These are the Blazers loses and wins in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons when scoring 100 points or more in a game :

2007-082006-2007 season: 18W (5OT) -8L (6OT). (

2008-09: 36W (2OT)-4L (1OT).

The Blazers increased their wins from 18 to 36. They also cut loses from 8 to 4.

Do you think this has a correlation with a faster pace?
Does it mean that the Blazers should run more and use more their bench?
Could Nate keep a good team chemistry and increase the number of wins, and blow-outs, using a faster pace in offense?
Could the Blazers also use some kind of pressure defense?
最好的团队,最好的板凳上增加the pace to improve its chances while the worst team should try to play slowly keeping the game as short as possible?
No, there´s no poll.
