Game Thread GAME# 2: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 26, 2020 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

What would Dame do if

Dame will be so mad if we fire Stotts, will ask for a trade like Harden.

 

Outside of the fact that we should be highly motivated to win if we don't expose them inside the paint with Nurk or drive to the paint repeatedly to try to get them in foul trouble with only 9 players then there is a huge problem.

 

You like what you see Neil?

 

I just don't think so.
Coaching tenures around the league last 2-3 years. Stotts has been here an eternity by league standards. Even he knows that. All things come to an end at some point. Now if they make a good run this year there will be no question about Stotts being here. If not even Damian Lillard must admit he had his chances.

 

Who is that standing with Olshey? Does anyone know?
Is that Rafael Stone?

 

Again the odds of a coach finally getting a championship after many years of chances are extremely low. While I don't hate Stotts with each passing year the odds only get lower of a "breakthrough"

 

Many years of chances? How can that even be a stat or put to odds? Every year is different. This year even more so than any other.
Stotts has had his chances. The two best ones were decimated by injuries so far. That and super teams not to mention a guy named Lebron James. He has one this year in my opinion. If it doesn't take it will be tough to keep him. If he makes a good run it will be tough to fire him.

 

Here's the video of it.
You can see olshey is watching him as he runs by so they probably are having a conversation about something to do with Harden. Just a thought?

 

Having trouble picturing that but we'll take your word for it. A belated Christmas present to yourself? Never mind too much information already.

 

I'm not saying he can't do it and I hope he does but in my opinion there will always be factors and you either get it done or you don't. The Mavericks did one so why can't we? They dealt with a lot of those factors. I just feel like he hasn't got it done so far then how are the chances getting better? At some point it starts feel like are enabling very low odds. I tend to see things from a logical standpoint it seems like it is making less and less sense.

 

Hurry up 7 O'clock. Go Blaaaazzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!

 

I thought I remember someone in the last game thread they saw Collins with a boot. Did anyone hear anything else on this?

 

Want to see us NOT dig a hole in the first qtr but dominate this game end to end! Would put some balance into this weird shortened season to even the record tonight

 

hopefully nurk plays like an amatuer tonight, so the rockets dont ask for him in the trade for harden

 

I love Dame, but he needs to grow up. What is he gonna do? Follow Stotts around for the rest of his career?

In as far as tonight's game goes, who is out on the Rockets? Is Harden even playing?

 

as much as i love Dame but he is not bigger than the Portland Trail Blazers. If the team fucks up the next few games Stotts has to go, and Dame has to accept that decision

 

wolves up by 11 on the road against jazz

imagine what would they do to us

 

Not sure; here is a photo of him:

 

How do we get 97 comments about a game before it starts?
