Try to win games or


I don't know...did you see Stotts face in the post game interview...he looked sickly like he is so tired of losing and knew we had this game in hand. I think he wants to win, that the Blazers want to win, we just cant win cause we are that young and inexperienced. (young and inexperienced sounds better than we suck)

This. No one on the Blazers is throwing games. They don't have to.

We won 13 in a row in 2007 because Blake threw a chair.

Me. If you expected us to be better than this it was probably because he got us to overachieve briefly early on.

The only time a coach should be fired is if the team underperforms its talent level or stops trying. We're TRYING, and if anything we're overperforming our talent level.

Agreed.

David Thorpe had a good point in Zach Lowe podcast today. NBA head coaches are basically a big bell curve, the few really bad ones can harm a team and the few really good ones can help it but the vast majority don't make a large difference one way or the other.
