    I read a tweet that pissed me off more than anything I have read in a while

    Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 14m
    Funny exchange between #Blazers coach Terry Stotts and rookie @CJMcCollum during his press conference today. (cont)

    Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 13m
    "He doesn’t really care too much about you knocking down 3s if you’re giving up 3s and layups," @CJMcCollum said, before Stotts interrupted.

    Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 13m
    "I like making 3s, though," Stotts said, smirking, as @CJMcCollum was in mid-sentence. "That's a good thing."


    Stotts does understand that you actually need to play defense....right?

    From what you posted I read it differently. It says to me that Stotts does not like you giving up 3's and layups. Even if you are hitting your 3's....

    What McCollum seems to be saying is that Stotts doesn't care what you're doing on offense if you're not doing a good job on defense. Maybe I'm reading it backwards.

    What I find unacceptable is, why on earth would Joe Freeman dare to speak for Stotts? Who do these local media clowns believe that they are? What qualifies their opinion to be of any importance?

    missed the presser (at work), but here's my take on the post:

    Terry Stotts: wants McCollum to make his threes and defend them.

    CJ McCollum: believes his coach wants him to play at both ends of the court.

    Jason Quick: thinks it means McCollum is asking to be traded.

    yeah, that should about do it.

    Oh God! what could I do? I foamed! I raved! I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder...louder...LOUDER! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!...no, NO! They heard!...they suspected!...they knew! They were making a mockery of my horror!-This I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now...again!...hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER!!!!!!!

    It is.

    people who defend their team blindly get repped a lot. People who dare say a negative word towards the team get bashed and made to feel like they killed a baby or something
