Stotts may not be the worst coach in the world. However, I would guess that over 50% of the people writing on these boards could have done as well (poorly) as Stotts did when Lillard is on the team. Stotts did nothing to overcome whatever deficiencies the Blazers had after considering...
I didn't overhype the Blazers. I figured they were better than a team with no point guards and a couple of forwards with essentially no playoff experience. I still ask: How the hell did the great Blazers lose to a team like Denver? I am not going to go into the details of explaining it. It...
Locally, every move is overhyped about this team. Their offseason moves with Covington et al were supposed to bring the title here. Acquiring Powell was supposed to bring the title here. Anthony was supposed to bring the title here. Because I live in Pdx, their bullshit is always in my face...
That's because I did not believe, for one second, that the Blazers with their entire squad available could lose a game to a Denver team with no point guards except Monte Morris and Austin Rivers, neither of whom were anything when the season began. So, I prepared myself for the Blazers to...
It is truly unbelievable that the Blazers lost this series. No Murray, No Barton, No Dozier and the Blazers lost? Christsake, they got the best player in the league and they lost? What a bunch of chumps. I am glad they lost because I get sick of reading and hearing about how good they are...
This is why I don't understand how some people, in and out of the media, are trying to make like this is a real series. It is the pros versus the peewees and the peewees ain't gonna win a damn game.
Winning with a MVP caliber player with nothing else surrounding him is real hard. The Nuggets will get swept unless they just forfeit the series like they should.
It would be an upset if the Nuggets even win one game. They got no Barton. They got no Murray. Michael Porter Jr. and Gordon suck. All the got is Jokic and that ain't enough. Austin Rivers should have retired about 5 years ago. He ain't worth a shit either. The Nuggets are dead meat...
Leave it to Spock for a brilliant analysis. Denver does not have an advantage at forward since they have no forwards who can score or defend. Who was responsible for "guarding" an unguarded Anthony all night? Was Malone even looking at that disaster? Why didn't he suggest that some Nugget...
How can the Blazers be the "weaker team on paper"? It is Jokic and whatever four yokels, or jokels, as you prefer, they put out there. Meanwhile, the Blazers have Lillard, McCollum, an unguarded Anthony and on and on and on. Denver has nothing. I suggest they look into getting into the G...
How genius is it to just let Jokic dribble around for a half hour while positioning himself for two points when every one of the players to whom he could have passed the ball to would have choked the shot anyway. Rather than using genius to devise that strategy, it seems to be mere common...
Whoever wrote that has some common sense. As I have been telling you all here, this series was over before it even started. There is no sense in Denver mouthing the inevitable we have do this or change that bs. They are simply overmatched and have nothing except Jokic. I think it would...
