    it may all come down to which team doesn't blow a game they should win. Portland has climbed up the seeding chart in the last week before by not blowing games. Dallas laid an egg tonight

    that said, I don't think there's a lot of difference this year between the 5th seed and the 10th seed, so when two of those teams meet, it's not much of an upset if the 'underdog' wins

    What a time it would be to not have stotts coach. Only part that makes me nervous. Lmao.

    Hopefully Dame and the team can win in spite of stotts. Go blazers!

    Stotts is their coach. If we win, it will be everyone’s success including Stotts.

    I’d say win FOR Stotts. He’s a good man and if winning helps him keep his job, I’m all for it.

    I played a lot of competitive sports, even into my 40's/50's and you do win as a team and lose as a team. Dirty laundry or issues usually are addressed at an opportune time and its usually not during a playoff race. You can tell when a team quits on a coach or a coach quits on a team usually, no more fun and its obvious.

    I’m scared of the Clippers (they will double team Dame and Stotts can’t do anything) I rather play the Nuggets

    You want a good man to lose his job?

    It's nothing personal, just business.

    Fun fact, Blazers have won their last series vs Jazz (1999), Suns (1999), Clippers (2016), and Nuggets (2019).

    It’s not your business. You’re not the owner of the team.

    Still just business. My feelings towards him as a person are different than him as a coach. And I am allowed that.

    It's REALLY easy to understand. Just accept I don't like him as a coach and move on. You'll be okay, it's okay that not everyone likes Terry stotts as a coach. Itll be okay. I promise.

    Go blazers!
