    terry did not get "more" out of a worse roster. And the years that the blazers roster was worse, so was their record.

    Name me one bench from stotts time that was as short or as inexperienced as the current teams bench.

    Dame can make bad coaches look adequate.

    right....it was a really bad bench

    that bench averaged 23.6 points and 12.6 rebounds. The current bench is averaging 24.9 points and 13.3 rebounds

    Apparently Chauncey has turned into Stotts:

    It's Olshey. It was always Olshey.

    I would argue that if Chauncy played a bit more to Nurk's strength on defense, this team would be closer to the 2018-2019 team than the crap roster teams Terry had later.

    2020 absolutely murders this current team. Not sure it would be within 20. It’s not even close.

    Melo & Kanter might combine for 50.

    They both look about the same as when they were fired in my eyes.

    They both had to go.

    #1 offense is the Lillard factor. The guy has been running a super basketball 101 clinic.

    Worst defense in the league? That's only for fans who actually watch the games. Stat checkers and highlight viewers need not apply.

    I really like Stotts as a coach..didn't like Olshey as much of anything. Stotts never had a bench but knew how to put together a starting lineup. Stotts needed a better defensive coordinator and better defensive players.

    Agreed. Unless you can replace Stotts with the next great coach I didn't have a problem with him.

    Billups seems worse in every way.

    Olshey the same. Once he showed that his best plan was to blame Stotts, he proved all of his doubters correct.

    Stotts the same, Olshey worse. Olshey was to building a roster as republicans are to actually giving a fuck about people.
    Olshey’s ego is why we are still in this clusterfuck.

    Billups is not the guy either. Way too inexperienced
