Game Thread 2022-23 Game #61 - TRAIL BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - FEBRUARY 28th, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[illmatic99]

Do you have some sort of metric that makes this deduction?
I mean do you take the players every team has and then like deduct injuries and make some sort of computation to allow for experience.
Wondering how you can actually say that with such assurance?

i watch the league and have common sense.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Kerr is probably better than Billups?

You seem to have missed “At this point” but yes I agree Kerr is probably better. He certainly has done well with the players he has had to coach for sure.

 

[LayneStaley]

Our only hope is new ownership that cleans house. That’s the only thing that matters to me.

 

[Chris Craig]

Billups doesn’t have the fire or smarts to be a coach imo. Great player in his day and was clutch but another in the long list of former players that are shit coaches. We will probably keep him for 5-6 more years though.

Nash was a championship player too...shit coach. Sometimes it doesn't translate.

 

[blazerfan11]

We needed about 60 of those 71 points to beat the rockets, we aren’t very good. This offseason will be interesting.

I hope interesting good not interesting disappointing.

i've invoked this comp a few times now.

 

[Tince]

PROBABLY?!

Chauncey is bottom 5 in the league.

 

[MickZagger]

Jason Kidd was a shit coach and then suddenly a good one.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Ahh so I’m supposed to take your word for it.
Okay.

 

[Chris Craig]

Doncic vs no Doncic.

 

[illmatic99]

where did i say i want terry back?

Don't say that.

 

[LayneStaley]

I really wish Spoelstra was our coach. Should give him whatever he wants(money/control).

 

[Fairly-Hard]

where did i say i want terry back?

You didn’t have to. We read the threads and have common sense.

 

[illmatic99]

You didn’t have to. We read the threads and have common sense.

listen newbie, you seem to think you made some snarky response here, but my battles with @Tince about terry have been going on for about 6+ yrs now.

stay in your lane. this does not concern you.

 

[LayneStaley]

Nate McMillan is available.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nate McMillan is available.

Lol

Wasn't hornacek a coach too?

 

[Tince]

where did i say i want terry back?

You haven't, which is the scariest part.

Like many people, you're quick to want coaches/players gone without regard to the reality of being to improve the situation if you were to get your wish.

 

[blazerfan11]

Nate McMillan is available.

If he promises to starte sharpe and integrate him with Lillard, I am OK with him.

 

[Chris Craig]

Wasn't hornacek a coach too?

Yeah, the Knicks I think.

Terry needed to go. So does Chauncey.

There are better candidates out there.

ATL snatching up Snyder pisses me off. But let's be real, our ownership won't pay for two coaches.

Even if they fire Chauncey, they'll just promote Hetzel or one of our cheaper assistants.

Funny. You actually think I’m new?
Was just poking fun at you. Seems like you get a little too worked up to have that kind of fun.
I’ll be better.
Have a nice night.

 

[twobullz]

I like Thybulle but you know when he is the third leading scorer in the game the Blazers are in trouble.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

They already are paying for two coaches.
But I’m just a newbie what do I know?

 

[illmatic99]

what do I know?

not much.

 

[DDolla]

Get local boy Ime Udoka

 

[Tince]

100% there are better coaches than Stotts and Billups out there. Nobody would argue that. The point is can we identify and obtain someone who is better? 2 years ago those who doubted a change was likely to result in an improvement were laughed at. Now, we're doing the exact same song and dance after having our 2 worst seasons in 10 years.

Indiscriminately getting rid of players or coaches because things aren't perfect, without serious thought on the ability to upgrade the situation is not something that excites me as much as those who call for major change every other week.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

not much.

There ya go.
Nice job.
