    We had no shot to tie it with Stotts drawing up plays for Meyers Leonard and Pat C for 2 with no TO left.

    Worst play calls at the end of the game I've seen in a while.

    As I said earlier, on the bright side at least maybe we will finally move on from Stotts.

    I like Stotts and defend him a lot but those last two plays for the Blazers are inexcusable. That was NOT good couching by him in any sense of the word.

    We had a shot to WIN IT at the end, but Dame tried to draw a foul instead of taking a fucking shot to WIN.

    So to recap, we let them do just about whatever they wanted, they sold out to stop Dame and CJ and we never countered. In short, yet another example of Stotts completely shitting the bed and not doing a damn thing to help his team.

    Mediocre franchise led by a mediocre coach. How much money does Jay Wright need to leave Villanova?

    Let's give Meyers his first look of the night to go for a 2 late when we need a 3 and have fucking Dame and CJ on the team......

    If you asked me to rank players on our team who should be taking the last shot, Meyers would be dead fucking last.

    For that matter I don't know why Collins wasn't in instead of Leonard but it doesn't matter if we run a fucking pick and roll.

    I seriously want to rip apart Stotts right now. And then ET for actually throwing those dumbass passes. What a low IQ player

    Anyone that thinks Stotts is a good coach can kiss Homer's lily-white beer-soaked ass.

    That game plan and match up strategy was embarrassing.

    We need to stop shooting 3s so much. Get to the line, this is the playoffs after all.
