Do you think some part of the coaching staff has been assigned to start reviewing film or planning for golden state? I read somewhere that if we win Friday, we play gsw on this Sunday! Not much time to prep if true.
Let me just clarify, I don't think the Blazers, players, can look passed the clippers. But you have to have some time to game plan.
To answer the question, yes, I bet Stotts has some low-level assistants and video guys doing work on the Warriors already. He would never admit it though and he would tell those people to not let the players on our team find out.
I think you absolutely have to begin a contingency plan for a potential next opponent. Not counting chickens before they hatch, simply planning next moves if current moves are successful. It would be stupid not to at least prepare the material that will be used to game plan and prepare the team for a possible match-up with a possible next round opponent, and even more-so considering the current circumstances. If they win tonight, they will have tape and workouts ready to go by tonight at 11:00 p.m.
It's standard procedure to scout the next Playoff series to prepare. It's not even done in a sneaky nature.
Pull a CP3 and punch em all in the balls...no we aren't bitches like that I think after losing the first two games of this series our experience will help us sneak out of Oakland with at least a 1-1 tied series
Stotts calling his wife: " Hey, Honey I'll be sleeping at the office tonight to prepare for the warriors." Hangs up takes bottle of scotch out of the drawer, pushes play and starts to watch the footage...
Idk why but I picture an old school projector with the reel playing and him smoking American spirits.
Easy... We win they lose. Make sure you shoot the basket and make it into the "basketball ring" <-- Ted Cruz
How is this the first time I've seen this mentioned here? I thought of posting it, but then got busy at work and forgot about it.
