    Holy fuck.

    Stotts needs to go. If that's not enough, then I don't know what is.

    I know a lot of people asked at the time but doesn't anyone know why we fouled near the end of the game? I hope a reporter asks.

    He's flashed on post ups. It's all we got right now. Give him every opportunity to fail. If it doesn't work go to Layman and try to find an Olshey special on the trade front.

    Stop the pick and roll. Nurk loses cool. CJ and Dame fight through a sea of hands. Turnover.

    Isn't that hard to figure out.

    I was watching the Blazers feed. I don't have a way to find it and share, but it was early in the 4th after a bad possession. Fortunately, the ball went off of a Memphis player out of bounds. Before inbounding the ball, someone yelled that. It was really clear.

    If that's the one I'm thinking of, then Calabro (whatever the fuck his name is...) said "and Stotts is LIVID!" So I imagine Stotts was pretty pissed about it. Which means the players have no idea what's going on. Which means Stotts isn't leading them.

    I think Napier needs to be in the rotation because he can score in that 2nd unit and we need that. I question Stotts sub pattern at the end of the game. Especially the last 1 minute of the game. The way this team play on close games really confused and that how Stotts coaches the same way in that time frame erractic.

    He occasionally manages to slop in a basket when he gets mismatched on a PG. It's not reliable. He's just as likely to turn it over.

    He needs to be in because he can run the point better than CJ or Turner. Those two are not good for the offense when they are running the show.

    You mean like, when a player finally gets some tape on them and the other team scouts them and the coaches say, "OK, all you have to do against Player X is Y." Not like Pat is some killer that teams gameplan around, but once a team knows your tendencies they account for it (or at least try) after that it's up the player to adjust to the adjustment.

    Turner kept us in the game there for a long stretch. This game is on Nurk and Dame.

    The problem with that is, if they don't run the PnR, it's just Dame/CJ going 1-on-1/2 or jacking up '3's.

    The point im making is to get him engaged in the game early. Run back door cuts to him I don't care. We have to get more out of him. He isn't THIS bad.

    It’s not about the mathematical odds or standings... it’s that we keep losing games we should win. Every season I think this will be the year Blazers turn the corner and then the same shit happens again...

    The pick and roll can work well, they just need to perfect it. Look at the OKC game. The Dame/Nurk pick and roll completely controlled that entire game.

    I think that's a better idea. Nurk on the high post and run some back cuts off the ball. That usually gets him and Vonleh more involved.

    Michael Holton on the post game show said we were fouling for possession and that he agreed with the move.
