    First, i feel realy bad to start this thread after a loss like yesterday. I preferer a blown out loss to a close game when our best player in the game dont play the 4qr.

    Thats NO REASON for him to no put nurkic in the game. He was hot, was with 1 foul only in the game. This is our home court. We dont need to make adjusment, they need to make. Last C the nets playing all of them put 30 more points on them. They just cant guard C's

    This is the easy part of the schedule. We should be at least 7-5 or 8-4. This loss it was all on him. He's been OUTCOACH by every single coach in the league! WTF, he dont put the kids to play, horrible rotations, TURNER handle the ball and turnerover in the 4qr, WTF!


    Save the season neil and PLEASE fire stotts!

    Every one of these games that the team pisses away due to stupidity is another nail in the career of Damian Lillard in Portland. I do not care how many tweets and Instagram posts he makes claiming he'll never leave. If he feels this franchise isn't serious about winning, he will leave. Guaran-fucking-teed. He isn't LaMarcus, who didn't care about winning as much as he wanted his fragile ego stroked by being the "#1 Guy". He wants to be a winner. If he feels his efforts are being squandered, he'll demand to go somewhere they are not. We the fans will get the "sorry, it's a business, nothing personal, you know I will always love ya" Facebook post, and that will be the end of it. It is as inevitable as the rain. The only thing that can stop it is making bold, serious moves TO WIN NOW.

    If we're like this, imagine what the OKC and Cleveland fanbases are like!

    Isn't that because coaches get fired all the time?
    And the Warriors haven't met the Spurs in the playoffs? That seems wrong.

    The Blazers were 7-5 after a loss at home to Chicago. The question is moot, though. The team does NOT pass the sniff test as a consistent winner. The collapses of the offense at critical times, and the inconsistent defensive effort, are a sign of bad coaching and the fact that the very makeup of the team is broken, and will continue to be as long as Damian and CJ play together. One on them has to go, and CJ's trade value has never been higher. Stotts has a very limited time to pull his head out of his ass and find a way to make this broken puzzle of a roster somehow fit together. The schedule is only going to get tougher, and Damian's career in Portland is ticking.

    Neil may be PART of the problem but Stotts IS the immediate problem. No intensity, no hustle, no fire. That’s all on the coach - yes the players have a part but the coach needs to hold them accountable including the 2 pseudo-stars on the Blazers who don’t make any of their teammates better.

    I think we're about right for our talent level.

    Imagine for a second Jimmy Butler on the Blazers instead of McCollum. Size - check. Defensive intensity - check. Provides 20+ PPG - check. Holds his teammates accountable - check. There is a good chance Chicago may have accepted a trade package centering around McCollum if NO had bothered to call them.

    4 of our 6 losses have been by a combined 9pts.....finishing games is not our strong point this season

    I'm not ready to use Stotts as the reason...he's obviously frustrated and tried a rotation that failed last night....back to back losses usually bring out the torches and pitchforks...that's a given. We rely on Chief to stop quicker guards at the rim......we're not nearly as good without his defense

    Aminu is a bench player at best. He’s not the reason we lost.

    Not to mention having Crabbe start as our two guard next to Dame. Much better size but we'd lose the playmaking ability of CJ. Leaving us with just dame who could get their own shot and Nurk to some extent.

    lol no. Just no. Nurk is out there at all, we win. It's stotts fault. There's no other justification.

    What I saw was Pat C, ET and CJ turning the ball over and fouling guys like nobody's biz at the end of the game....there was a stretch where we just gave them the game....Nurk or not...credit where credit is due....those guys let the game slip away at the end
