    First people complaining about comparing to another team are the first to compare to another team when it fits the point they are making. Been that way for over two decades of online Blazer comments.

    Nah, you're not simply comparing, you're trying to prove a point, and somehow think that a couple random people complaining about a multiple-championship winning head coach compares to those who dont love Stotts. I wish you'd stop pretending like you dont know exactly what you're doing.

    I wish you would stop pretending like you always know what I am thinking because I can assure you that you do not.

    I will continue to use logic tests to see which assessments are truly valid and which ones are not. I understand why you would want that to stop.

    I think this is bigger than a Blazer fan base thing. From reading other messages boards and twitter, this type of behavior is the norm. Fans think the standard things that happen during all games are unique only to their teams.

    Bad officiating is a great example. The amount of comments about the number of beneficial calls a team gets is rarely mentioned, while the missed called get a much higher ratio of attention; like the league is out to get them.

    Coaching, player effort, defending the 3, etc. are the easy talking points for all teams.

    Why would they want a player like KLove? I mean we sure don't!

    Stotts has already given up any interest in getting these team to play good defense so it would make sense to go all in on the offensive end.

    Just saw that Steph Curry’s favorite player growing up as a kid was Reggie Miller. I never put the two together before but now knowing that, it makes so much sense. Steph moves without the ball and utilizes screens exactly like Reggie did.

    Also his dad had the same type of game. Maybe a combo of the two.

    For those looking for new NBA podcasts, The Dunker Spot with Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones Jr. is a great one.

    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dunker-spot/id1547857052

    Both smart guys. Nice mix of banter and nerdy X's and O's talk.

    Steve Jones Jr. is also the son of Steve "Snapper" Jones and has past assistant coach and video coordinator experience in the NBA.

    A team with Harden, Kyrie, and KD only has 41 points at halftime. Maybe Nash can’t coach.

    They'd have 75 at half if Luke Walton was their coach.

    Caris LeVert had successful surgery for kidney cancer. No further treatment is needed and he’s expected to make a full recovery. The physical associated with his trade to the Pacers may have saved his life.

    So Harden saved his life by telling the Rockets he wanted to go to Brooklyn ?
