    play #1 = what you suggested. Powell would have scored by driving.

    play #2 = alley oop to DJJ and win with a bang

    play #3 = CJ (he’s not Dame!)

    play #4 = Mello bombs a long one

    that's true, but I remember him saying some things after he was traded that implied he was glad for a change of scene

    I don’t get Stotts. He knows his seat is an inferno. Why continue to honor Olshey’s agreement with Melo when your job is on the line? Sit Melo to give your team the best chance to win. Fuck Olshey and his being the custodian of Melo’s legacy.

    Melo is 37 years old and should not be playing more than 12 minutes max. But our idiot coach keeps playing him. CJ is in his prime and he plays like melo at age 37 except 10x worse defense

    Can't wait to hear Stotts get pissy with Quick over the tough questions.

    Stotts wants to play Melo imo. He doesn’t care about defense. He’s obsessed with trying to outscore everyone.

    Quick asked two questions:

    What did you like about what Nas and RHJ brought to the game?
    Do you have an update on Dame?

    Both were professional questions and responses.

    The worst thing that can happen is miracle and we somehow get out of 1st round because of Dame and stotts gets new contract because neil loves stotts how else is .500 coach still employed by same team from 10 years. We need to implode miss playoffs. Stotts will be 100% gone and Lillard will become even more obsessed next year and get even more hungrier. CJ Melo and stotts need to be gone next year this is unwatchable

    I sure hope Blazers don't bring Dame back early because of desperation.

    Basically that he liked the energy Nas/RHJ provided and decided to stick with them down the stretch.

    No update on Dame.

    Because Dame doesn't talk to stotts anymore.

    Dame is back Wednesday.

    Stotts lost the locker room.

    Why honor the person who is in charge of your employment? I think the answer is in your question.

    Dame demanded a trade if they get rid of Stotts because he respects him so much. He said they're a package deal.
