After 2 games: Biggest disappointment so far?

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Who's your biggest disappointment in the BLAZERS v. Spurs series?

 

[Chuck Taylor]

Stotts having no clue how to defend the pick and roll

 

[Natebishop3]

Aldridge.

 

[magnifier661]

Defense

 

[B-Roy]

Where is the vote for Terry?

 

[illmatic99]

Our defense. Obviously.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'll go with DAME. I just don't see the same fire and desire to destroy a team that I like to see out of franchise players.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Where is the vote for Terry?

It would be a run-a-way if we did that. I wanted to make it Players only.

 

[ehizzy3]

Aldridge.

 

[santeesioux]

Terry Stotts, at least he can out coach Mchale though.

Can't start blaming Terry now. This is the exact same D we've played all year. We're just finally facing a team that can exploit it. Did you expect him to completely change up the defensive coverage in 5 days and his players to implement it?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The mods.

Come on man! Terry is a good coach. I can't believe how quickly all you guys turned on him.

The complaints aren't anything new though. Bad defense. Poor rotation. We've been complaining about that all year.

 

[ripcityboy]

Lamarcus and his general stupor. Also, Stotts has been doing a great job reading all those plays the Spurs run through Parker.

Yeah, it's the exact same crappy defense they've played all year. It's a wonder people are only starting to criticize it now. (They have been the entire season)

Remember this was the same coach that out coaches McHale. Shit you guys were praising him last series.

This forum can be so bipolar sometimes

I don't dislike him. In fact, I genuinely like him and hope he's out coach next year.

BUT, he needs someone to take over the defense. The defense is something that fans have complained about all year. That and the static rotations that give Mo 25 minutes each night regardless of how bad he's playing.

I do agree with that. Remember Caleb was the last defensive coach "lmao". He does need that "tex winters" for defense coach.

 

[santeesioux]

Pay Lionel head coach money to be the defensive coordinator.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

LA. As he goes. So does the team. When he plays with an edge. So does his team. He's not the same player this series as was last. To me he is playing satisfied. But it could be just a real lack of belief on his part.

I could outcoach McHale.

McHale is a horrible coach. I don't think Terry is horrible, but I also do not think he's a championship caliber coach. I pretty much said that when we hired him. I think he's a place holder. I think eventually this team will need to hire someone that can go the distance, and I don't think that's Terry Stotts.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

ROLO is a close second for me. Just not the same guy.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Not disappointed with Dame. He is just a young kid and he is learning a ton right now. I think his heart is in it. Can't say the same about his teammate.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame got 19, 5, and 5 on 40% shooting. His problem right now is that he can't hit a three. He was 1-6 from downtown. That's not a bad line. It's just not superhuman like he was doing against Houston.

I don't put this on Stotts.

Yes, he could probably be doing better. But I think it's more on the players mindsets right from game one.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

LMA.

He starts to turn it on when the game is out of reach.

PNR defense is nonexistent.

POP is the GOAT.

 

[Natebishop3]

Okay, that's funny.

Repped.
