    STOTTS' PICK AND ROLL DEFENSE IS FUCKING GARBAGE.

    Again with taking 2 point shots when we need 3. Fucking Stotts. When we want to get high percentage shots, he lets guys take bad 3s. When we actually need 3s we are shooting 2s. You can't make this shit up.

    8 on 5 and the Pelicans getting EVERY 50/50 ball, and great trap defense.

    You have to give Alvin Gentry a lot of credit. His defensive schemes have completely shut down the Blazers.

    Is Nurk actually hurt or is Stotts just not playing him?

    I'm done with CJ. I know Dame fucked up more, but we can't trade him.

    Stotts takes Collins out of the game. He would've gotten that rebound.

    Yeah he wore a suit and stayed awake during the game, and outcoached Stotts.

    We get that homecourt we wanted. Then we shit the bed with it.

    In my eyes the only difference in this series is they want it more. Quicker to loose balls. Letting the pressure in the backcourt bother them too much.

    Pretty hard to be aggressive from the bench.

    This is so weak. The refs weren't perfect, but they were fair.

    Refs did not cause us to loose the game. Coaching (or lack thereof) did
