This deserves its own thread - how did this happen?

This is where Nurk should've gotten a few plays ran through him on the block.

Kanter would be a possible answer here just to get a few quick points to end the drought and help swing the momentum.

Aminu/Harkless as the starting forwards don't help much either. Both are absolute liabilities on the offensive end. This, at the very least, is 100% on Olshey.

Stotts should be fired, thought he could win by keeping the game going rather than call a timeout, even with all the momentum on the Mavericks side. What a terrible coach. The worst Portland has had.

We pulled a similar stunt against the spurs but we won. Team sucks and should have fired stotts and traded CJ after that last playoff performance. You are getting the same team from the past few years.

Agreed, but these are fixable mistakes

When did you want him to call a time out? Mavs called one at 6:40 and then Terry called one at 5:10.

I mostly like Terry as a coach, but his complete refusal to call a timeout at the end of games to set up a play infuriates me. Phil Jackson could do that, but he had Kobe and Shaq. Dame and CJ ain't that.

It's coaching malpractice.

He has asked for help for years and Olshey had sat on his thumb.

Nonsense. Olshey got him enough talent to beat the Mavericks. It's on Stotts to get the W. Not Olshey. We have as much talent as most teams, if not more. Nobody put a gun to Stotts' head to start Harkless and Aminu, contracts be damned. Hood and Layman should be getting the majority of the PT.

What big moves has Olshey made to Dame's request?

Explain to me how Layman outplayed Harkless tonight? Yeah he had 4 more points, but fewer boards, steals, blocks. Layman did have more assists, but also had more turnovers. What did Jake do that was so much better then Moe? Moe playes good defense, Jake does not.

Not only that, but it also would've saved us time bringing the ball up where we could've called time to advance and leave enough time for a putback or at worst, we could foul them.
 
Refs are always fucking up games. They are one reason why I've soured on sports.
 
One thing is they need to split Dame and CJ apart more likely trade CJ in the off season. Plus I am not a big fan of CJ. We need a new coach will coach the game how the flow going in the game. Like tonight CJ had bad shooting night and due he not very in any other category then you go with someone else. Hell you just traded for a guy that can play the 2 that is 6'8" that can exploit other 2 guard in low posts. Stotts think the only can pull a game is by Dame and CJ. The problem is both those players agrees with him.

Yeah. I can't see any point where Dame doesn't demand major changes after this season. Even if we get a decent team to play in the first round, most coaches know how to disrupt Terry's flow offense and he never adjusts. Somebody will come up will be able to take advantage of mismatches Terry can't counter. It's sad because the bench is actually coming together. But you can always count the team to go on dry spell at some point against a top opponent and we just fall apart.
