@Chris Craig wanted a complete section for meltdown threads. It wasn't a bad idea really? But now it's soooo 2017.
So has Kanter. And Cj. Who is the guru behind the scenes righting the ship? We know its not Stotts...
that image perfectly defines the relationship I have with my wife and why I spend so much time in hiding in my shop or out in the orchard
Oh no. Now i don't know where to turn? How can i possibly give any credit to the coach for a number of players on the team playing better defense? This 8-5 record has me stumped also. Who can we give credit for winning over 61% of the games? At this rate they will win 43 games by seasons end? Every stat i look at tells me everything he is doing is wrong. I tell you I'm speechless!
Above .500 (Playoff type teams) Blown out by the Jazz by 20 (8-4) Beat the Lakers....best win of the season (11-3) Blown out by the Clippers (9-4) Blown out by a depleted Pacers team (8-4) .500 or below BARELY beat the thoroughly depleded Rockets in OT (4-7) Torched the Warriors (6-6) Blown out by the Warriors (6-6) Blew a 20 point lead and lost to the depleted Bulls (4-8) Beat up on a decimated, bad Wolves team (3-8) Blew out the Kings (5-8) Barely escaped against a shell Raptors team (4-8) Came from 20 down to beat the Kings (5-8) Came from 16 down to beat the Hawks. (5-8) First full game w/o Nurk. Lost CJ at halftime but that is when the rally started. So, 1-3 against Playoff teams including 3 blowouts. And 7-2 against the .500 and worse crowd, barely beating some of those teams. I give plenty of that credit to Stotts. That is SO much his coaching career. Isn't changing now, not changing in the future.
go pester someone else rookie was never talking to you in the first place! You chose to jump in with your PER expertise [so Melo is the 5th best Blazer instead of the 3rd according to PER...so what? My comments were never for you! Melt down!!!!!
Melo is our best player in a tied game with two minutes left in getting calls from the ref. Hands down, every time he makes a move? The refs blow the whistle. Not a bad weapon to have out there in crunch time.
according to 82games, Last season in clutch time (4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points) Melo: CJ: Dame: I'm looking at Melo's passing rating and his hands rating and I'm seeing someone who once he gets the ball, isn't passing it. Dame's ability to draw fouls is considerably better than Melo's (about 63% higher), and he's a lot more likely to find an open teammate if the defense takes away his scoring options
Man, just imagine what the fans of the 21 teams with worse records than the Blazers must think of their teams.
20 23 15 3 24 21 Except for the Bulls game, every team that has beaten has done so by at least 15 points. So, all we have to do is keep the game to within a 14 point margin, and we win! #notacontenderuntilthingsdrasticallychangeandthatchangemayhave2beStotts
And we realistically should have lost to Toronto and Sacramento, being down by 20 to both of those teams multiple times.
That has already been decided and accepted by many. Wondering if there are those that will say it's the worst team they will ever have? Now that would be even more "Meltdown" worthy.
