    In 1 minute? That is actually heroically efficient. Which guarantees Stotts won't play him more minutes.

    Unfortunately, it was in 5 minutes where we got outscored by 10.

    don't forget they also have JM and JW besides JJJ and JV

    of course the Blazers can counter with CJ, DJJ, JN and RHJ

    Put a fork in this team they are done. So disappointing seeing this kind of effort going down to fight for the playoffs.

    Remember a month ago when the experts were saying the MVP was Dame’s to lose? He did.

    Travis at the end of the 4th goes "either way, Terry is gonna use a timeout here."

    Terry proceeds to Terry.

    Travis: "o..oh. okay, he's not."

    Worst coach we have ever had.

    Yeah, but how do you not go for it on 4th? I'm still scratching my head on this one.

    Why not? It was predicted. This entire nose dive has been predicted. The team had a cupcake first half of the season in terms of schedule and now we're in the middle of the worst stretch and we're showing our true colors.

    You think not having a backup PG if why we are so mediocre?

    Plenty to blame Neil about and i'm OK with a full teardown including firing him, but he's not the core problem with this team this season. That's is 100% coaching.

    IMO, the roster is average as compared to other teams in the league. Why were expectations so high? We though Nurk would be back and the two new forwards in the starting line up would put us over the top? One's playing out of positiona and the other is a bench player. This team simply doesn't have the players needed to contend but we certainly should be a playoff team.

    how did you arrive at that interpretation of what I said?

    I was responding to your assertion that Melton wasn't good enough to be in Portland's 9 man rotation. That's loopy. Melton is better than Simons, Melo, Little, & Jones. He's even the type of player that Stotts likes to play, like Napier and Curry

    who hired Stotts and has kept giving him contract extensions? Who keeps trying to fix the Blazers by bringing in different role players? Who was it that locked Portland into major struggles with the luxury tax for the last 5 years? Who was it that committed Portland into being the "guardians of Melo's legacy"...that's his own fucking words by the way

    in no way is that a defense of Stotts, but saying that 100% of Portland's problem are Stotts makes no sense at all to me

    I think Dame & CJ were also proponents of bringing Melo on board.

    Probably not just wanted I was pointing out the star player on not seeing eye to eye with coaches the way his doing things. Dame still loves him but it's time to move on soon or later.
