BLAZERS @ BOBCATS - MARCH 22ND, 2014 - SATURDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

erase the game tape on this festering skunk carcass, and beat the heat

 

MVP! MVP!

 

I'm not sure what pissed me off more. The fact you are posting shit like this, or the fact its making me laugh. Quit kissing my sister Han.

 

Second game I've missed all season...well we broke the streak of losing close games eh? Positive, we are closing in on the 8th seed with a matchup against the Spurs and might just avoid the Rockets in the first round! Go Blazers!

 

Pitchforks and torches out in full force tonight, natives seem restless! Stotts is not the problem here folks IMO. Yeah, losing sucks but you lose as a team. Credit the Horncats...they came to play!

 

Why yes he did

 

I notice Nico had the evil triple stat line of 6-6-6 tonight, ooohhhhh......now I understand what happened. The devil made the team do it!

 

The Blazers lost.

 

It's at least half stotts. The guy doesn't give a lick about defense.

 

45-25! Guys say this about Stotts every time we lose a game and yeah, the team is not like the Spurs or Grizzlies defensively, this we know. Stotts wants better transition defense. What he doesn't give a lick about is offensive rebounds because he'd rather get back quickly on defense...he's mentioned this repeatedly. The team is not doing a good job of it collectively and I don't agree with singling out the coach or any one player. This was just a butt kicking and fans expected to win it. As for firing Stotts....that is insanity in my view. I blame this on today being national corn dog day more than anything.

 

The record isn't that impressive anymore. lol.

Aren't we one of the leaders in offensive rebounds? I'm almost sure we are. I know we're #1 in something to do with offensive rebounding.

Stotts is not the guy to lead this team, it's becoming very very clear. If we are one and done this year, he should be gone, IMO. And that's not insane.

 

Well, to each his own....I don't define this season the way you are defining it. I think Stotts is the perfect coach for this team. We are a good offensive rebounding team but Stotts said that's not a priority in his system. I think firing coaches every season or so is insane. Especially coaches who are successful and have good chemistry with the roster. I think fans could possibly defend better as fans...defend the coach and the team. Kicking them when they're down does what exactly? Stotts has been an important part of a championship with a team that folks were dissing leading into the playoffs that year as well. I say give him a break.

 

Since the all star game the Blazers have been the team most people thought they were before the season started. So why do so many people act like they should go undefeated?

 

Exactly and it's also easy to diss the team when our leading scorer and rebounder is out with injury as well as our back up center. We're not the North Korean Olympic squad where if you lose a match they take you out back and get rid of you.

 

Stotts wasn't the head coach there. so much changes just a couple seats down. And we aren't firing a coach every season, but to me, he's worn his welcome. If we keep stotts, it'd have to be on the contingency that he has a defensive coach that has a lot of say.

 

We seemed to do fine without him for awhile, interestingly enough.

 

Yeah, and that's commendable, but the loss tonight isn't the end of the world nor does it spell failure in the post season...that's just negative projection

 

I would have been thrilled with 48 wins and an 8th seed at the beginning of the season..we're 3 games from 48 and we're sitting in 5th right now.
