Should Stotts be fired if the Blazers lose the series?

You should be fired for not putting a poll in this thread.

 

#BAM!

 

Who cares? Six years is long enough to build a championship team. If Stotts can’t do it, let’s try to get someone who can. If that guy doesn’t work out, big deal. It wasn’t working out with Stotts, anyway.

 

What is a poll?

 

And yes Stotts should be fired, he is a solid Development Coach, but that's it. Terrible ingame Adjustments and Bad rotations, and has no authority, Blazers also dead last in Assists per Game

 

thing you can vote on at the top of the thread (like Darkwebs makes for every game thread)

 

Agree, but if Jimmy Butler had been healthy all season I'm sure the Timberwolves would have home court and that would have changed everything.

 

Thank you

 

Nah. I think he fucked up at the end of game 1, but that doesn't erase what he's accomplished the last several years - consistently getting to the playoffs even with an almost complete roster overhaul. Creating a thread like this after just one game in which the players couldn't hit shots they normally do seems a tad premature.

 

There are 26 teams that won't make it past the 2nd. round. Maybe 26 teams should fire their coach every year.

 

Now, you're talking turkey. I think we, collectively, know a hell of a lot more about basketball than an NBA coach.

Put me in coach.

I like Stotts here....don't want to see him fired.....nobody in the league has predicted how much he's accomplished the last 2 seasons with really one star and a lot of role players....Evan Turner jumped the gun twice on the inbounds pass and by then....it was too late.....we lost game one by 2 frickin' points...it's not like we were blown out...if he wins the next 4 in a row I hope somebody bakes a crow pie for the thread. Firing coaches is a real Sacramento Kings move...

 

1. Stotts should not, and will not be fired.
2. But if he is, how about Becky Hammon?

 

Yes.

Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results.

 

like making the playoffs? I don't think it's insane to make them over and over....the Spurs have and they don't always win out either.

 

No. Not his fault this roster is flawed. This team overachieved, and that's because of Stotts

 

Making the playoffs and getting knocked out by supremely better teams every year is horrible. It's honestly worse than being at the bottom and at least getting a shot at a generational talent.

The Spurs had arguably the best power forward of all time.... and now they don't.... and how far have they gotten? They're in the same damn boat that we're in.

 

Exactly this. Show me a better option and I might consider it.

We have the youngest team in the playoffs and we're a 3 seed... We have time.

Change for the sake of change is not good. Running through coaches every 5 years doesn't win you championships any more often than sticking with the guy you have.

Stotts has built an awesome culture here and is probably in the top 5 for coach of the year. His team made huge defensive strides this season.

This team gets as many or more open looks as anyone. They just need to hit those shots.

 

Honestly, I'm not sure why Paul Allen doesn't make us a destination... Just figure out who the best coach is and pay whatever it takes to get him. $15 mil per year? Why not...

 

no....they are old...we are the youngest roster in the league....they won with Duncan on the bench many, many times....the boat they're in that we're in is coaching stability which I like in a franchise....revolving door coaches doesn't seem to have a great impact on the bottom feeders...we're not a bottom feeder...we lost game one by 2 pts......Duncan has been knocked out of the playoffs....many great players have..it's not a given to dominate maybe the deepest western conference in history.
