I actually have never changed a post on here ever.

Son of a bitch. Words are hard.

Why the hell would you have RoCo make the second free throw when you’re down 3 with 16 left. That whole series was horrible.

 

[HolyBackboard]

55 attempted 3's ... we get outscored in the paint 60+-20+ ... we lose by 4. I'm so tired of watching Stotts coach this team.

It's to the point now where I'm looking forward to the playoffs being over so we can make a coaching (and possibly GM) change.

The commentators and apologists will rave that it's the 8th year in a row the Blazers have made the Playoffs.

Big deal. The Blazers earlier in their history had one of the longest Playoff runs in league history.....and nothing to show for it other than a vast majority of 1st round exits. This playoff run is rife with mediocrity and not a sniff of being a contender. Couldn't care less that they keep sneeking into the Playoffs to be dismissed in a sweep or gentleman's sweep.

What happened to the world's greatest coach, Nick Nurse?

Oh I’m sorry, does Nurse have a single top 50 player on his roster? I’d say, without question, that he’s been overachieving with what he’s been given. Swap the coaches - Nurse for Stotts - who does better with their new team? Not even a question in my mind that Terry would be fired within a month.

I don't think that's a mistake. I don't have any data on something so specific, but just from watching, "intentional miss into offensive rebound" seems significantly less likely than "foul into at least one missed free throw [into defensive rebound if the miss was the second free throw]."

Yes he does.

But I agree with you. Talent matters way more than coaching. I like Nurse by the way.

Yes, this is accurate.

They would've just fouled us anyway and started the process over.

Well it was a guaranteed loss the other way.

I don't know how you define guaranteed. They obviously did lose, but Jeff Green hitting both FTs had a 57% likelihood. Got to think Dame had at least a 30% chance of some crazy 3 if he missed one. So like 17% chance of winning with the strategy we tried (higher if you believe Dame is clutch). Obviously we were not in an advantagous position to win the game.

Coach Stotts is receiving DEATH THREATS tonight on twitter. The players as well.

... seriously?

This lashing and flamming on players/coaches is a common thing. The more it's normalized, the more emboldened people will be to take it to the next level.



Nothing wrong with saying you don't think our schemes are good, or that player X is bad in the PnR. But the straight hateful comments are gross.

It’s amazing that a laker fan would know these kinds of things.

I've seen the posts on twitter. They're bad enough I wouldn't repost them here.

Saying that you hope someone’s plane crashed isn’t a death threat. Is it horribly inappropriate? Yes. But if I say I hope you stub your toe it doesn’t mean I’m threatening to beat you up.

There are screen shots of multiple murder threats towards Coach Stotts after tonight's game.

Post em up. The chick said she didn’t think they are blazer fans.

I think it's slightly beyond inappropriate.

Go find her post on twitter and look in the comments. There are death threats.

You talking about the one about tossing him I the river with cement blocks? Or the one to that just said LYNCH STOTTS?

That's one of them, yes.

Meh. A death threat to me is someone saying they’re going to drive to your house and shoot you in the head. Posting in all caps LYNCH STOTTS is just stupid fans blowing off steam.

Yikes. I guess that's the new normal huh.

Encouraging "inflicting torture and corporal mutilation" is just blowing off steam?

I guess I don't care about the Blazers as much as others. That's never once crossed my mind to say. I want Olshey fired, I've never said one thing that could be seen as a threat towards him or probably that even comes off as me being angry.

Did you think I was threatening Papag’s life when I changed my avatar to me holding an airsoft gun?

I don't recall you doing that, so it's hard for me to say. I suppose if it were my best friend of 30 years who said "I want to kill you" after I beat him in cards, I wouldn't care. However, a stranger putting that out in the world over the internet, not my cup of tea.

Personally, don't seriously or jokingly threaten people online, I don't think it's cool or funny.

Sure but there’s death threats and then there’s people saying stupid shit. How many people were saying all kinds of shit about Trump while he was in office? When people are angry they say stupid shit. But there are definitely threats that should be taken seriously.
