    I just love how mccollum never lost confidence despite playing like shit for pretty much the whole game. He put the team on his back in OT. That's what elite players do. He's on his way.

    I guess Crabbe was given credit for it. They say Green actually tipped it in. Blazer broadcast said Henderson and the way he was jumping around I thought they were right.

    From the replay, I thought Green did tip it in. But it looked like Gerald was closer to the ball/hoop than Crabbe, so Hendo should've gotten credit for that bucket.

    I seriously doubt AC or Hendo care who got credit....it was a bucket for the team and these guys are all about team success

    Seriously, though. Stotts is the fucking man.

    We trash the dude when stuff goes bad, but getting this roster 26 wins in 53 games is flat out amazing. And the players are meshing, while playing HARD every night, and the culture is solid. Look at what's happening in SAC, PHX, BKN, MIN, HOU etc etc right now. We have it good.

    Give the man an extension already.

    Stotts is definitely one of the better coaches in the NBA.

    I'd like to keep him too, it's not like he's even that old. Only question I would have is why would he stay here when I'm sure some other team will offer him a bigger role and more money. He does seem like a team guy but at the end of the day it's still a business.

    Seeing as how the whole NBA world had us 29th this season....I think he's a good candidate for COY

    Culture, stability, family...Gerald has made his money...he wants to win..he had 6 coaches in something like 5 years in Charlotte with a different roster every year...here, he's a mentor and a floor coach..I think he's happier than when he was starting in Charlotte. Unlike Mo Williams...I think he'd take a 2 or 3 year deal for job security and more importantly, to enjoy basketball during his prime

    I wonder who Dave Joeger voted for All star.

    Also, Zach barbecued Mason. Wow that was some shitty defense. Davis was much better-- glad Stotts stuck with Ed.

    Zach is a very clever player and this was a good test for Mason...we forget how young he is...ZBo has seen every trick in the book

    No... It's gone back farther than that. Even in the McMillan days.

    Stotts always says at the beginning of every season...well I just hope we're better in March than November...then I know I've done my job..this coach is special that way

    They're paid off by the NBA. Some to the tune of 260K a year.

    We're going to have to choose between him and Crabbe I think.
