Learn your lesson Nate!

Coach McMillan, for the love of everything good about the Blazers, PLAY JOEL WHEN WE ARE GETTING DESTROYED INSIDE! First it was Bosch. You said that you agonized over choosing to play LaMarcus for offense over playing Joel for defense. You chose offense. It didn't work! It was one game, we forgave you. You just had another chance against Chandler and you let it happen again! Why???

Lamarcus is getting plenty of playing time, it won't hurt him to come out of games. He is a second year rookie and Joel is a seven year veteran. Hasn't Joel proven that he changes games? Joel changed my mind, hasn't he changed yours? He can clog the middle so others can score. Joel does a pretty good job of scoring himself as well. Please please stop making the Blazers be defenseless inside!

Last night you put Joel in at about the 8 minute mark and then yanked him out a minute later! WHY????? Joel needs to be in games when our offense isn't working. It seems so simple. Things are going too well for the Blazers to not simply do what works. You now have had 2 chances, leaving Joel out is not our first option when there are guys like Bosch and Chandler going to the basket at will.

It's SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I don't want to see it again!

Shall I bring up the lack of rebounding without Joel??? ARGH!

*grumble*

GO BLAZERS!
