    Totally agree. I do think ultimately it's on ownership to eat the cost but he's gotta sell it and it's his responsibility.

    "dear penthouse,

    this one time while I was on a cruise with my grandmother, I was able to nail a hot female crew member while my grandmother slept. Let me tell you the story..."

    Portland's playoff record under Stotts is playing .357 ball....and you think suddenly the Blazers will play .571 ball?

    what kind of drugs are available on the Good Ship Lollypop?

    I agree... but for a while he was our biggest player off the bench, which is also unacceptable.

    No it's not. I've been through times when the coach lost the team. This absolutely is not one of them.
    It's just the way you are interpreting it.
    Go back to Carlisimo in 97, Shuler the year after he was named COY in 1988, Go watch what happened with Nate McMillian.
    I understand you really want that to be the case (almost have a weird need to have that be the case) but it absolutely in not the case.

    If they don't listen to him, he's either incompetent or he lost the team. It doesn't matter if they like him personally.

    Who said anything about them not listening to him? That was never the point? What was said was when they were not doing it he was yelling at them to do it. There were plenty of times they did do exactly what he was saying to do. Just not well enough or quick enough in my opinion.
    By the way is there giant speakers playing crowd noise in the arena while they are playing or is that like dubbed over the broadcast? I heard they had giant speakers blasting noise into the game area during play? I have no way to verify that though?

    This is what I think. Stotts had ideas for the offense coming into this job. I even think he had offensive ideas after the huge turnover in 2014. Then Dame started winning games on his own and Terry decided to just be a cheerleader for the guys, give them all the ultimate green light, have robotic rotations, make little to no in game adjustments and then disavow the idea of accountability.

    Terry Stotts hasn't lost this team, this team lost Terry Stotts, years ago. I think Stotts seems to be a really likeable guy and if his feet were held to the fire, a good coach. So of course Stotts shouldn't have made it this long with this job and of course he should go but plain and simple it circles back to Neil.

    Me: They're not listening to him

    You: When they were not doing it he was yelling at them to do it.

    That was the conversation yes. The original post was about scheme. Or did you miss that?
