The question is: Will the Blazers be sorry they didn't go after Tom Thibodeau? Don't say we never got the chance.

Not until he wins a championship. Then sure, we will regret it.....if it ever happens.
I think we are better off with Terry as a head coach and slowly but surely finding good assistants with a grasp on team defense. Copy the Spurs! Pops is amazing with how he molds his players into his system.

But players seem to like to play for Terry and that is half the battle. Do they like playing for Thibs? Because the coach is always the one fired, not the team.
 
I have been on and off with Stotts, but he is just now finally getting to run his system. Even defensively we are seen as much more aggressive, something I'm guessing the squad he was first given wasn't willing to be be.
 
One adjustment I noticed happened when dame checked in for his second stint. In the first quarter there were a couple of possessions where Dame tried to crash the boards or at least help out at that end after a Blazers miss. With Draymond's ability to bring the ball up court, Curry was able to leak out in the first quarter and either get a layup or at least establish a secondary fast break which led to easy looks. From the second quarter on however, Dame was no longer sticking around on the offensive glass. This helped eliminate fast breaks and easy opportunities by the warriors. Not worried that it contributed to his total rebounds matching the number on his jersey. And this started during his second stint after time on the bench with none other than Mr Stotts.

I'm not. I just don't hate him like some do. He had to deal with lots of key injuries.

I think Nate was a great player coach with a solid defensive philosophy, kinda like Mark Jackson ended up being for the Warriors. He did get a lot out of the team considering the situation but Stotts is clearly a better X's and O's guy, players seem to like him as well.

Lead by dame intercepting passes and diving on the floor. Thats a fucking leader. He's so much better than albitch as our leader its not even funny. My only disappointment from last night is i didnt hear mvp chants when dame was at the line getting 50 and 51

Steph Curry probably would have stood up off of the bench and waved arrogantly at the crowd.
 
I haven't been watching the past few games, but it's all predictable to me. He needs to go.
 
Stotts has received many passes due to injuries in the past and this season with Nurkic and Collins.

Think about this for a second. Nick Nurse doesn't have his starting backcourt from last season, with one being arguably the best player in the entire league and the Raptors are 8-3. Seven of their 11 games have been on the road. Their bench is pretty much all new personnel also.

Amazing. No excuses here.

Terry is not the coach to lead this team to a championship. Coaching matters, I think it's time for a new take. You can always blame injury's but when it comes down to it I firmly believe Terry has been out coached over and over against other teams. Steve Kerr especially every time kills him.
 
I'd let Mark Jackson throw Bibles at me if it meant he got to be head coach over Stotts. Shit, I'd let O.J. Simpson be head coach over Stotts at this point. Give me something new. He's slowly killing Dame. Stotts not O.J.
 
Stotts should fire Olshey for trashing a 53 win young-improving team.
 
If it weren't a new owner like Jody running the show, Terry would be fired right now.

Actually, I've said from the start that I don't think Jody is going to be as patient about this shit as Paul was. She doesn't have the emotional connection to the team like Paul did and, after last season, she's probably looking for another Conference Finals trip, or Championship run.

I think he's definitely canned if this losing continues. At best (for him), he's gone in the off-season.
