Why does Stotts refuse to coach and stress defense?

120 points to the TWolves?!?!? 116 to the Cavs? The Blazers can win all the games they want this season it wont matter come playoff time. I turned off the Wolves game in the first quarter because I was getting so mad I thought I was gonna punch something. Layup after layup after layup. It was the most disgusting defense I have ever seen an NBA team play. I have never seen anything like that. No way this team even wins a playoff game at this rate. They will get swept. Stotts better find and hire a coach who actually can teach this team to play NBA defense because they're screwed at this rate.

 

Queue all the negative nancy threads after a 3-1 road trip where we played 3 playoff teams in 5 nights, while destroying the non-playoff team

 

If you call negative speaking the truth then fine I'm negative. If they don't do something about this pathetic defense they will get swept.

Not a good start rook. Ya, I said it.

 

Maybe Monte Kiffin will be available soon.

 

how did Lillard hit that three quarter shot at the end of the game?

 

This post really really hurts

 

At the end of a 4-game-in-5-night road trip in frickin' Minnesota middle of December. A back to back game after a clutch win in Cleveland. Every team brings their A game to beat the #1, yet you turn off the game after the 1st qtr? You must be new to Blazer games, they've always been a 2nd half team. Better to turn on the game in the 3rd or maybe check out another team because Stotts is a great coach. Coaches get tired on the road too, just sayin' and we shot 15% from 3 most of the night, that's not going to help..tired legs=bricks and being a step slow getting back on defense.

 

Lane?

 

You might be reading that backwards then. I don't think the coach is the issue, and he's the worst defensive coach in all of sports I could think of.

 

Blah blah blah 120 points tonight, 116 yesterday, 109 game before that, ALL VS LOSING TEAMS. There defense is terrible and will prevent them from winning any playoff games. Layup drill all night, almost every night. Fix it now or suffer in April.

 

The sky is falling!!!!!

 

Blah blah blah still in first place.

 

lol. At least you watch more than an analyst.

It's amazing how someone can have a full scouting report in a 12 minute quarter.

 

Oh. and 22-5. And they play and watch all 4 quarters, unlike some people.

 

I'm a big Cowboys fan so just reading Kiffins name makes me cringe. Cowboys will have the wost NFL D ever under him.

 

We may not like the message but don't shoot the messenger. There is nothing in that statement that wasn't true except now the Wolves are at .500. Defense like that just historically doesn't contend for a title.
