    We need one more star player. If we would have landed Paul George, this team would be something fierce. We will land that star free agent in the next two years in my opinion.

    You answered your own question. They had literally no offense.

    I think it's time for Vonleh to start again and stay on the court for a change

    The Blazers didn’t lose that game because of the second quarter. They lost because they lost the second half. And the greatest suckage award for the game goes to Evan Turner. First runner up was Nurk. Stotts wasn’t the problem.

    C'mon, BBert, Stotts is ALWAYS the problem. Get with the program! ;)
    But my god, Evan Turner is fucking awful. I don't know why I held out hope over the summer that he'd turn into a player capable of hanging in the WC. But he's Junior Varsity through and through. Get that guy back to the Eastern Conference!

    (And yeah, after Harkless, Nurk has been the most disappointing on the season.)

    To the OP, I have been thinking about that as well. Watched about three quarters last night. The First was terrible play. The second was the Island of Miss Fit Toys. You could see that these guys had no idea how to play together. I have no problem getting these guys some run, but it seems like that ;line up is better suited to play garbage time in a blow out, not second quarter in a game we are playing poorly in..

    I just think he needs to get his turnovers down. And get his fg% up from 45 to 50.

    When terry tries a weird rotation, he should be fired. When he sticks to his general rigid -ish rotation, he should be more like pop, and run weird rotations, but he doesn't, so he should be fired.

    So you are just saying Stotts should be fired because he either does or doesn't do enough. Right. Got it.

    ^^^I don't think anybody can blame you for last night's game, Damian. You were one of the few who looked to be trying.

    It's not about losing a close game. It's about the rest of the game before that, and as far as coaches putting you in a position to do what you do: that's also a problem. It might not be the right position for this team.


    On the offense 15 games into the season still not being there:

    Yeah....I'd say it's a concern when nobody outside of Damian and CJ scores more than seven points.

    So you seem to think Paul George would not be a good addition to this team.

    Hmmmm. I see......
