Exactly stotts is gone. You should bann any thread with stotts. It was the darkest hour in history. A decade of pain and suffering with stotts. 9 years i will never get back. I have right to be frustrated with people creating appreciation threads about him its so sickening.
This is the tagline I have at the bottom of every one of my posts. It encapsulates why we beat the Sixers in 77 and why we lost to the Nuggets in 2021.
Then say that. "This thread is frustrating me!" "I don't like Stott's!" But saying some pretty ugly things to people who do like Stott's is not going to fly. I'm going to ask you again nicely, please stop with the personal insults.
So much more to being a coach than most on here seem to grasp. Terry Stotts actually took his players to every arena and pointed out players who's jerseys were in the rafters and explained who they were and what they did for the game. There is some dude saying he was the "Darkest Moment" of the franchises history that obviously doesn't know much about the franchises history.
Great guy. Did lots of things great as a coach, too. A total professional - he never berated his players to the media, and always had their backs. He'd be a Blazer coach for much longer if he just could have gotten his players to player defense anywhere near their capabilities. p.s. Will never forget the Jack Ramsey Suit he wore as a tribute.
I think it was symptomatic of Stotts losing the team. His offense, like Rick Carlisle's, emphasized ball movement and making the extra pass. The incessant iso's at the end of games to me were the players trying to be the hero themselves because they didn't trust their teammates.
Hmmm before we got Dame we had much bad luck with star injuries. But once you got Dame .....Its like you bought lambo or Ferrari but your using the wrong gas on the car and ruining the performance and slowly destroying the car .
We get your opinion, and I don't totally disagree with it... But, why do you have to say it over and over again. Again, we get how you feel about Coach Stotts.
yet we were consistently worst in the league in passes and assists. the guy believed in one thing, but then coached the exact opposite. this narrative that he emphasized ball movement is flat out false.
Cause you have weak cats on here thanking him for the service....the man made of 30$ million and wasted 5 years of Lillard prime. Awwww yea lets thank the man for everything he done for this franchise....disgraceful. Im done here just hope we try to eliminate stotts from vocabulary in near future
