It's making the rounds an all the national blogs. What's this about?

Buddy did this:



Coach yells at him.

Next play down to end the game:





Something to be said about Dame's at times horrific shot selection, but shooters gotta shoot that's for sure.

After the game:
 
I don't disagree with Dame often, but I don't know. A lot of people criticize Stotts because of the shot selection he seemingly lets Dame and CJ get away with. If the coach thinks it's a bad shot, addressing that is the right way to go. The coaches job is to address those type of situations, isn't it? How many Blazer fans would love to see CJ get ripped by Stotts for one of those 14 second's of him dribbling into a terrible off-balance shot?
Definitely, those shots look good when they go in, but for 99% of NBA players, they are bad shots...

I actually think it's good coaching to tell a player you made that shot, but it's a bad shot. I know situation plays into it, but there are times where I've thought ok Dame maybe someone should tell you not to take that shot.

I agree it's a coaches job to inform players of shot selection, but the situation and the way it was done in this case was not correct. In desperate comeback mode and he nails the shot. The coach made a scene on the sidelines while the Warriors were shooting free throws. Seemed uncalled for at that moment. Save it for the film session. If that happens earlier in the game then do it during a time out or when he have a chance to speak, not after he makes it while desperately trying to comeback. Didn't make sense to me and you could tell it was a big deal watching it live.
 
I think the era of high strung screaming coaches is over...they seem to lose the lockerroom and get fired more than motivate players

Well most heat of the moment things, are "uncalled for" in that moment. I bet they talked later. I also highly doubt that played a role in Buddy not taking that shot. I agree that the context was sort of strange, he made it, it was a last-second, crunch time shot. He misses it though and it's probably game over, a few seconds for people to get a rebound if GS gets it they're getting free throws.

You just don't make a spectacle like that on the sidelines. That's a bad look.

It's like fighting with your significant other in public. Not good.

Coach might have been right but he did it the wrong way.

It depends right, I dont watch the Kings enough to know, but is Hields shot selection a problem? Maybe the coach has brought it up several times in the “right” way.

I get the argument and I partially agree the coach definitely could have handled it better.
 
Given time and score, the shooter that Hield is, and todays NBA, I don't see how that is a bad shot. If Joerger doesn't want Hield shooting that shot with 7 minutes to go in the third quarter fine, I get it. But down 6 with under 20 seconds left? There are far worse looks to get, he made it, so live with it, and keep the focus on finishing the game, not making a stupid point that may have cost you the game.

League rules not only allow Durant to openly spy on what the opponent's coach tells the player...the rules allow Durant to get into the middle of the conversation, redirect it, and change the instructions the player hears. The league should change its rules for such interactions. Compare to football. The teams sit much farther apart.

Problem is that's a great shot in that situation.

Hes shooting .500 from 2 and .446 from 3, so it shouldn't be a problem.
 
I just don't see a problem with their best scoring threat taking any of those shots. Even if he misses you live with the results. I know i sound like Stotts with that response but it would be something i agree with.
 
Can't believe people aren't supporting the Sac coach.
Posters on this site all the time call for Stotts to blow his top.
Hell a couple posters even commented on Kerr blowing his top against Portland a couple games ago that it was 'good coaching'.

Certainly seems like coaches who 'blow their tops' lose more often than win.

Or could it be that fans want to see a coach emotional because fans are emotional. Therefore the only way fans believe coaches/players care is if they see emotion out of the players/coaches.
Otherwise it 'rubs fans the wrong way'. Much like many claim CJ does.

I would expect a few Stotts haters to support their coach for sure. It's everything Stotts absolutely would not do.

Talkin about stripping away all context so you can complain about people. Smfh.
 
Going off on what jlprk said, I kind of wonder why they don't have the teams sit kitty corner from each other.

Without knowing the backstory and potential lockerroom discussion of past, or lack there of, i dont see how anyone can come to a judgmental conclusion...
 
There's got to be some missing context here. Is he a chucker by nature? Had he shot the previous 10 possessions? Are they willing to trade him for Seth?
 
People with perfect vision will notice that Buddy shouldn't have had that last ball anyway.

As Klay noticed Buddy is running for a shot he immediately left Bagley so he can explore the Oracle Arena on his own.

You realize you use green font for sarcasm, right? You've been here a while.

Im so tired of the rant for three paragraphs with no hint of sarcasm or green font then when someone calls it out for its ridiculousness, pulling the old "I was joking" or "I was being sarcastic" card to play it off, and then use it to try and exclaim the other person is "too serious".
