Number three - Melo Number four - Damian Number five - Anfernee Number six - Trents overreated defense Number seven (though really is #1) - Stotts "defensive scheme" sucks major ass sweat.
I went with the two that could most easily be remedied. Dame and Melo aren't going anywhere. And apparently neither is Stotts.
I think Stotts should go after this season. Yeah he doesn't have much to work with on defense but he can't put together something that at least makes us mediocre on D. I don't think we need a guy like Tom Thibodeau but someone that at least has some creative ideas. Any offensive wizardry or game management that he gives to the team should be fine carried over in Dame's hands. As long as you get a coach that's willing to let Dame do his thing and not try to rein him in.
Stotts should have gone after the Pels embarrassed us. There was zero reason to keep him after that. We had Dame. We had CJ. We had Nurk. We got spanked. That was the time to get off the Terry Stotts train.
Are you trying to be funny, or do you really not get it? He's spending an enormous amount of energy trying to buoy up one of the worst defenses in the history of the NBA. That energy expenditure has a significant cost.
another thought about the defense: if Portland had a top-5 pace; if their offense sped the game up...that would at least mitigate, to some degree, their defensive ranking. But they are 20th in pace
It would be an improvement to the teams defense done to a magnitude not seen since man first learned to cultivate fire.
Guys I can guarantee you Stotts doesn’t make till next season. Just be patient. This is his last year. Blazers won’t do shit in the playoffs and then that’s when he’ll be gone. Just watch
Let's put it in terms you can understand... (new response for you and Nate....LOL) ....there...that's how you you do it eh? Paragraphs are just so much reading! I deleted that long post....it's wasted on people who want to engage me in 3rd person...
You're not understanding what he's saying. You're talking about Dame making up for our shit defense with his offense. Wiz is saying that means Dame is going to be exhausted by the playoffs. You then said something that I honestly couldn't decipher because of the lack of punctuation. Wiz talked about Dame needing to buoy our shit offense. You started talking about Dame buoying our defense and a bunch of other stuff that wasn't relevant to what you guys are talking about.
Are we really still last in defense? Holy hell for fucks sake. Will someone please FIX SOMETHING?????
Oh we're doing impressions? Ok.... here is my Riverman impression. LOL.... does that mean Learn only Lebanese? This one time I was in a book store and I saw a book about Lebanese recipes. It reminded me of this time I was walking through downtown Portland and there was a Lebanese restaurant with a sign out front that said kids eat free. Dame just had twins. I'm sure he's tired right now because of his twins. The Morris brothers are twins. They also play in the NBA with Dame. Twins remind me Twix candy bars. Twix is two and Dame like's to shoot threes though. For those reasons Terry Stotts should stay the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.
To wax poetic you need an intro. verse, verse, chorus, bridge, verse chorus and ending....context is the key..learn the riverman and then post...LOL is my fake gamers language...I never post that but now..I'm going to use that shit!
