    Has a coach ever been fired after 1 game?

    If this gets to 30 I’m turning it off. That’s my personal limit.

    I don’t care about the pick. I just want the core broken.

    Terry Stotts has no idea how to coach his team to defend the most BASIC play in basketball. Offensively, it's a bunch of iso-ball and one-pass offense. This shit is the shit I've been seeing for years and people chalked up to personnel last year. It's not a personnel issue.

    4th straight blowout. Worst Blazer basketball I’ve seen in decades. This is coaching and lack of innovation.

    If our guards can’t keep their man in front of them, they’ll score 200 points. And guys like Nurk and Enes etc look bad because they have to constantly help. Perimeter defense has to be better.

    Nurk looks bored, disconnected, slow and outta shape with zero heart. im actually kinda happy rudy just dunked on his ass.

    Giles, the guy that went for the throat in pre-season - 0 minutes.

    Here's my pitch to NBA coaches...

    Portland... Where you'll have more job security than a dictator in Saudi Arabia.

    Nate McMillan.
    Terry Stotts.
    Your name here.
