    I feel like every bit of payback we can get is worth going for. I was basically alluding to the fact that our guys will play with a bit of a chip on their shoulder against NOLA.

    Stop jinxing the game thread with coach bashing please.....call me superstitious but we can win this game...we should win this game...there are how many Stotts threads around this place already? I'm cheering for him to win.

    Maybe Stotts just needs to come out with a hoodie on walking like Rocky.

    His face would be turned towards the bench calling Turner off the bench to replace Jake

    Exactly this. Wouldn't want either one as my coach. But, Gentry proved himself to be superior to Stotts in a head-to-head matchup - no getting around that fact.

    That seems somewhere between highly likely and inevitable. Of course, it might be a moot point. CJ's lawyer might arrive with a restraining order by the time Jake reaches 20!

    Stotts often frustrates the hell out of me, however just because the Blazers had a better regular season record does not mean they had the better team. I give some credit to Stotts for over -achieving in the regular season. A Rondo, Holiday, AD, Mirotic and Moore line up that ended only 1 game back of the Blazers does not mean we were the better team. We had zero fucking shooting outside of Dame and CJ.

    I think we're the better team. Jrue Holiday is gonna be a challenge for CJ and Anthony Davis is always a challenge, but if we don't come out flat, work hard on D and turn defense into offense, we can win this

    I'm aware of this....but the tone of the game thread isn't starting out like a discussion about the poll....it's..."how the fuck could anyone support Stotts"......if someone says I think Gentry is the better coach....that's a discussion...no problem...personally I think Stotts is better. Maybe it's just me but Stotts bashing has become a game thread theme...which I think sucks...I also think Gentry is a good coach..not a top coach but a good coach

    Alvin Gentry is horrible. I don't know how Stotts blew the series last year, but he did. That said I would still take Stotts over Gentry.

    I'm not at all a fan of Gentry. But he's badly embarrassed our last two coaches.

    Yep if this one win keeps them OUT of the playoffs. That would be sweet revenge.

    We tied the series 2-2 before injuries. Stotts put us in position to win Houston series with a 3 by Dame and I disagree that was a miracle. Dame can make that shot all the time. In fact, he hit the same shot vs OKC in the following season.
