Kinda cool to see him getting another HC gig, although he's got some work to
do getting/keeping the Big Whatever in shape.

I was hoping and when he was called back for a 2nd interview thought he
might get it.

That's a tough job he took. Team is on it's way down, expectations
are very high.....Larry Brown took a better job. At least he can
manage expectations.

TP already had a bad team and got fired for an injury riddled season.
He has been lead assistant on the pistons last two years, I am sure he
understands the pressure.
Besides Nash runs the offense, all TP has to do is sell them on defense...

GREAT Article about one of your up and coming young teams not named
Blazers in the San Jose Mercury news. After all we may be battling
for position next season. For those of you who have followed the
league a long while, if you read the entirety of the article it's
worth it as it sets up the punch line at the end.

It's more like ironic humor. It's no joke.

I'd call it self-effacing humor, & as a Blazers fan I am very familiar with
the genre. : )

Go Blazers !

Except self-effacing indicates the author is a W's fan, which I am not
100% sure that he is.
