    I know sometimes within a day or two after a coach under achieves in playoffs they can get the heave in a day or two. I’m hoping this is the case.

    Should be done tomorrow so they can start looking for candidates, and candidates know that we're open for business.

    I think you'll hear an announcement in Indianapolis sometime in the next few days.

    He already knows he's fired. He's hoping his staff is fired too, so he can take them with him.

    Doesn't matter.

    If he stays, there may be a boycott of the team. Lol. It won't be that drastic but it would be an absolute joke if stotts is still here to coach another game...

    Would love olshey to go too, but I'm doubting that.

    This is gonna be quick. Stotts is gonzo. Coaching lost this series, no question about it.

    Our failure to defend the three did us in. Bunch of nobodies draining threes and zero adjustments. The way Denver passed the ball around the perimeter crisply left me in awe. The difference between us and them. We dribble the air out of the ball and fire up an ugly three with a couple seconds left on the shot clock.

    I think we should fire Olshey and Stotts at the same time. Any players that don't like it. f em. It's a business decision. We will be luckier than hell to keep the team in Portland at this point.

    Nate Bjorkren lost his team in Indy. Stotts is originally from the area-- he's in the Indiana bball HOF.

    and Pritchard loves blazer retreads

    I’ll give it 72 hours before he’s gone.

    I really think it’s 48 hours.

    Knowing this organization ........................................he’ll be back next year

    They have had a million years to make up their mind on Stotts this season. If he's not gone within the weak, I'll seriously question what kind of juice they've been smoking.

    Olshey is a harder case. I want him gone, but there are numerous reasons to think he'll still keep his job. Like someone said before, ditching Stotts is his last trump card. "Oh, it wasn't my fault, we had the right talent, we just didn't have the right coach." I think that keeps his job for at least another year. Plus, he's the one in constant contact with ownership, and he can probably sell his vision of having the right team that was used incorrectly.

    Every single front office and coach's desk should have packing boxes stacked on them -- IDGAF -- full 10yr clean out is in order!

    Blazers will follow the Celtics and announce Stotts will be the new GM and Olshey is stepping down, lol.

    I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. Should be tomorrow at the latest.
