    Hopefully we're allowed to think Stotts was good and Billups is good!

    Your roster comment is spot on.

    yeesh, the pels subreddit is not kind to CJ right now.

    didn't he almost single-handedly lead them to the playoffs last year? how soon they forget

    Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!

    Blazers 106, Pelicans 95!

    The Blazers beat the Pelicans by a score of 106-95 to move to 4-1 on the road trip (9-3 on the season). Being without Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic, and Shaedon Sharpe didn't hold Portland back, as Jerami Grant scored 27 points, Nassir Little had a season-high 15 points, and the Blazers played lock-down defense in the 2nd half.

    Come talk about the game!

    I'm not complaining about these surprises. I'd take another 80+ surprises like this!

    All things considered, I wouldn’t even trade Justise Winslow for Draymond Green right now.

    That's what I love about this team. They can go down 10 and few minutes later they are in the lead.

    I liked Terry Stotts. He did a good job here, but, as usually happens, it was time to go. Just the way it works.
    But, I will say, if Terry was Coach, I believe Dame would have played 40 minutes tonight.
    That was always my main complaint with him, he drove Dame into the ground, and come post season, he was done after round one.
    Hopefully, once GPII gets going, Dame can get game rest, in addition to management rest.

    I never saw Stotts coach his ass off on the sidelines to get guys in position defensively. I also rarely saw Stotts choose to mix up the scheme defensively. The pick and roll defense was so atrocious.

    Blazers nefarious plan.
    They swept us when we were the much higher seed. Blazers strike back by trading them CJ, and having him chuck when they play us!

    We gave up half as much for him as we did for RoCo, so shouldn’t he be a poor man’s RoCo? :biglaugh:

    After all the shit Chauncey had to go through last season, I really am so happy for him.

    I don't know what "coach his ass off" means and I was never in the huddle or practice, but tonight isn't that night for this debate. The roster is better and I'm a Billups fan too.

    he led them to a 14-14 record after the trade. I talk to a couple of Pelicans fans on a Duck forum. They noticed that CJ played well after he joined the Pels. But they also noticed his dribbling and ball dominance, that he shoots more than he should, and that he was a disaster in the playoffs last season. They both are really unhappy with CJ at this point in time. They also both say they miss Josh Hart, a lot. Right now, they like Nance a lot more than they like CJ
