Poll: How Many Games does POR Need to Win in the Series for Terry Stotts to Save His Job?

Ah! Anyone that knows basketball.

 

Houston was coached by a horrible coach in McHale, so it's no surprise that we won. And we needed a miracle shot in Game 6 to avoid going to Houston for Game 7 and that was after winning the first two games on the road because LaMarcus Aldridge had the best two-game stretch of his life. The Clippers? Likely we lose if they stay healthy.

 

Never said anything about respect. I can promise you these Players at this level do not show respect for a coach they don't like. Players didn't like PJ. PJ just about got his ass killed. CP3 didn't like Doc. He left and the lack of respect has only gotten worse. Do i need to name countless other coaches that Players didn't like.
Oh and i can bet you will never find a Spurs player that doesn't like Pop. Not gonna happen.

 

Again that is an assumption without merit.
Actually the very opposite can be proven as all his teams seem to over achieve. Just like this year.

 

This team this season had 49 wins, a respectable total and exactly the same as the regular season for the Championship team in 1977. The similarity ends right there and vast differences are obvious. The 77 Blazers were coming together as a terrific team, and by the playoffs they were playing team basketball as well as the bests in history of the game. This team got the wins playing hero ball and never did embrace playing basketball. As such they are easy to defend and playoff teams figure that out each year. You can not put the fault anywhere but on the coach, McMillan and now Stotts, each in their turn. Players come and go but our Coaches do not change much. Oh well, the owner is making money.

 

Imagine actually believing this bullshit.

How many players have had career years in Portland?

Oh wait I know, it’s only because they got more minutes! Nothing to do with coaching. Got it. Saved you dorks the time.

 

Players playing at the level of these Blazers need a coach. No need to speak of "like" yet.

 

He gone.

 

I'm sorry, if we get to Game 7 at home and don't win....

 

I guarantee you Tony Parker didn't like Pops. At least at first.

I guarantee you he RESPECTS him tho.

 

Again, not what I think SHOULD happen, what I think WOULD happen. Paul seems to have a soft spot for Terry. Unless he gets fired before the start of next season, he will have lasted longer than any other coach during the Paul Allen ownership era.

BNM

 

We would have most likely lost the Clippers series with both Blake and Paul playing. Those games weren’t even close in LA. We won game 3 fair and square (it was a close one though) and game 4 was very close when they started getting injured but if we hadn’t gone back to LA we would have struggled again.

 

Yuck

 

Now you are trippin.
You cannot guarantee me anything about the way Tony Parker feels about his coach.
Coaches have to hold players accountable sure. But they have to do it the right way. When an NBA player dislikes a coach they start to question what he is telling them to do and when they try to do the things that coach is telling them to do they don't put forth the effort to make those things work. This conversation is about Stotts. At this point there is no question the players are putting forth the effort on the court.
IMO Stotts jobs is safe.

 

You simply need to go back to all the video where Tony said that himself.
