    Stotts is one of the best coaches in the NBA period. If you get thibs then your offense will suck. It's all the same shit..

    Get Stotts some players then talk to me

    We don't know what is developing in practice...there could be many factors as to why guys don't play..tweaked ankle..etc..as to the games..Stotts is letting guys work through mistakes...lack of chemistry early on is leading to bad passes all over the place. As I've mentioned before...it's a long training camp season..tryouts game to game. I have less patience with turnovers in a game than the coaching staff does. with all 22 turnovers we almost won the game last night...CJ had half of them but made up for his mistakes by clawing back into it scoring double digits in the 4th..CJ is a mystery to me...Just when I want Stotts to bench him, he has an impact on the game. I credit Stotts for that. Davis, Aminu, Harkless, Vonleh and Henderson are still going to overthink the offense for the first half of the season. I'm thrilled with Henderson's contributions.

    Hey...the coaching staff seems to be improving Plumlee and Davis' freethrow stroke!

    Stotts is fine for the team we have now. If we were close to contending, I would still feel like he wasn't the guy. I think he gets out coached when he goes up against the upper echelon.

    Imagine Nate coaching this roster and you'll start loving Stotts again

    I wasn't aware he had applied for the job? :cool: It seems reasonable to be able to question a coach if done in a balanced way.

    I will put the lineup decision on Stott at the end of the game.

    Why wasn't Davis in the game on that final possession? Could have been the difference in letting Zbo get the put-back.

    I can't understand why Crabbe is getting the burn at the end, he is not a good defender.

    Firing Stotts is not the answer not making so many turn over by players is the answer. Stotts has zero turn over all season long.

    If George Karl gets canned would you be tempted?

    How about we threaten Stotts instead of firing him?

    We could write up a really stern letter outlining why we're angry and then I could send it to the Blazers to put in his personnel file.

    Can't remember, this the same person that was so livid over not extending Thomas Robinson, and wanted Olshey fired?

    I think it was the same person who said Luis Montero needs to start, or be a player, or something.

    Or was that LizardKing?

    I agree, our championship window is quickly closing and we've got Frazier sitting on the bench. This is an outrage!
