    Totally agree. Who cares at that point. Shut em down anyway you can! Get in your players faces and make them know they can play the game the right way. You turn that quarter around and make the Raptors have to call a few Time Outs!

    And just like that 4-3 on pace for 48 wins but looking more like 40 maybe?

    I don't think anyone in here who wants Stotts out has a viable choice for his replacement.

    I'll wait....

    If something does happen and Stotts goes i would encourage the Blazers to look at Ettore Messina
    Euro league Champion 4 times and currently working for the Spurs. My feeling is he is championship caliber and will go somewhere. Also he brings euro greats to Portland without question. Because of small market issues and the fact American free agents don't really want to come this way it could be a great hire.

    Blatt took them to the Finals. Just sayin. Actually he was fired in his third year and many still think it was a huge mistake.

    It could be, that Blatt was bit different situation. It's Bron's team. We all know what happened there;)

    I'm not some Ettore's fan, but working with Pop could do no harm to him too.

    Like i said. I was pretty sure he wasn't trying to compare Cleveland or Miami to Portland. Those teams had LeBron. Plain and simple.

    This isn’t high school or college. Coaches don’t get in players faces to light a fire unless your name is Greg popovich. It just doesn’t happen. Stotts may not be elite but last night was on the players. If your players show up and lay an egg like that how is that on the coaches?

    You fixed nothing. Your original statement was that they tried that. The Blazers have tried nothing like that. comparing it to Blatt and having LeBron seems like you simply don't understand the answer to your question. You asked for other options or who people might consider a replacement for Stotts in PORTLAND. I gave you a name and a couple reasons why i believe he will be a good head coach and would fit in Portland.

    Whatever. I'm right in saying that an international coach was tried for the first time and it failed. LeBron or not.

    Now you are just fooling yourself. Professional is more likely to demand performance than College or High School.

    He/they do expect performance but “calling timeouts and getting in their grill” ain’t doing it. Those are my words not anyone else’s but that what people are insinuating
