Time for Stotts to go? No chance if you ask the Trail Blazers players

I like the idea of Dame/CJ/Stotts like Malone/Stockton/Sloan playing their whole career with the same coach.

 

Good to hear...he certainly looks relieved these days...I like Stotts

 

if its "no chance", then start playing better you fuckheads

 

So two things

1. You don't want to win a title?

2. Dame, CJ and Stotts are HOFers?

 

Players own fault. Play better

 

Malone didn't play his whole career in Utah though...

 

The team has playing better ball last few games. I hope a run is coming with this tough schedule. It's time to step up and for Dame to lead us in this games.

 

I like Stotts as a person. As a coach, I think he's just OK.

He gives his players a lot of freedom - too much IMO.

I really wish he'd focus more on the basics & details. Not just getting 'good' at something, but perfecting it with exactness.

Focus on what's a good shot vs bad shot (I'm sure I don't agree with him here), how to make an entry pass, making a pass into a teammates shooting pocket instead of their feet....

My issue with Stotts is I don't see him demand the exactness & perfection of the 'little things'.

 

Stotts isn’t great but the roster is bad enough, and the players response could be bad enough, that it’s not worth firing him until he can show what he could do with the right guys. Closest the roster was to that we were a 50-55 win team.

Makes some changes to the roster then re-analyze.

 

May I ask why? Just to say they did it, or because you think those 3 can get us a championship?

 

why not? nobody thought Sheed would win a ring with those rag tag Pistons...not a star on the team in most fans views at the time...we're like a live volcano that hasn't erupted in several hundred years....anytime now!

 

I don't think this season is a good season to hang championship hopes on....couple more though....who knows?

 

So the way they have been playing is to save their coaches job?
Jesus, it's worse than I thought.

Par for the course under Lillard leadership - All hot air; the play of the players speaks for itself.

 

Players don't know shit.

They like a coach that doesn't step on their egos.

If Pop was here they'd have a different perspective.

 

I dunno. Maybe I’m old school, but we have one of the youngest rosters in the league. We’ll never draw that star. Patience and development as a team will likely be worth more than the individual parts, like the late-80’s and early-90’s teams. We’re young. Let it grow together.

 

I think in another 5 years we'll still have the youngest team together. It will be Neil's go to excuse whenever people bring up the team's record. Around the league it will become like a in-joke. Just keep bringing in those former first round draft picks.
