In case the Lakers fire Luke Walton this summer, would you want him as head coach in Portland?

Terry is going nowhere until a true upgrade is available and the team is trending downwards simultaneously.

 

So it shall be written, so it shall be done.

 

Such a good post. Honest.

 

Why do we have to compare fanbases? I dont understand that. As if our complaints arent justified because other fanbases complain. Makes 0 sense.

Im paying attention to what the Blazers are doing. If we were playing .500 ball then wed likely have our coaching be worse or we wouldnt be overcoming some of the mistakes. Theres still glaring mistakes in games where we play great, but instead of focusing on those mistakes, I focus on the outcome. If we play great, I let it go. If we play bad, then it's frustrating that we still cant improve problem areas that have existed for years in order to have a better chance at winning.

Also, most people stand by their stances no matter what, they're just more or less vocal depending upon the situation. After a successful road trip where Dame shot 46% from 3, theres posters still trashing his shot.

You should stop looking as opinions being determined by outcomes because they're not. The outcome simply influences whether or not those opinions are voiced.

Again, if we got down to a strictly basketball oriented conversation and ignored all the unrelated outside stuff, I think you would agree with the schematic and philosophical deficiencies of our coaching staff.

 

...
It's not comparing fanbases it's saying that Portland fans aren't the only knowledgeable fan bases out there.
They're not the only fanbase with a poster like Bonesjones, or BNM.
These fan bases have issues with their coaching staff just like you or I do with Portland's staff.
These fan bases also seem to rate Stotts better than their coach.
While Portland's fan base rates those coaches ahead of Stotts.

Grass is always greener.

Why? Because when they play bad and lose it's frustrating for them to see the same schematic and philosophical issues crop up.
Just like it's frustrating to you, I and Portland fans when the same schematic and philosophical issues crop up for Portland.

I'm not going to get into telling another grown ass man what they should stop doing and shouldn't stop doing. Simply because it's childish and I've had a very frustrating day what I'd say wouldn't be very nice. Therefore I'll go back to watching the game.
Game threads are similar in HOT TAKES. It's not hard to understand my point.

 

I dont think you understand the point I was trying to make.

 

I would love Luke Walton as Lead Assistant Coach (under someone beside's Stotts).

 

Im of the feeling that if Portland was Minnesota, Even Denver, Sacramento, Phoenix and other teams that have struggled for the last 6-8 years to make playoffs, this site wouldn't be nearly as active and more comparable to the cities mentioned above forum activity.

 

Are you daft?

 

Mostly, we've seen how teams that finish high in the regular season do well in the playoffs. You've gotta be off your rocker to think otherwise.

 

What's your issue with Luke Walton?

 

Watching the Lakers collapse has been glorious. 6 straight years in the lotto?

 

And his fatrher could come back tto town and be an honorary big man coach?

Fuck Portlandia... the new hot tv show would be

"The Waltons Return"
