Honest question for Stotts supporters

Stotts sucks because he loses playoff series and also when he wins playoff series is what I’m gathering

 

Because beating them took way too long.

 

Stotts isn't mild mannered. Now, Maurice Cheeks was mild mannered.

 

There's nothing quite like a great root beer. The best I've ever had was home made. Today, the best I can find is IBC.
You're talking to a long standing root beer aficionado, my friend.
While we're on it, what tastes better than a good root beer float? Not a thing!

 

I remember that hotel and restaurant. I took my fiance and future ex wife there for our first martini straight up in any place that served alcohol before dinner. No, I have no idea what we ate for dinner, it must have been 50 years ago.

 

Here’s another question/angle: If Stotts was fired this season, would anyone be outraged or disappointed?

 

What's different about winning regular season games and winning playoff games? It can't be the Xs and Os. It must have something to do with locker room talk.

 

Personally I would not be outraged. Ultimately it comes down to who we replace him with that would determine if I'm dissapointed. Firing Dunleavy didn't bother me, but replacing him with Mo Cheeks did.

 

This is a narrative that is very popular in the sports talk circles. Just about every "Great" analyst has this statement in his repertoire. "He's a good regular season coach but he doesn't do well in the Playoffs". Kind of falls in the same lines as " He is a great player but couldn't win a Championship" group.

 

Heck no? Stotts has had a good run. If they decided to fire him and get another coach i'd be supportive. Don't think it's gonna happen but who knows?

 

That's just it, posters act like firing Stotts automatically makes us a better team. Just like with a trade, unless the team performs better then it doesn't make it a good deal.

 

Come on man, he has been here 8 years... why is it wrong for a fan to want to see something different when team is not performing. Does he deserve a lifetime contract because of one decent run in playoffs?

 

Do you feel the same way about Olshey and Dame for that matter?

 

Yes

 

Why are you making stuff up as I never said or even alluded to anything you said. All I said is that bringing in a new coach doesn't automatically bring success. Do you need examples Mo cough cough Cheeks.

 

What did I make up? I’m commenting on your post that firing Stotts doesn’t make us a better team. What’s wrong with trying something different? I think Stotts is pretty well known by fans after 8 years.

 

So if we replaced those three for Devin Booker, Mark Jackson, and Elgin Baylor you'd be happy because it would be something different?

 

Because it doesn't always work out for the better. I think it would be foolish to fire him during the season. Look at how many coaches Minnesota, Sacramento, Knicks etc have gone through. Did it make them better? Let's use the Sunss for example. During Stotts 8 years here they have had 5 different head coaches, multiple lottery picks and yet they are still behind us in the standings. Another example is the Kings. 5 coaches in the same time Stotts has been here as well as multiple lottery picks and all last year I heard how exciting and up and coming they are and yet, here they are still behind the Blazers. I have never said a coaching change won't happen as like a poster pointed lout the average length of a coach is about 2.5 years in one place, but there are no guarantees it will be successful the first or even the second time.

By the way, my support lies with the team, not a coach.

 

try and get this out of your head:

 

Obviously it doesn’t always work for the better, but many of us believe this team wins because of Dame and in spite of Stotts. In that case, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying a new coach.
