    Stotts is vastly overrated by national media.

    Finally a member of the media who sees through the facade of Terry Stotts. Thank you Chris Broussard for telling it like it is!

    He's been our defensive coordinator this year...we were 27th in defense....David Vanterpoole had us in top 10 on defense.....that tells me Nate isn't turning the defense around here. Nate McMillan would be a better defensive coordinator in my view

    Van Gundy is dumb. The blazers aren’t a number 3 offense because of Stotts, it’s because of Damian. Lillard had one of the greatest offensive season in recent memory. He led the offense night in and night out with no adjustments made from Stotts. Stotts literally doesn’t do anything. He let the offense play to the strength of Damian, this is why Damian seemingly is always passed out past the first round of the playoff

    Chris Broussard is also anti-gay people. So he can go fuck himself.

    Well, according to some people here, we had a better playoffs this year than last year. We weren't swept out of the playoffs so for some reason, that makes us better I hear. When you win a series, it doesn't count.

    If that were true, how did we score a playoff high 122 points in tonight's game WITHOUT Dame?

    Shit defense: Stotts. Great offense: Not Stotts. I’m not opinionated either way just seems inconsistent.

    .... because the Lakers only really cared the last 5 minutes of the game. It was never in doubt.

    I didn't see that. They took the whole game very seriously. We just hit a high percentage from the three point line to keep us in it but LeBron and AD were so good (like all time great good) all game long and we couldn't keep up at the end. It wasn't like they sucked and then flipped a switch.

    I looked at what happened the last 5 minutes and they cranked up their defense, I don't think CJ hit a bucket, and it was just a different type of game. I'm not taking away from the scrappiness the blazers showed, but the Lakers effort was much much different when it came actual closing time.

    A healthy team next season that either misses the playoffs or gets swept out of the first round... I just don't think it happens. Also when Dame retires or if Jodie, the Vulcans etc. decide to make wholesale changes like firing Olshey, Terry and demanding big roster moves.

    Definition of insanity : Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

    As per above, CJ scored 36 points.....had a very nice night.

    ....and the the Lakers decided to close out the game. CJ didn't score in for the last 8 minutes. In the 4th quarter when it is game time, closing time, clutch time.....the Lakers locked it down and all of that scoring outburst earlier was laid inconsequential.

    Nice to see CJ have a great game, but at CJ's last bucket, it was a 3-point game. 6 minutes later, it was a 15 point Laker lead.

    Not even close. Have multiple times commended CJ on a great game. But at the same time, he did not score in the last 8 minutes of the game. I wasn't questioning his legacy, wasn't saying how lucky he got, or anything like that.

    I get it, it sucks to lose, but I want to learn from the reality and hopefully not have the same thing happen again. (...and again....and again....and....you get the idea.)
