depth regardless of the injuries) instead of because it. He doesn’t know how to communicate with his players at all. Bayless looks agitated, Webster has a vacant stare, even Andre Miller, our starting PG, looks to be fed up with good ol’ Nate.

Of course, this is just my opinion and only time will tell. We’ll have a better idea of how well Nate coaches when the playoffs begin, I suppose. Just hope that I’m wrong and, unbeknown to all, McMillian is a genius! (though not likely)

Peace!
