Honest question for Stotts supporters

At what time in the last 6 years has Portland had the talent to win a Championship? Seriously now. If you think that is a spin then again i don't know what to tell you.

 

I have been very consistent in saying that the Leonard pick was fine based on who else was available. It's completely unrealistic to say that he should've been picked 11th when he went in the 2nd round so no I don't say that. Of course if we were redrafting he'd go higher but then we wouldn't have Dame sooooooo yeah. Green becoming a good player and being an immediate game changer is not the same thing. You're the only one contradicting yourself here.

And if everyone knew Curry was the real deal why did he go 7th behind guys like Johnny Flynn and Ricky Rubio?

 

What in the fuck are you actually talking about? The only one who needs to read it is you obviously. I don't get what you aren't understanding.

 

I think Rick Adelman's son David (currently an assistant with the Nuggets) will be a good head coach someday. Would like to see him here as an assistant and then take over for Stotts.

 

This is what i'm talking about. I'm what universe is that not a team on the rise and becoming a contender when they just added Green and have a big three in place? Blazers where there last year and Nurk went down. If the Warriors had lost one of those players at the end of that season and pieced together a playoff run where would they have been in 2013-14? Now lets say at the beginning of 2013-14 they lost another player. Then 20 games in they lost another?
Here we are where the Blazers sit right now.

 

You're saying this while also saying it's contradictory to say that making the playoffs isn't contending. Do you realize how stupid these posts look?

Portland has accomplished way more than GS had when they fired Jackson. That's a fact.

 

It's very obvious you don't get it. Your narrative is so ingrained that you have lost objectivity.

 

Never disagreed with that. the point is Kerr inherited a very good team. That is and was always the point. You are trying to say he didn't.

 

Your posts are so all over the place and don't make any sense. I'm sorry I really tried to give you the benefit of the doubt here but it's just mumbled thoughts accusing me of saying something I didn't.

The Warriors lost in the 1st round and then hired Kerr. They had Green, Thompson, and Curry together for the two seasons prior. Show me one person that thought before 2014 they were a title contender?

 

@hoopsjock you can cuss and write in bold all day. but you are wrong here. The situation between Portland and what GS did is vastly different. You can try to spin it however you want but it ain't gonna change. Your original statement asking "How is that different from Portland speaks volumes.

 

What? I said that no one considered them title contenders (which is 100% true). They were obviously good enough to make the playoffs (much like Portland) but not a contender (much like you are claiming with Portland).

 

My point would actually be does it matter, I was the one who brought up Kerr, but saying well Kerr isnt actually a good coach isnt much of an argument for keeping Stotts. Though I dont think Stotts is in any Danger of losing his job after their run last year. My point was you dont know if there are better coaches unless you go look.

 

They make sense just fine bro. You cannot throw a bunch of shade on it by muddying the waters and changing narratives. You want to spin it to your liking and it's wrong.

 

Sorry but you have yourself completely confused and have no clue what you are even arguing.

 

Again that is not only what you said. It also is not true. They were obviously beginning to be contenders. Here is the rankings. Spurs just won it all but here is GS at #5

I don't have a narrative! Seriously stop KJ, you've been trying to turn this into something it's not and I don't understand why.

 

Sure it's me that has not clue. Sure.

 

Now after looking at that link do you still want to say they were not contenders? Really?

 

So about Stotts...

 

It doesn't matter but trying to compare them is wrong. Kerr has always been in a great situation. Everyone except those who want to try and tear down Stotts knows this.
