    Is he disappointed now? Maybe now he'll try to adjust something or simply let the team know how they're fucking up? Or even simpler, not even tell them what they're messing up, maybe he'll just say he's disappointed! Lol.

    Did you see the look on his fucking face? I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it. He absolutely gives two shits about this game. Unbelievable!

    Aminu has the IQ and skill of a high schooler.

    CJ isn’t even worth the energy any more

    Have they run anything through Nurk? Only took one game for Stotts to abandon that but yeah let’s let our guards shoot 50 times no matter what.

    Layman is getting Vonlehd. Looking forward to seeing him breakout next year somewhere else while Turner gets shoved down our throats again.

    If Coach isn't disappointed, isn't that a green light to continue doing the same things?

    So CJ will keep jacking up contested shots, Dame will keep forcing turnovers, and almost the whole team will ignore Layman who is one in-and-out '3'3 from making 9 shots in a row over his last 2 games.

    Our local media... haha. Half-time show won't say anything wrong about how the Blazers are playing unless it's super-fluffed and kind.

    "Superior shot making and superior ball-stopping defense from the Sacremento Kings. They're called the "Kings" for a reason!"

    You should know the Blazers by now when they start fast on the road. They don’t have a killer instinct and always let the other team comeback.

    I have to say I totally believe you guys about Vonleh now. I guess I didn't pay attention enough to how Stotts allocated his minutes the last couple of years. But after the way Layman is being treated I TOTALLY see how that was possible.

    Guys, the Kings are just a matchup problem for us, that's all.

    What am I not seeing that the Stotts apologists see? The guy is either incompetent, or his players ignore him and play stupid just to spite him. Either way, HE NEEDS TO GO!!!

    Nah, Vonleh just had "no talent" just like Layman.

    It’s infuriating. Takes him out in the first quarter for NO GOOD REASON just because of a predetermined rotation. Fuckin sick of it.

    Yes they’ve gotten the ball go to Nurk several times. Nothing good has come of it though.

    You don't get it. Layman and Vonleh suck and are only playing decent because they got to be coached by Stotts.

    There’s something to be said for consistency. That’s a good reason.

    Just wait, after the game they'll say some generic ass stuff like "This player struggled, they played well, it's definitely not on Stotts" or we'll get a 10-0 run with Dame and CJ hitting insanely tough shots and Kingspeed will say "10-0 run, great job Stotts!!!" or "People are just complaining because we lost", etc.

    Meanwhile, I'm sitting here breaking down 5 different mistakes a minute with his coaching and no response. But I'm the one with an agenda, apparently. I'm literally just watching the game.
