    Every shot minus the baseline drive on Nik have been shots you absolutely live with.

    Sometimes it just doesn't matter...

    LMAO. I promise you Stotts doesn't make adjustments in the 2nd Half. Watch.

    He also wasn't a scorer, so he wouldn't have helped our 42 first half points.

    Yeah. I can't remember the last time CJ's +/- has been consistently this bad. Something is off.

    Probably second-guessing his shots because he knows he needs to more more unselfish. He's been hesitating and passing on wide open 15 footers...

    I just want to see some team effort.
    Outside of Lillard & Harkless. No one was helping do the little things.
    That last possession was a perfect example of that.
    Nurk dealing with Whiteside and Lillard was the only one coming back into help rebound.
    If you team rebound, Wade doesn't get that shot off.

    Stotts is just set in his ways and consistently over his coaching time here, has benched guys when they are the hottest player on the court. He is the exact opposite of someone like Chuck Daly who would ride a hot player until they burned themselves out....and made the opponent suffer.

    It's like Stotts wants to give the other team a break.

    Coaching. You can't tell me that 1 minute into the 2nd half playing that bad isn't on Stotts.

    Idk. You might be right that he's a better defender, but the rest sounds like a stretch.

    It's like, we had all training camp to correct bad habits... The first couple of games and that Orlando game, it showed. That WAS game and this game, we've reverted back to our old ways... Problem is, it seems like Stotts can't see the issue during the course of the game, and needs a whole off-season to understand the issues that have plagued us throughout the past few seasons.

    Really going out on a limb there. :cheers: Stotts will only make an adjustment if his 3x5 card that he had made before the game tells him to.
