    Guys... Simons is not that good. I’m OK to trade him.

    I just hope we don't run Dame so far into the ground that when everyone is back healthy next year, he blows a knee or something.

    Wait till he starts hitting 37% from three and closer to 90% from the line. Good chance he’ll become that best offensive player ever.

    It look like we was running Verizon of 2-3 defense if was properly run u shouldn't get corner 3 and and they shouldn't be able drive through zone with layins. Yes rebound sometimes can be a problem.

    Even score from midrange. Our paint scoring, and their three point shooting cancel each other out (almost). Their superior free throw shooting, and greater number of free throw attempts give them the win.

    Stotts only knows strengths if its on his index card. Otherwise hes about as good as any poster on this board at coaching.

    I'd love to watch people on here get a chance to coach an NBA team; as long as it's not Portland.

    This game seems to me like a classic case of the refs seeing one team get out to an early large lead, try to "manage" the game to get a close contest (because no-one likes a blowout on national TV), but they take it too far, and the managed team gets thrown so far out of their rhythm, that they can't get back into it.

    do you understand that when you argue with somebody about coaching schemes, you're being just as much a wannabe coach as who you're arguing with?

    That’s the type of player that you need in the nba to win a championship

    I would be the worst NBA coach in league, by far, not even close. If I've ever said anything implying I know more about NBA coaching than the NBA coaches, I didn't mean to.

    Typically my intention is to offer a counter to why the professional might be doing something when someone thinks it's so easy anyone off the street could win 50 games. My execution is not always perfect.

    Seems like every time we play Dallas someone from the Blazers gets hurt. Does Rick Carlisle or Cuban doing some black magic on the side?

    He hedged at times, and he hedged the first game this season and did so perfecttly! Have you ever hedged a screen before? I hear all these people talking about how Stotts doesnt have the "personel" to hedge but it seems lile they dont really understand what goes into hedging screens.

    Hey, don't take it out on us because you got fooled into thinking a 19 year old out of high school (not top euro leagues) wouldnt have a learning curve.

    Face it, you got fooled. Accept it. Not our fault you aren't thinking for yourself.
