    I've pm'd Cup about insults before....it's the mods job to deal with flagged posts and they don't deserve to be bashed for how, when or why they do it in my view.

    We deserve to be bashed constantly. We're inconsistent, subjective, and all-around inadequate. In fact, if people would pay more attention to the poor moderating than to the unnecessarily inflammatory posting, this would be a much better place.

    We don't have to drag this on but I'm going to respond to the things youre directing at me. Again, regardless, if I said the thing Cup did to someone else you would've lit me up for it and would've said nothing if someone else responded like I did.

    Do you remember that movie "The Green Mile"? You know, the one where Michael Clarke Duncan's character would literally suck all the pain and sickness out of people and take it upon himself, and then like, belch it out (in the form of a million freaky looking black insects)?

    Yeah, I think a mod's job is kinda like that sometimes. Get posters to focus all the negativity on us...mainly Sly...and away from one another.

    Just want to point out I didn't really direct this at you, there are a lot of posters including myself who give Stotts crap for everything...

    The end of a long road trip is taxing...not just physically but mentally....I used to tour for 6 weeks at a time regularly and by the end it's easy to forget a few lyrics..slow down a tempo or just not be sharp

    I just dont want people thinking that I think Stotts is the only reason we lost.

    Let's start with the premise that nobody here is an idiot.

    We all understand that it is not the NFL and that teams don't have the time to install unique offensive and defensive schemes for each opponent. Stotts, however, takes it to the opposite extreme. He is very slow to adjust rotations and almost never adjusts schemes. We could spend hours arguing the "why", but we all see it happening. To put it bluntly, the Stotts' defenders ( of whom I was once one) need to find a better argument than than asking fans to ignore the obvious.

    Bad scheme and bad execution. Plenty of blame to go around. The difference is that the players had some excuse (fatigue).

    Honestly they need a better coach for the playoffs. Stotts and his system seems to work fine for the regular season. Thats the problem, until Stotts proves he can adjust in a playoff series his lasting impression will be he gets beat by the same schemes all the time. They might get 50 wins this year, which yes is partially on Stotts putting together a good system for the regular season. If they get swept again then that mostly proves yet again he’s behind what the opponents are doing.
