    The worst thing that happened to this team was that WCF run two years ago. It reinforced bad habits and convinced management that this team could be competitive. Unfortunately they played a weak OKC team and an inexperienced Nuggets team and were on the far easier side of the bracket. If they had been bounced early my guess is that Stotts would already be gone.

    I mean our head coach believes holding guys accountable on defense is simply a “catchphrase” and doesn’t believe in making adjustments in a playoff series.

    Great head coaching material.

    Tried to tell yall that a roster with one 6'2" all-star doesn't translate to the playoffs.

    Though I'm probably foolish in thinking we'll still win this series.

    Good news is we'll find out next year which one it is.

    ...also 13 FTA vs 27 FTA!! Blazers don't deserve to win, but this great of a discrepancy is unacceptable imho :sigh:

    Hmm.....this type of play/result in the Playoffs seems frustratingly familiar.

    Here's an idea. Let's bring back the Ter-Bear and CJ and maybe it will be different next year. (Version 6.l0)

    I think it’s because of the offense strategy. With 3 mins left tied game they run bush league plays that are predictable. Late clock and no time left they just fucking play basket ball like they have for years. Done know why they always seem to slow it down when they are close

    Appropriate that we lost by five. I feel like we were stuck at five back the entire game.

    The amount of wide open 3’s I’ve watched the past 5 or so years is gross.

    I think we need to play Little. At this pace we won’t advance unless something shakes things up. Little needs the experience and maybe he’ll add the spark we need.

    forget rely. dame is getting hammered on some of these drives without a call. for how aggressive he is there is no way he should get to the line just twice in such a physical game. guys are handchecking and holding him on every drive
