    Exactly and even a slight bobble on the pass could be the shot clock running out before the shot is taken. I'm sure teams have calculated all the odds and it has been found that an iso play is the best at the end of a quarter, half or a game.

    All out denial mode does mean they’re more apt to make a mistake too. I’d be interested to actually see the math on if that’s the ‘best’ way or just the way it’s always been done.

    I don’t know how much data there would be for running a normal-ish offense since no one has ever really done it very consistently.

    I'm sure teams do a lot of testing in practices to accumulate data for the best odds though.

    This team like to live and die by outside shots, especially at end of games.

    I just read back the first page. Yikes. Y'all can't say I haven't improved a ton as a poster in the past two years. I used to get so riled up after losses.

    Go back and look at Dame and Roy's game winners.

    A lot of them were mid range jumpers and inside shots.

    We all get overzealous at times. The nature of being a Blazer fan.

    MANY games where we have been down by 1, and Dame/Stotts has opted for the long three heave too though. . .

    I think that more on Dame then Stotts. I think he tell Dame it on you and Dame just try to get the best shot he see fits to take.

    No, Jones is right. He was crazy but has matured up to my calm state of craziness. When people used to tell him was acting crazy, he would crazily tell them that they were the crazy ones.

    So according to the poll it appears that 78% think Stotts should still be the coach while only 22% thinks he should be fired. The people have spoken. :bgrin:

    How do you figure? Just because 22% voted he 'Needs to go!'?

    I bet there's a bunch like me who voted Stotts as a 'Top 20' coach....or completely mediocre. He's not completely terrible, but we could definitely get an upgrade. We have a few higher priority issues (GM) to take care of first though.

    If you wanted Stotts fired then you should have voted that way.

    well that doesn't appear to be the case here, lol. Impossible to read peoples minds and the option was there to fire Stotts now and only 22% chose that.

    You're saying that since only 22% want him fired, the other 78% think Stotts should still be the coach. I'm saying that rather than all of those people thinking Stotts should still be the coach, there's a middle ground who don't specifically want him fired, but wouldn't have a problem with him being fired.

    "wouldn't have a problem"? what exactly does that mean as it appears to be very open to interpretation doesn't it? That's like saying "I really don't care one way or the other" doesn't it? In other words undecided. Maybe that should have been put in the poll rather than some of the other categories. As the poll stands, 22% voted for him to be let go.
