    You know we played about as bad as we could offensively, didn’t defend screens at all, and the Warriors shot unbelievably well from 3... and this game was within 10 points with 5 minutes to go. We can beat this team.

    Of course. When you are a genius like Stotts you are always right the first time and never need to adapt!

    I'm not convinced we'll do anything differently other than maybe get hot shooting for a game or two.

    That's not it. The Blazers played stupid basketball. From a defensive and offensive standpoint. Not getting back on defense is stupid basketball. Leaving your feet with the ball is stupid basketball. Passing to someone in the lane with multiple defenders between man and ball is stupid basketball.

    The starting lineup needs to change, can’t keep starting off in a hole. Chiefs time as a blazer is done.

    obviously trying to battle double teams, attack, get teammates open... he’s doing what he can, the rest of the rotation needs to hit their open shots.

    well shit.

    somehow we were still in it in the 3rd, but i think GSW just have more options ans when klay n steph are playing well, and dame n cj are meh, it aint gonna be easy.

    kerr is also a far far far better coach than terry

    People expecting Terry to make adjustments in the playoffs have been oblivious

    Lillard Always Always getting doubled and trapped and Steph Curry shooting wide open 3s all game. Coach Scotts needs to get fired for this absolutely disgraceful defensive scheme, my father was a HS basketball coach and he said what scotts did on his defensive scheme out to be shot by firing squad, Scotts NOT ONCE doubles or traps Steph yet Lillard every sequence every play he is doubled and trapped all play offs it gotten so extreme that Evan turner is your playmaker, but hey Coach scotts will make sure and start Aminu and harkless yet again over and over and over again

    In our defense we weren’t as bad as Marc Jackson is as an announcer.
