    This thread has now reached 1000 posts.

    "Where were these people 10 days ago?" <--- Neil's smug reply to being swept by N.O. -- referencing a meaningless winning streak prior to the playoffs.

    Lmao that quote was so idiotic. It’s like he doesn’t understand regular season basketball is different than the playoffs. Teams usually don’t sell out to stop you in the regular season. Winning isn’t the only priority in the regular season. The way Portland usually plays (offense built around getting dame and CJ looks) doesn’t work in the playoffs. Never has. Never will. And change hasn’t really happened. They still revert back to it whenever they are down/struggling.

    Which doesn't mean much since he continues backing the only coach he's ever played under on the NBA level. Players shouldn't be calling the shots, although I don't blame him for getting involved and showing his loyalty. Stotts has been the Blazers head coach for close to a decade and still hasn't produced any real results in the post-season.

    Yeah, it's almost like we are going to keep repeating the same worn out talking points until something actually changes with our stagnant ass team.

    Imagine that.

    I know he isn't going to be fired in 42 days but he will have sealed his fate by then without a move.

    No not at all, despite what the feeling in here is I think he can still hide behind the facts that his teams make the playoffs every year and that they are making money.

    At minimum he has to pull off a Nurk type of trade that sparks a bit of a run even if that player isn't a star.

    Well he got his ass saved by that 13 game winning streak right after the deadline otherwise he probably would've been gone by now. It didn't help getting torched by Mirotic in the playoffs (18.3 PPG and 9.5 RPG) when he could've likely had him with the trade exception instead of the Pelicans getting him.

    Neil Olshey today randomly hanging out at Moda as he learns that there is in fact a trade deadline.

    The look when you realize the put up or shut up time you’ve been delaying has finally arrived.

    I don't think that was ever an option. At what cost? and would Paul Allen have approved of that kind of deal when we sent out Vonleh to get under the luxury tax. That contract would have cost us around double and started the clock making this a consecutive year of being over the luxury tax.
