    They’re not a one trick pony. They’ve won games when he’s been out. Well coached team

    I think there is probably ambivalence in the front office. If Portland pulls a miracle and makes the playoffs, the Blazers will have all their picks available again, except this season. If they are in the lottery and the Knicks aren't the Blazers will have a lottery pick and a mid-1st round pick. Win-win....especially if the Blazers get a good look at the rookies and new guys the rest of the way

    By the way, Stotts was a decent dude and Billups paid off a rape accuser. So there’s that too. At least win if you’re gonna be a horrible person.

    We’ll see how serious this franchise is about winning once all trades are finalized and buyouts completed. We desperately need a legitimate backup C and now we have the cap space to pick up a veteran to help. If they don’t go out and get one then we have no chance of making the playoffs.

    Never said any of that. That was all implied by you. I can like things even if the results aren't good. It's okay, my friend.

    Pretty easy to see how well and quickly OKC recognizes defensive rotations and when/how to help.
    Blazers look stunned when they have to help on SGA driving to the paint. No fucking clue.

    Never said stotts was not a decent dude nor did I mention anything about liking Chauncey for anything other than coaching.

    Please refrain from assuming. Thank you. :)

    Wow I knew what I was watching was nuts and barley ever seen. What an unbelievable talent and lucky fanbase to have a player like SGA

    After we built a 9 point lead, OKC goes on a 10-0 run and a 12-0 run to put the game away. Pathetic.

    So why do you prefer Billups over Stotts?

    Sharpe was the bright spot. Reddish was another bright spot.

    yeah....and while the Blazers don't have good defenders, they also don't have stupid players. So at this point the clueless defense if from clueless coaching.

    I'm still going to enjoy the season but not expect much and that's okay. It's the off-season and next year that are important. Cronins job is on the line and hinges on this off-season, period. But I can be patient and wait.

    It's cool, it's not that he never passed it's that he had a lot of plays where he went one on five and didn't even look to pass. A lot like MeJ. CJ got assists too but he wasted way too many possessions going one on five.

    Dame can play some hero ball sometimes too but the difference is he is always looking to make the right play... oh and also he's a fuckton better than Ant or CJ.

    I want a new owner, new coaches and almost all new players. Is that too much to ask?

    Tell me then. Why do you think Billups is a better coach?

    Coaching, like I said. Lol. I just like Chauncey better, we needed to mix it up. So I'm happy. He's not the best coach, not even close, but better than Stotts (as most are).
