    I only say this cus I over heard Calabro say Stotts wanted us to push the pace, yet we walked up the court. So it sounds like the players aren’t listening.

    He’s one of the best coaches in the NBA and the best coach we’ve had since Adelman. We’re just hitting a rough patch here. We always turn it on after All Star break. Too early to panic.

    You know it's bad when you listen to the game on the radio and wonder if the Ducks game on the next station will be more fun to listen to

    Would you take Stan Van Gundy in place of Stotts?

    Whoever we play in the playoffs, if we get that far, I can already guarantee what we will see from them and what the result will be. Hint: We've already seen it every time this team has been to the playoffs under Stotts.

    I've said it once or five times and I'll say it again he'd make a great Sixth man.

    Well if you play Memphis style you get beat. Maybe it time for Stotts give one of the rookies a shot in the 2nd unit. Give them 2 or 3 games to get there feet wet and if it goes good leave them in the rotation because what they got going in that unit it's not working.

    This is a situation where a coach like Pops would bench the whole starting unit for the next game against a tough opponent and start the bench...just to jumpstart the bench...Duncan, Ginobli and Parker watched their fair share of games from the bench

    Yes, one of them was against a depleted LA team that would have handed us our ass if they were healthy.

    Get a clue, King.

    I'm wondering what's going on with the Blazers beyond the coach and roster...bay area writer Mark Spears said he predicts the team will be sold before the offseason. Trade deadline not far away...the team just doesn't seem as engaged as they started out

    It took an epic poor shooting night by the Blazers best 2 player for the Push, Pull, and Tug Grizzle to win. In front of a lame 40 % filled arena in Mempiss. CJ was red hot, always is there, but when it ain't droppin" for Nurk and Dame, you ain't winnin". And before the trolls suggest that others should have got their minutes, then the Grizzle would have doubled CJ. Move on, Walk out of Memphis, and beat the Raptors on Friday. Go Blazers!!

    As long as we get a change, whether it's a new arena or coach, then it can't come soon enough. Because I am beyond sick of this shit.

    Uh huh. One when Aldridge played out of his mind and stole us a couple games on the road and then Dame hit a ridiculous shot to save the series, and another when the other team lost it's 2 best players. Every other series we haven't really been competitive. We played hard against the Warriors one year. It's not exactly like he's looked good in any series we've had under him.

    yeah, they won the 1st one, 4-2 against Houston

    since then, the Blazers are 7-22 in playoff games and 3 of those wins came against the crippled Clippers team.
