    One of the worst coaching performances i have ever seen in the NBA, he completely sucks at defense, Adjustmens and rotations, and the offense only looks good at times because he's got two very good ISO player, but traditionally his offense is getting exposed big time in the playoffs and it will happen again and again and again. Fuck him useless trash "Coach"

    So they've played 10 games, and still can't string together 2 decent game together. Their defense is still trash and the only reason their offense is even passable is because of CJ and Damian.

    Didn't they claim they were going to bring in the Bulls former coach to help teach them defense?

    Might want to think about getting their money back.

    Never was I fooled by Stotts. Even when we had Aldridge and Batum. I'm glad to see the board finally following in the shadow of my coattails.

    At what point are we going to stop talking about that joke of a preseason and stop counting those scrimmages as games? We've played 6 games, we've won 3 of them just go on ESPN.com and look at the standings.

    Yeah, this team has been very inconsistent. You might want to look around the league and notice that every team has been really inconsistent. I'm not saying we're going to be world beaters. I'm just saying that you can't judge where this team will end up after 6 games. Oh and please for the love of god stop talking about the fucking pre-season.

    The preseason pattern has continued in the regular season. There has been no change. So the preseason is useful in the analysis.

    Yes, we're 3-3. The lucky overtime win against the 9-deep Rockets demotivated the Lakers, giving us a 2nd undeserved win.

    There is always some excuse. Tonight, the excuse is that Curry scored 62 points. This insinuates that if he'd had his usual points, we would have won. No, we still would have lost. Our hurried errors and lack of coaching caused his big night, not vice versa.

    So every time Dame has a big night, the other team should fire their coach? The whole league would be looking for new coaches.

    One things for sure you can definitely tell Stotts is on edge this season. Watch the press conference with him and Jaynes. Dwight did a terrific job by calling him out on our defensive schemes, Stotts went as far as inviting him for film sessions lol..

    Honestly this doesn’t really bode well with the temperature of this team behind the scenes. But one thing is for sure this is definitely Stotts last season here unless it’s a really great one

    As a gambling man , I can just say Portland looks like 95% of the league . You got no idear who they are . Besides philadelphia and maybe Lakers wining 2 games in a row is almost a miracle.
    Not giving Scott a break but judging any Coach right now is hard.

    I get being even keeled and not getting too high/low but the expectations for this team are much higher than this kinda interview projects. It's almost like he expected to lose tonight because of the win Friday and the .500 road record. Look at how dismissive he is when criticism is conveyed. Think Terry is just in way over his head with this roster.

    People need someone or something to place blame on. Must be either the coach, a player, or the Refs. Sometimes the schedule or the location.
    But in the end they will always find a place to put the blame.
    Right now the Blazers are lucky not to be 1-5.
