    With our MLE (do we get to use one this summer?) I'd like us to go grab a rebounding 4, maybe Amir Johnson? Would be nice to secure some more boards.

    So was Clyde and he'd get 5-6 assists night after night.

    Ha! I love the ESPN headline: "Westbrook's big game goes to waste."

    God I hate ESPN.... We didn't win the game, it was just a scrimmage Westbrook played in!

    Westbrick had one of the most efficient nights offensively that I've ever seen him have.

    Amazing late game play by Stotts.
    The haters for Lillard & Stotts are mia.

    Stotts is kinda infuriating at times but he made good adjustments after the first quarter. I'd really like him to add a defensive coach to his staff this summer if he is to continue to be our head coach.

    Personally I see Stotts as a top 5 coach in the NBA.
    Can he improve? of course.
    Does he infuriate me with his rotations? Yes.
    I think some, not all... But some of his defensive issues are the roster not following defensive keys.
    Is that on Stotts for not getting the guys to be mentally there? Yes.
    Can another coach not named greg popovich fix that? idts.
    I mean the Hawks coach can't get Howard to follow defensive keys, he's supposed to be better than Stotts too.

    Stotts is certainly better than any other Blazer coach in my lifetime. The only one that might come close is Adelman.

    I love it he's not a homer. Besides in a few years he'll sound like a big blazer fan. Trust me time and perception is a muthafucka

    This was a shitty game by Nurkic.

    I say that because he still put up great numbers and had a huge impact on the game.

    How awesome
