Feel like Vomitting

First off, sorry for the delay. I was without a computer until tonight and was able to get back home to catch Game 4.

A sidenote before I start, if you haven't noticed by now, I have given Coach Nate McMillan's nickname a nickname from now on of Muff. It's not right to the (McDonald's) McMuffin. Personally, I love the fast food. Coach, on the other hand, I can't stand his coaching tactics. Nothing personal... AND, if football, "muff" is defined as dropping a punt/kickoff and in "Coach Muff's" case, he is dropping the ball as a coach...

Game 3 thoughts 1st... Steve Blake took a page out of Travis Outlaw's book in bonehead shooting in jacking up a Level 12 degree difficulty shot from a scale of 1 to 10 down by 3 IN TRANSITION without making a pass WITH a hand in his face WITH 13 seconds left!! The previous play before, my man Rudy hit a fade from the corner WITH a hand in his face and was really the main catalyst for the Blazers being in the game. Glad Jeff Van Gundy was on commentary as he called Blake's knucklehead play out (which probably Coach Muff did not as he only scrutinizes bench players)...

Oh, speaking of Muff, what's up with taking Rudy out in the 4th. If you were watching the game on ESPN, you saw a camera shot of Rudy exploding thinking to himself, "Fuck, we're going to lose this game because my coaching is a moron and just took out the hottest player on the team (in that game)". It took a Roy foul out to get him back in the offense...

On to Game 4: Muff leaves Blake in the 4th and produces a donuts across the board. And if you haven't learned by now, Blake is probably the worst transition PG in the game. A team under 25 that averages the least amount of fast break points?! That's unreal. Partially, that's on Muff too for not preaching it because if he did, then Bayless would be starting. When the Blazers had a chance to tie or lead in the 4th where Steve "Choker" Blake was running in transition, he pulls up and gets stripped unsurprisingly...

The Battle of two overrated coaches in Rick "I Always Collapse in the Playoffs" Adelman" vs. Coach Muff in who's coach is worse was epic (in Games 2 and 4), but in Muff's case, he makes Adelman look like Einstein (Did people not notice when the Rockets where up 2 with 41 seconds left that they should have shot the ball w/28 to 30 seconds left so they would get one last look in case the Blazers scored instead of shooting w/24 seconds left?!). Don't forget the Blazers down 3 with about 9 seconds left and Nate draws up a fade Outlaw 3 IMMEDIATELY: Shades of Steve Blake's beautiful disaster the previous game...

Alright there goes my stomach and my head, I can't type anymore, but I leave you with this: It's not to late to start getting long "The Notorious J.V.G. and JBAY next season and sell (short) Coach Muff and Blake!!
