    The Cavs starting backcourt was Colin Sexton and Darius Garland. We supposedly have one of the best backcourts in the league.

    And if Stotts is nothing special, why keep him???

    What coach is available?

    Does SVG want to get back in the game? How fucked up is it that we lose DV just months ago?

    Won’t matter who the Blazers draft if it’s still Stotts behind the bench. This team will NEVER EVER sniff a championship with Stotts. Period.

    This was the last straw. Team was treating this game like a must win. Cavs were coming home from a game less than 24 hrs ago in Dallas and missing Love.

    Terry is sitting there on his hands doing the same shit he's been doing for 8 yrs without holding anyone accountable or changing anything. It's falling on deaf ears.

    So what? Have you ever tried playing a basketball game with people who can’t get a rebound? You’ll lose every time.

    This team is more talented than the G-League Warriors, the Kings without Fox and Bagley and definitely more talented than this Cavs team without Kevin Love...

    In a way I hope you're right, but I just don't think Neil or JA feels the same.

    That might only thing save Stotts job due to we don't have a good front court to contest shots and rebound the ball so injuries just might save him.

    I don't disagree. I just don't think the Blazers fire him. They are going to blame on Dame and his back spasms

    I respect you for saying you might be wrong; but it's unfortunate that it took a TV analyst to persuade you instead of guys on here. I don't believe TV guys and even most GM's and coaches are smarter than some fans. (No matter what HCP might think!)

    What I mainly don't get is, he keeps choosing to play Tolliver and Carmelo together as their "bigs" neither can play defense and both are way undersized against other teams bigs. At least play Moses Brown, or Skal more... Or I dunno Little since he is at least strong enough and plays with enough energy to cause some sort of damage down there.

    That 6’5” guy grabbed 6 rebounds in 13 min. And according to you, that is the key to winning basketball games.
