    They can play occasional defense but apparently we can't.

    Blazers will probably, "turn it on" at some point and take over, nothing like playing with it before you eat it I guess.

    You can't pl as blame the coach on every bone head mistake this team makes. This players get pay millions dollars to play baseball and the players fault if they can't come out focus and there fault but if they handle pressure. It not all the coach these players needs to figure out to adjust how there getting play.

    Stotts' teams always get killed by pressure, no matter who the opponent is.

    Its pathetic, really.

    Our rim protection almost always blows when Nurk is out. Somebody needs to say that.

    There is no consequence for half-assing it on defense with Stotts as the coach.

    Discipline comes from the top down. Stotts doesn't hold Dame or CJ accountable so no one else feels like they have to stay in line.

    I bet Zach will be a KG level asshole in 3-4 years if he turns into the player most of us think/hope he will be.


    And it will make me happy.

    I'd rather have Meyers in there.

    and why is Nik in street clothes?

    Is there something going on?

    When the team is NEVER prepared to handle pressure defense when its obviously our achilles heel, then yes, I can blame Stotts. Almost all his sets break down against pressure defense. It turns into isolation BS.

    He won't. He can't even play well against Phoenix. I don't know what the hell people see in this guy.
