    He did try to use Dame off ball but CJ got Stuffed. CJ also tried his hero shit. Then any pass to Aminu was a turnover or a clanker. Turner was well... Turner

    It's like you forget they are playing 5 on 5. But the Blazers didn't have 5 healthy bodies on the court that could play well. They were out matched and out gunned from the very beginning.

    KJ you're wrong about this. Aminu had 6 turnovers the whole series (1.5 per game) and shot 43.3% on 3's with 7.5 attempts per game (THAT IS FUCKING EXCELLENT) and 51.9% overall.

    No, he really didn't. In the rare instance he was off the ball, it was because the Blazers weren't in a set and it dissolved into C.J. trying to bail the team out of nothing.

    C.J. had 25ppg on a 61 TS%, so C.J. didn't get "stuffed", and he most definitely wasn't the problem because he was always having to bail the Blazers out of a "nothing" offense and actually did a good job of it.

    Aminu did have a good series but again that isn't the point now is it. They were begging him to shoot them and were not even guarding him. Why? because that is how you beat the Blazers.

    You corrected him on Aminu right when I corrected him on CJ. How perfect lmao.

    Revisionist history. Some people will make stuff up to try to defend Stotts, while trying to discredit anyone who doesn't like him whenever possible. Gets on my nerves.

    There you go with your Stats. If you think that back court didn't get stuffed you didn't watch the same series as i did.

    So they beat the Blazers because they let Aminu have opportunities that he made good use of? Yikes.

    Go ahead and try to make excuses for Aminu. That's fine also. The dude is the weakest link in the offense. Without question.

    I'm sorry KJ but that makes no sense.

    Hahahaha. Dame got stuffed because he was consistently running into a Holiday/Davis trap 30 feet away from the rim because Stotts kept running ball screens near halfcourt.

    That argument against C.J. is... I don't even know what to say.

    Look it's well known teams let Aminu shoot. Yes he has some good games. But they lose a series.

    Yet he wasn't during that series. Put Mirotic in Aminu's spot and Mirotic likely produces the same result, because Aminu shot great even for a great shooter.

    So how can it be Aminu that lost us that series? You'll blame anyone else before you blame Stotts, even if they played great.

    How is stating facts making excuses for Aminu? He played great. Sounds to me like you're making excuses for Stotts.

    Never before have I heard the argument of "Letting someone play great is how you beat a team".

    So why didn't that same trap work this year? Please tell me why? Oh maybe it was because Davis wasn't playing? Oh boy. There we go with the talent thing again> It's me that doesn't know what to say now????

    Yeah, that's why it didn't work. But when they have Davis, why would we play to their strength? Because that's what we did.

    So you are telling me you have never said Westbrook will shoot them out of a game? It's what teams do to the Blazers game after game with Aminu and harkless and Turner.

    Westbrook is a much worse shooter than Aminu, and much more lethal in other areas.
