    The only coach I expect to be available who is as good as Stotts is David Fizdale and I don’t necessarily think he’s a great fit for this roster.

    Are you making fun of my senior citizen status? j/k

    Yep, I'm crazy, crazy about my wife.

    As for the song, I remember songs much older than that.

    This is his last chance. If he loses this series, he has to go. Nice guy and good coach, but if Pelicans win the series Allen will have to face the fact that the job simply is not getting done, and let him move on. Shouldn’t have kept him this long. When so many players start making excuses for him, it’s time to go.

    Does his contract expire this year? If so, yes.

    I have not read players defending him. Typically, they refer their losses as a team or individual play as prime reasons.

    Jay Wright appears to prefer the college atmosphere, the beauty of the Philly suburbs and good really good cheese steaks. Once you are a hero in Philly, it's hard to leave.
    If he was a loser, then their diabolical fans/sport writers emerge. He does not have a John Calipari outlook. IMO
    Perhaps Calipari would be another choice? What is you opinion?

    Question is, do we think our team is comfortably better than New Orleans personnel wise, so much that it would be outrageous to lose against them? Somehow I am not so sure.

    I grew up listening to Glenn Miller at the Lake theater during intermissions in Oswego, Oregon. That was post WWII by several years. Yeah, Lake Oswego was once known as Oswego.

    Can you tell me exactly when his first chance was? As opposed to his "Last Chance"?

    Well I think we are on similar level. Davis and Lillard are both superstars but Davis edges it IMO, he's a generational talent. CJ and Holiday are closer than you might think, Holiday has been great this season so far and plays much better defence for sure. After that both rosters have one player who can be either great or average depending on the game (Mirotic v Nurkic) although ours plays on a higher level, and a bunch of mid-tier talent that can have their nights but there's generally not that much between them. We definitely have more depth but S5 are of similar quality.

    They also have the advantage that Rondo and Holiday can guard our best players (Dame and CJ) but we don't really have anybody that can truly guard their superstar.

    It should be close, and it will be close.

    The only question for me is whether tlongII should be fired from this board for starting this thread if the Blazers win this series.

    Those two extra home games where we struggle are that important to you?
