The Blazers had a tough few games in the series, but finally came back and dominated for a game 4 win, to tie the series 2-2. They head back to Denver for game 5 on Tuesday. The Bucks have already eliminated the Heat. Other teams are barely hanging on. It's been an interesting 1st rnd. If you would like to submit a question or comment regarding the Blazers or NBA for tonights (May 30th) episode of Around the NBA with Chris and Eric you can do so by replying here and we will answer/read it on the podcast. Don't be shy.
With the Heat getting swept, if Spoelstra gets fired, and the blazers fire Stotts, he would be at the very top of my list for who I would want. What are your thoughts on Spoelstra being the coach for the blazers.
okay, ill participate with a few questions and it would be ideal if you could adress them all, but if not, one or two is still okay - im still in disbelief that terry stotts actually made adjustments (good ones may i add) for the game 4, so what do you think, will he keep on making adjustments where and when needed, or will he regress to the mean (i think i read somewhere that he said "were gonna need kanter" and that frightens me lol) - do you think dame should keep taking 20+ shots per game (game 1 (25), game 2 (24) and game 3 (31), game 4 he took only 10 shots), or the blazers should involve more nurk & powell, meaning playing more pnr with nurk and using him down low and let powell drive to the basket more and shooting more mid range jumpers from dame, cj mccollum & powell and therefore score on more levels, instead of shooting a lot of threes, which can get you in trouble if theyre not falling - do you think derrick jones jr is unplayable, cause playing with 8 man rotation says stotts doesnt trust him (although he was using him terribly, standing in the corner shooting threes, instead of cutting to the basket and getting some easy buckets, thats what he should be good at, i think he could do what layman did back in the day, cut to the basket, fly high and dunk the ball) and is he really a liability defensively - do you think blazers should use nurk more as a playmaker, there are some games when we do and then there are some games when we dont, theres no consistency and quite frankly, i dont understand it
