    Nope! Not at all.
    They sound like a bunch of fans that "Think" they know what is going on better than the actual coach of the team. But hey every coach is fair game and they all deal with it.

    I could be wrong, but on a gut level I feel like Pops may be losing some interest in coaching.

    Very possible. I'm sure it's much more fun to coach 2 HOFs vs his current roster.

    Aha! So at least one Blazer does look at plus/minus stats: McCollum talking about Anf “He was huge getting a lot of big shots for us. He was aggressive. His plus-minus (plus-16) was the highest on our team tonight.”

    I thought Simons play really good last at both ends made key stops and a key block and steal toward the end of the game. But he probably going back to DNP when Dame comes back or they play and DNP Nas.

    I taped the game and am just now into the 4th quarter. Cj seems to be extending his range with his left hand.
    He is so crafty when he is in the lane.

    Very possible. I believe they only have 2 at the moment.

    You gotta figure Tony Parker gets in. Manu? Maybe? Kawhi is making his case. Point still stand that most of the time he was winning he had two or even three HOF players on his roster.
    Will DeRozen be in the HOF? Another maybe?

    I agree Parker and Kawhi are probably in. Manu I would lean yes, DeRozen I would lean no.

    It helps when you have multiple all stars on a team and Pop has even said this himself.

    Last night was a good example of why I never bet on NBA games. Portland was short-handed and on the road when they beat SA (who was at full strength). Then SA turns around, goes on the road while resting DeRozan, Poeltl, and Mills, and blows out Phoenix who was playing at home and was at full strength. Crazy

    Right now during this season depth is everything. The Blazers might actually be in a pretty good position.
