    Stotts better thank his lucky stars. He still needs to get his shit together. Blazers got to play better than this to keep winning.

    Gotta love TNT...replaying the last shot and trying to excuse Kuzma's miss instead of congratulating the Blazers.

    On that last play, CJ was standing in the middle of of no where. 3 point lead with .7 left, all you have to do is defend the 3pt line. I know we won yadda yadda, but team is still making all the same mistakes that have been costing them close games.

    Interesting that all of our starters except Dame had a negative +/- while all the bench players were in the positive. Meanwhile our starters had the bulk of our points.

    Don't think Terry makes it too long. He's slipping. I want someone new. And I've supported him long enough

    That process should have already started. I wonder if Vanterpool is ready. He seems to be the guy who actually coaches Dame when he makes mistakes.

    In the post game presser, someone asked Terry a question, it wasn't audible, but Terry puts his head down on the table, like he's seriously annoyed then walks out.

    I swear if I see CJ in on defense on last possessions again..

    He was completely lost on that final play. That after KCP teabagged him the previous possession.

    Everyone knows that's the only play that is called in this situation.

    Luckily tonight Dame hit the shot. It's still terrible shot selection and play calling

    Yeah, somebody told him that S2 guy, Sinobas, doesn’t like him. He’s crushed.

    I used to like him. I've been a Stotts defender in prior years, but I think he needs to go now.

    I love Shaq talking about Ball's shot being okay. Like he every made a shot outside of 8' that wasn't a FT.

    At least Nurk has strung together 2 pretty good games. We're still not seeing the passing from him in the post. Blazers should run more post plays through him.
