    Fire Stotts now. Like literally right fucking now. I don't even want to see him do his post game press conference because I want him gone before then. Call him a fucking cab and send his ass to the airport.

    Not saying be fooled by it, but I'm saying this team def looks like a middle of the pack playoff team.
    Not better than 3-9 in the conference. But not better than them either.
    Honestly this is what I've been uttering all year.

    How is Olshey supposed to do anything if Dame doesn’t want him to trade CJ... no other players will bring back a difference maker

    Well, at least we didn't lose every quarter. Baby steps.

    Fine, keep CJ and trade Dame for Kawhi.

    Did Stotts even have a plan for these series, because the Pelican had a clear strategy?
    Oh yea ... Stotts plan was:
    ISO CJ, ISO CJ, Long bomb DAME, ISO CJ, Dribble Chief. ISO CJ, Long Bomb DAME, ISO CJ ...
    And if that plan didn't work, the new plan was: ISO CJ, ISO CJ, Long Bomb DAME, ISO CJ, ISO CJ ... dribble Chief, ISO CJ ...
    No defense, No ball movement ...

    If you think about it we just ran into the worst matchup. Two great defensive guards and no real center.

    But the irony of getting our ass kicked by Mirotic isn’t lost on me.

    Good night.

    Honestly, I think I would do that. It would hurt like hell, but I think we would improve a bit.

    Man! Miratitties is freakin' hot right now. They just aren't missing any shots. Hey, come out Saturday and win. Pels have been a buzzsaw no doubt. But it ain't over. Chicago looking silly to give up on Miratitties.

    Portland’s average margin of defeat over the past two postseasons is 14.3. Let that sink in ... they’ve lost by an average of 14.3 pts/game. That is beat down territory. Oh and they’ve now lost nine straight playoff games. Bye bye Stotts.

    Trading CJ won’t make us better though. Unless you trade him for Kawhi, but why would Pop want CJ

    Didn't we try to trade for Mirotic? Wasn't he on the Bulls? I could be wrong, though

    Start Meyers and Baldwin for game 4. Nurk and CJ should sit on the pine and learn a lesson.

    It may seem like a little adversity to us, to Dame it could be something that’s been bothering him for a while. I’m not presuming what he wants (keeping Terry and CJ) I’m just saying if it’s something that will push Dame away then you have to be careful about it.

    We are soft, if we get blown out and swept without one scrap or flagrant foul I’ll be disgusted.
