    Stotts doesn't "Trust" them.

    I think that's my reason to watch, to see if Moda turns Philly if this slop keeps up.

    Blazers need to play man to man defense with help as needed...this zone bullshit is not effective in the least, and in fact hampers the Blazers. You can't play zone with a center who never comes outside the paint.

    After tonight, we'll be 5 games behind Memphis with 17 games to go.

    This is really shitty to think about but winning Game 7 in Denver was the worst thing that happened to this team. The grittiness and edge is gone. They have nothing they feel like they need to prove anymore.

    Instead of trying to show that they were going to to take the next step they all talked about championships like they had arrived and already won one.

    For an offensive genius, this teams offense is boring and predictable.

    But it's still light years ahead of it's defense.

    I would trade cj to anyone for nothing. He makes us too soft.

    I'm disgusted. Mostly in STotts for not seeing what the hell is going on and not giving a shit for the fans who have to watch.

    I would agree, but Dame being a Super Star and the leader of this team needs to flash & energize his will not just by scoring or taking over but also instilling inspiration with his players, but like Stotts Im not sure Dame has that in him.

    I'm thinking about that "rap war" between Dame and Shaq and how Shaq dissed him for never gonna win anything but player of the week, or something like that...."you'll never be curry.."....whatever...
    Just a total bed wetting since Denver, you're right.

    What returning players from Game 7 do you think have less grit? CJ?

    As much fun as that playoff run was last year, in the back of my mind was how it would affect this franchise in the future with the inevitable Stotts and CJ's extensions.

    Stotts is such a soft pushover. If he had any balls he would have tried to send a clear message to the team after last night's travesty and instead we're getting this.

    No point in Stotts hurting any of his players feelings, like Melo for example.

    How much better did a guy like LMA get after having a coach like Pop who gave him regular ass-chewings?
