    The fact that you could make an argument for any of the three yet he still sees 0 minutes....lol.

    And I bet he doesn’t play Wednesday either. Thanks for playing Wade see you next year.

    All I care about is the long term. It comes from years of managing (career in accounting). You notice that on this board, I argue with the guys who run the board, not the peanuts.

    When you're asking Al-Farouq Aminu and Evan Turner to keep chucking 3s, you effectively are making the team shoot 20 some %. Get higher % shots by attacking the rim with a team lacking rim protection. Jokic and Plumlee are SOFT.

    Baldwin has skills but he's not the guy who got us to the playoffs....his two great games were losses...Bazz has won us more games...Stotts will reward his role players who've put in the time....CJ and Crabbe rode the pine for 2 seasons...Baldwin just got out of the G league

    Yes. Just like Nate McMillan was so great. Wait, no he wasn't. He just had Brandon Roy. And this coach has Damian Lillard. We are winning in spite of Terry Stotts. He's not the right coach for this team going forward. He's horrible.

    I’d kind of like to think that maybe they’re actually keeping Baldwin under wraps as a playoff “surprise”. Hard to game for a guy you haven’t seen play much. At least I’d like to believe that......

    Aminu's arms are so long it must be tough to develop a compact shooting motion . . .

    Ah yes, the Nate McMillan philosophy of coaching: you gotta hit your shots. Never mind that there are high percentage shots and low percentage shots, and it's a coach's job to get his team high percentage shots.

    Houston doesn’t even need to troll us; we attack ourselves way more readily.
