    Good point. Not sure Pops could get more out of what the Blazers have?

    I actually read that and hurried to get this started before anyone else did. Just because!

    Lillard likes playing for Stotts, this is Lillard's team. The players aren't turning on Stotts unless Lillard tells them to.

    I agree. I see absolutely no evidence of the players turning on Stotts.

    Steve would not be bad. Isn't he working for Stotts right now?

    I like Stotts. These days the personnel is more important than the coach. Is Tyronn Lue a championship caliber coach? Do people consider Thibbs a high caliber coach? The Wolves are 2-3 after acquiring 2 more All-Stars to go with their young studs. I think a coach can only do so much.

    Politely ask Nurk to give it back?

    One thing i have always wished for was that Stotts was a little more willing to get T'd up. Kind of wish he was a bit more vocal at times.

    The list of players who have done better under Stotts is impressive.

    1. Batum - Just look at the difference from when he played for Nate and then Stotts.

    2. Lopez- Played his best under Stotts.

    3. Plums - Played his best under Stotts.

    4. Nurk - Played his best under Stotts.

    5. Turner - Insufficient data. Looking better this season.

    6. LMA - Played his best under Stotts.

    Okay. Just being Devils advocate here but in all of those cases the player was a year or so older and they improved physically also. Plums went to a starting position. Lopez just seemed to get better> Nurk also went to starting. Turner has IMO gotten better but i agree. Not enough data.

    Thibs is soooo bad fit with MIN... defensive coach with team that cant play defense to save their life

    unless they bring players who can play defense, they should let him go and find someone who can run that offense, potential is there... KAT, Wiggins and Butler are too good offensive players to get wasted by Thibs
