    Dame or CJ had good shooting night. CJ might got his points but he had to take a lot of shots. Really he didn't step up this series. Nurk is the not stop big man he use to be he doesn't move well like he did before the broken leg. Now we have long off season. The question will Stotts get fire and does olshey goes with him.

    Now lets start doing some of the things we all knew were needed back before the start of the season.

    Fire Stotts. Trade CJ. Get a secondary playmaker. Get players instead of one dimensional guys.

    Nurk is a shell of his former self.

    Jokic didn’t have to try and play defense.

    Stotts slit his own throat by not challenging the Nurk foul on the Jokic 3.

    If that gets overturned, Nurk has 2 fouls, it's still, what, a 13-point lead, we have a chance to step on their throats.

    Give them free points and the foul on Nurk? That's the move of a guy that doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach. There was a lot of criticism about him, but, in the end, to give that away when you have a chance to blow the game open, it's gutless. You can't have a gutless coach.

    It's not his leg. He's out of shape. If he survives the offseason he needs to get in the best shape of his life.

    New York and Portland should be on the phone right now working out the framework of a CJ deal.

    Man somebody will. We should take any decent offer we get.. a lot of silver lining. Stotts will be fired. We just gotta be smart with our next moves coming up

    Danny Ainge just quit and Stevens got promoted to front office. They didn't have to wait.

    Fuck that non-challenge on the Jokic 3 feels like the real difference in this game. Huge momentum swing after that.

    Wow.

    Although I’m not a CJ fan, I would never boo a guy like CJ. He didn’t play well, okay. Disappointing. But have some class.

    I'm so mad right now! CJ... GTFOH!:angry:

    Even IF we still didn't win the series, Dame/game 5 was ours. Some say (& I get it), Dame's to blame for Cj being around; I'm not 1 of those ppl. Cj's been here WWWWAAAAYYYY too long. I've never been big on Cj (he's definitely exceeded all the expectations I've ever had for him) but I've never wanted to say too much negative about him in case too much word got back to him (aka I'm sure no 1 would care IF I was the only 1 typing but I just didn't want to add too much to the let's shit on Cj pile:tongue2:) on too many fans not being a fan/supportive of him. I've always been in the trade Cj early on (especially when his value was high/@ it's highest) camp; obviously his value not the highest now but whatever we can get for him, let's get it/them.

    Its the perfect end for his tenure in Portland. Went out the way he likes, like a bitch.

    Let’s be honest, we had no shot of beating Phoenix or LA. This is better.

    That's right. But they weren't fired, were they?

    Maybe Stotts resigns.
