    So now were giving Stotts credit for Dame having the ball?

    Got to admit dame was on fire that game but one other note. 3 players other than dame had double digits in scoring and Aminu had 9 so real close to having all the starters in double digits. I was at that game. Hood and Turner didn't do much but the blazers relied on what was working. Lillard from three. The Thunder needed to guard him and they couldn't guard CJ and Harkless (Who happened to be hitting threes that game) and still hold down Lillard. I would say the 34 points from CJ and Mo was pretty important as well.

    With Nurk back, his religious disciplines will not restrict his job as much.

    The right poll question answer is F* LA, The Title said "win" and that means more to Blazer fans than a Laker or Clipper recognition.

    Mo and Enes made some shots but CJ was 8 for 19 for 17 points, below his average, so it seems the Thunder could guard him just fine. Dame won this game nearly by himself. Giving any credit to Stotts for that game is just ludicrous, I still remember the look on his face when Dame hit that game-winner, the look of someone whose ass got saved again by the best Blazers in history.

    By the way, Harkless didn't hit a single 3 that game.

    after the OKC game, Portland's defensive rating improved from 117.1 to 116.5. So, they are almost back to where they were at the all-star break before they played a bunch of bottom feeders and go worse on defense

    so, 116.5. If they've truly turned around their defense, they should lose much ground over the next two games when they play the 4th and 1st ranked offenses

    We have the 7th best defense since Nurk returned.

    As far as I can tell, RHJ isn't even signed yet. I guess they're waiting till the 2 week deadline to see if there are any better candidates...

    Not sure what they’re waiting for as all available players are better than Blevins

    They won that series in 5 games. I’m sure if they lost it in 5 you would be willing to blame Stotts. Why doesn’t he deserve any credit?
    And no CJ was a problem for them to handle as well. He just missed a few he usually makes. He isn’t missing those this year so far.

    Are you sure? I did not look that up? Could have sworn he hit a few from the corner? Obviously I could be wrong there.
