    I was a little slow on that one. I thought you were asking which coach would be the most likely to do that, not the coach who already did.

    Oh yes. When he talks the Raptors listen. He doesn't have to be the best player on the court, but hold them together.

    Woohoo go Denver! Maybe the clippers had a better shot of beating the Lakers, but at least it’s not LA vs LA, and maybe the nuggets can do it!

    That’s a little overboard I feel like but I’m with you in the fact that getting Giannis would be huge. I’d rather take Collins out of that trade. If MIL isn’t interested than so be it.

    Body. Of. Work. Any of the guys you mentioned would be stark upgrades to Terry Stotts.

    3 playoff series wins (Rockets ‘14, Clippers ‘16, Nuggets ‘19) without home court advantage. Tell me another coach in the NBA right now that has that on his resume.

    Not really, Clippers had one of the biggest chokes in recent sports history and looked so shook late in the game. After all the shit they talked all year, they brought it on themselves.

    What's more embarrassing is Doc complaining and making excuses after every loss.

    Ironically, CJ didn't want to go back....and went out with 6 less Playoff wins than the team he is trolling. #backfire

    That said, the biggest shit-talker, Pat Bev, was +4 for his 30 minutes, so you can't lay this at his feet. Lou Will was a plus as well, so the pre-Kawhi Clips did their part.

    This all reminds me of something that pisses me off: whenever the Shaq-Kobe Lakers beating the Pippen-Wallace-Sabonis Blazers in 2000 comes up, it's always played as this amazing comeback triumph for LA. What's never mentioned is that the Blazers were DOWN 3-1 IN THAT SERIES! And that's when comebacks from 3-1 NEVER happened. So effectively, the Lakers just managed to avoid an epic collapse.

    Pop is obviously one of the best coaches of all time.

    Rivers with multiple all stars on his roster for many years has yet to reach the Western Conference Finals once. Needed 3 HOF players to get to the finals. He gets to drive a Ferrari against Toyota Camry's and comes up short the vast majority of the time.

    Like Synder as a coach. How is his resume far superior to Stotts? Makes the playoffs 66% of the time, no more than 5 wins in any playoff run.

    I'm not really a fan of Paul George but to actually call him a loser?
    Dude has come back from 6 surgeries and is still a prolific player in this league. Maybe give the guy a little credit?
    They lost a series. They will use this as motivation for next year. You can bet on that.

    Welcome. Glad you are here.
    Try to not take things too literally from a few of the posters here.
    Some just don't really enjoy Blazer success as much as other teams.
