    If we resign Nurk, Terry needs to hit the bricks. He clearly doesn't understand how to tool an offense to his strengths when the going gets tough in the Playoffs. We've seen the Clipps & Pels flummox him with double teaming Dame, which on its own should be a fireable offense 2 playoffs in a row.

    Whether you like him or not, it's really tough to argue that Stotts is a good match for this roster.

    I wanted the Spurs; OKC was my second choice.

    It would be interesting to hear takes from coaching candidates what their vision for the Blazers would be (with this roster) if they had full control.

    Would have loved to see:

    PG: Turner
    SG: Dame
    SF: Harkless/Aminu (who ever shoots quicker)
    PF: Collins
    C: Nurk

    Bench:
    CJ
    Baldwin (for balance on D)
    Aminu/Harkless
    Davis

    Both Freeman and Casey think neither he nor Neil are even on the hot seat.

    They’re not going anywhere. It would’ve happened by now.

    Maybe not, but if 10 straight Playoff losses doesn't get you 'even on the hot seat', exactly what are the expectations? If that performance is good enough, perhaps fans shouldn't care that much about wins either.

    If you listen to Olshey answer, when someone asked him about Paul Allen, you can see how nervous he was for a while and then he turns to Stotts saying: "Right Terry?". Like kids, like seven years old kids.
    Just from this few seconds I would say that Paul Allen meeting was intense but they saved their heads with Neil talking and Terry's really really sad face.
    I hope Allen told them to do something this summer, but I'm afraid he gave them another season.
    Hope I'm wrong.

    I'm selling my seat to the division championship party for a bag of funyuns and a soda to be named later.

    We have to change our offense and quit reacting to how other teams play. We need a coach that is able to force teams to play our style. My opinion we should be running a slow down offense through high post. You can still run some ISO’s but you can’t rely solely on them because come playoff time it’s been proven Lillard can be stopped by throwing 2-3 defenders and forcing him to give up the ball.

    Run on offense that runs in transition, runs secondary breaks, and tech players how to create out of those situations via cuts to the basket, screens, and ball movement. If theres a set that megs to be run, there needs to be action going to the rim. We need to play an inside out style.

    If you counted the average minutes they had totaled, times 82 plus 4, the value would be equal to a Federal government budget item.

    I'm not sure this team will ever run well in transition (although with Harkless and Aminu they should). But, it does seem funny that we have several gifted passers (ET, Nurkic, Collins) and we have decided for some reason to not use their passing abilities in the offense.

    when the blazers do run an offense, and do pass, they are pretty good at it. Just that they seem to be easily rattled and also have inconsistent offense from 3/5th of the starting 5.

    In our offense, Livingston, a poor 3pt shooter, would've stayed in the corner.

    We don't screen for each other like this, and we definitely don't make rim cuts like Livingston just did.

    sometimes it's like the team runs half an offense. Only 3's.

    They don't utilize Nurks skillset (passing and in the paint) or CJ's mid-range game.

    But the biggest issue is that they rely too much on 3 point shots from people who really aren't good at shooting 3's.
