    This is a key distinction. And Jackson was shady as f with the how he did things.

    If you're worried you might hire a Mike Schuler, then maybe you're not cut out for the job. The team BADLY needs a fresh pair of eyes.

    Players thought he was a hypocrite, no respect for him.

    This is not a surprise. You either fire him or extend him. You can't have a lame duck coach next season. Who is out there to replace him? There are only a handful of guys for sure better, and they are not available. You could take a flyer on an assistant, but that is just a flyer.

    I'm more concerned about finding a pair of forwards with good enough eyesight to actually hit a basket and take some pressure off of Dame and CJ.

    Stotts is far from perfect, but he's very good. Just like any good coach, he'd be even better if he had a stronger roster to work with.

    I talked shit about stotts after game one for not adjusting but there were adjustments in game two and I’m sure that wasn’t the first time Curry has faced a trap and draymond was key in picking it apart, so really that series just came down to losing to the better team. I’m fine with Stotts staying.

    I am not happy but i hope he had to agree to bring in a new coach or change his offense or something as part of the deal cause if he does not evolve this offense no matter who is on this team the Blazers will be a 1st or 2nd round team at best but i hope i am wrong.

    Because I live in Phoenix and we interview every available coach every year. the candidates arent that strong. would have rather have them go with Vogel, Williams or Lue? I would rahter have Stotts then any of them.

    It's a legit argument - but Olshey is just as bulletproof.

    That's why it's called a COACHING SEARCH. Once upon a time, Steve Kerr had zero head coaching experience and not the obvious choice. Mike Budenholzer was once an assistant the Hawks "took a flyer" on. Erik Spoelstra had zero head coaching experience. Brad Stevens was the head coach at a mid-major college program with zero NBA head coaching experience...

    Okay, well the helpside rotations sucked im Game 2 and were the reason we lossed, and next season we'll gi back to only runniny that drop scheme and then once we have to play GS again, we'll lose again because Stotts will be hesitant to change and once he does, the team wont have the experience running a different scheme to be able to rotate properly.

    And our pick n roll / handoff / isolation / hero-ball offense will continue to bog down and have disasterous quarters that allows teams to come back from 17 point deficits when they decide to try defensively.

    I didn't know being in the top four without Nurk was mediocre as mediocre gets.

    A stronger roster will just hide his massive deficiencies better. Aside from being a good dude that people like, he does nothing better than the next guy.

    Do you actually have to fire your current coach to look out and see what's available? Are you sure we hadn't done that? Also, Brad Stevens - I didn't see him coaching in the Conference Finals - but Terry Stotts was.....

    How can you even fire a coach that just exceeded expectations and took us to the WCF?

    Phoenix is known to be the most dysfunctional and cheap front office in the NBA. Robert Sarver is killing the franchise.
