    There's a reason the Blazers are playing so bad.... GS plays championship-level defense. Portland's pedestrian offense cant cope with that.

    We are really clueless on defense right now. Stotts better come up better defense scheme on defense in the next game if not we will sweep.

    When is the last time he did anything. I don't hate anyone, but I also recognize Jake is bad at defense, is not shooting good from outside and hasn't had a back cut dunk in months. Teams figured it out. Is the last series he played 11 minutes and had 1 rebound and 1 point and was attacked on defense with the pick and roll until Portland was forced to take him out.

    Terry doesn't adjust on the fly, and defaults to what is comfortable instead of what is obvious.

    He has to literally toss a game before making any sort of adjustments (like proven with 48 minutes of getting stomped), and even then he has to be forced to do it. This is my biggest complaint with him as a coach.

    At least this validated my concerns of not going to game 1.

    If either Dame or CJ can play well next game, we'll win. They both shit the bed tonight.

    And unless he is hurt, largely justified. He isn't just playing poorly, he is playing dumb. WTF is with him?

    Even Marc Jackson says Jake can make an impact in this series. Why can't our coach see it?

    how disrespectful is it of stotts to put seth in there with the scrubs after steph had the game he did? Terry that is fucking as douchey as anything you did tonite.

    Yeah it’s the coaching! Curry and Klay never play like this against anyone else! We make them look like HOF and annual all stars. What a disgrace
