    WHY THE FUCK WOULD STOTTS PLAY DAME 40 MINUTES IN SAN ANTONIO IF HE COULD BARELY MOVE???????????????????

    Seriously defend this one if you're a Stotts supporter! The coach is running our best player into the ground.

    it’s not even that simple. Stotts is getting paid no matter what for the next however many years. He’s set. So there’s really no explanation beyond him being a dumbass.

    I’m telling you, why not rest CJ and Melo as well and let the kids play. We are not beating the Bucks anyways so why not rest and comeback strong and beat the Cavs and the Bulls.

    It was Dame's choice....he wanted to play through it. Stotts has addressed this....nice try though..15 games into a season is hardly running a player into the ground but Dame has taken two games off now....thanks Terry! Dame also said not long ago that he felt great....many, many players are injured early this season...I don't blame coaching on that...it just comes with the territory in pro sports

    Because that's not how it works. Unless there's a legitimate reason not to play them, they should play. It's pretty simple.

    Lets be honest, the only reason watching Blazers games right now is Anfernees and Nassirs Development

    Nice try? Most athletes who are competitors are going to say they're fine and want to play. It's up to the coaching staff to not burn their players out.

    He even said as much. So yeah.
    Saying your back is stiff 4 days later doesn't fall on the coach.

    KJ, the public found out about it later but Stotts knew before the game and then played him 40 minutes.

    Then two nights later with the team down over 20 points in Houston in the 4th quarter and a back to back game in New Orleans the next night he put Dame back in the game. It's reckless.
