Stotts postgame: Clueless. Blazers start playoffs on Sunday.

I listened to the post game between Stotts and Wheels. Stotts was completely out of it. He said lots of people will get to play on Wednesday because the game doesn't mean anything. Wheeler ever so gently let him know that it could mean something and Stotts said "if Houston loses to Minnesota." But Houston doesn't play Minnesota. They play San Antonio. A little disappointing that our coach doesn't know what the fuck is going on but I guess it's because he was solely concerned with the game against GS and put everything else out of his head. Not sure if it's true, but he also said we start the playoffs on Sunday. That's great if true. 3 full days to rest and prepare. Of course, it's the same for Houston but I'm glad we'll go in at our best.

 

It's crazy to imagine a coach has been paying attention to his team, and not another coaches team right?

You know why we know exactly who Houston plays is? Because we didn't have to spend nights drawing up offensive and defensive schemes to lock down the 5 seed vs the Warriors.

I think stotts knows exactly what is going on. Evidence in the fact we just won arguably the biggest momentum game in the entire nba season(every team).

 

That's what I said. That it was probably because all he was thinking about is GS.

 

Fire Stotts.

 

Nobody actually knows when our first game is until late Wed night. And can we at least give some props to the coach for the big W and not crack just for the sake of cracking.

 

Maybe it was that Lamar odom talk that got this thread going. That guy cracks when ever he has the opportunity.

 

Stotts ain't an idiot, if he has a chance at homecourt. He will make a run at it on the final game.

 

He's clearly playing Phil Jackson style mind games

It must be playoff time!

 

I'm sure people will fill him in but in the interview, he was clueless, had no idea what he was talking about. But as it was said, it was probably because he was immersed in the GS win. I was shocked though. I thought the coach would know what was going on.

 

Stotts sounded like he knew. Sunday.

 

I like a myopic coach. He's focused on our business, not the business of others.

 

I can appreciate why that would cause concern, but I'll give him a pass because I know he had just gotten off an emotional rollercoaster, and his brain probably felt like it had just gone through the wringer. His focus has always been on the next game, not the game after next...

 

I think clueless is a stretch for a 53 win playoff bound coach. He was gassed at the end of one of the best games of the season. I blame fatigue. One game at a time is his mantra.

 

That's a crack err jack idea!

 

He was probably referring to the Rockets-New Orleans game, NOT the San Antonio game. He probably was thinking about a mid-tier Western Conference team, which is precisely what Minnesota and New Orleans are. So, it's really not that big of deal.

 

I'm happy to help!

 

Stotts knows what's up. He's all over twitter. He follows everybody.
