    This is a game that we really could have used Wes, especially his heart and hustle

    Poor coaching tonight. I'm a big Stotts fan, but he let his starters rest for far too long to open the fourth. Any couch-surfing coach could see what was brewing from his 120' screen.

    If the Blazers lose, this one is on Stotts and his inability to make adjustments on the defensive end. Yes, the Blazers intentionally allow their opponents to shoot mid-range jumpers, but they need to adapt if that's the strong suit of their opponent, like it is tonight against Chris Paul and the Clippers. If this is their first round opponent, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sweep for the Clips. Stotts just hasn't shown an ability to make adjustments in-game (another example was in the Dallas game when Dame kept getting switched into Dirk time and again). Need a defensive minded specialist as an assistant.

    One of the good things about the hacking game is that it stops any kind of rhythm the Clippers were having offensively.

    I don't think this collapse happens with Wes.

    Beating a playoff team and getting a 5 game win streak is not pathetic or sad.

    Still wondering if we will ever learn how to defend a simple pick and roll. Any competent PG consistently tears us apart.

    Still, it's HCP's fault.

    We've had plenty of bad games with Wes.
