Game Thread GAME# 44: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 13, 2019 - SUNDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

And?

 

How do you think you'll grade Stotts.

 

Well, Jock Itch was just a bit too much for us to handle tonight. He and Murray certainly make a formidable pair.

Blazers played well. Denver simply played better.

Let's get the next one!

 

. If we had lost any of those games, people would’ve trashed Stotts. Instead, they had to wait for the next loss to trash Stotts.

 

I have no idea. He's been much better lately in terms of getting the team to move the ball and guarding opposing guards. But then a game like this happens and he makes mistake after mistake after mistake, and it makes you wonder how much of that improvement is due to competition? It also drives home my point of him being a poor coach under pressure, and situationally.

 

I listed multiple mistakes that Stotts made and you never have ANY argument for any of it! Instead you argue the generic "If we lost, people would've blamed Stotts, instead they wait for a loss to trash him!"...

That's absolutely false. If he didn't make numerous mistakes this game, I wouldn't be complaining about him. But he did make multiple mistakes, mistakes that you have NO explanation for.

 

We’ve won our last 3 overtime games, two on the road, one against champs, so no, he’s not a poor coach under pressure.

 

Can’t take anyone seriously who calls Stotts “a moron.”

 

Again, this is coaching. Some coach was counting long 2's as a negative score in practice of another team recently.

 

Terry never changed his tune. I swear. It was always something he couldn't control. Out of his depth apparently...

 

How many free points did we give Jokic by keeping Aminu on him? Why not Zach Collins? Even Meyers would be a better option.

That was the game there.

 

I'm not trying to bash Stotts ( in this post), but Dame making an incredible shot after what probably should've been a turnover (the pass to aminu was not good). Then Durant making a shot he normally makes, isn't really a win because of coaching... Now there were probably things in that game that were good coaching moves wont deny that.

 

Yeah, because he's coaching like a goddamn moron! You not being able to take others seriously is ironic.

 

Not to mention that Golden State played the worse game of their season and it wasn't due to us at all... And Durant got off a shot he makes 90% of the time to win and missed it.

But these guys will ride with Stotts no matter what, and will try to find anything to argue.

 

He was out when we needed a rebound and in when we needed a three point shot. It's perfect logic!

 

Or that "Stotts is producing with the talent given by Olshey." It's nonsense. We have more talent than most teams.

 

Hahahaha.

 

Not sure what to complain about on that game. Blazers went in and played tough the whole game. They were in a position to win or at least tie at the end. This was on the road against the best team in the west. This wasn't the 8th seed eastern conference team. This was a very good Denver team. Jokic played a great game.
Blazers need to come back and play a good game in Sacramento. Nothing to hang your head about with that game.

 

As if we can take you seriously? You aren't discussing the nuances of basketball that we were during this game, and you try to argue it in a generic sense...
