Is that from the 3?

Whoever we play in the playoffs, if we get that far, I can already guarantee what we will see from them and what the result will be. Hint: We've already seen it every time this team has been to the playoffs under Stotts.

We’ve won two playoff series under Stotts

 

[riverman]

This is a situation where a coach like Pops would bench the whole starting unit for the next game against a tough opponent and start the bench...just to jumpstart the bench...Duncan, Ginobli and Parker watched their fair share of games from the bench

 

[Jade Falcon]

Yes, one of them was against a depleted LA team that would have handed us our ass if they were healthy.

Get a clue, King.

 

[riverman]

I'm wondering what's going on with the Blazers beyond the coach and roster...bay area writer Mark Spears said he predicts the team will be sold before the offseason. Trade deadline not far away...the team just doesn't seem as engaged as they started out

 

[tykendo]

It took an epic poor shooting night by the Blazers best 2 player for the Push, Pull, and Tug Grizzle to win. In front of a lame 40 % filled arena in Mempiss. CJ was red hot, always is there, but when it ain't droppin" for Nurk and Dame, you ain't winnin". And before the trolls suggest that others should have got their minutes, then the Grizzle would have doubled CJ. Move on, Walk out of Memphis, and beat the Raptors on Friday. Go Blazers!!

As long as we get a change, whether it's a new arena or coach, then it can't come soon enough. Because I am beyond sick of this shit.

Uh huh. One when Aldridge played out of his mind and stole us a couple games on the road and then Dame hit a ridiculous shot to save the series, and another when the other team lost it's 2 best players. Every other series we haven't really been competitive. We played hard against the Warriors one year. It's not exactly like he's looked good in any series we've had under him.

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah, they won the 1st one, 4-2 against Houston

since then, the Blazers are 7-22 in playoff games and 3 of those wins came against the crippled Clippers team.

Jesus. That is pathetic.

And if it wasn't for Lillard, we wouldn't even get to any of those playoff series.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Terry sounds baffled and confused.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Terry sounds baffled and confused.

He should sound fired is what he should sound like.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dame had a bad game. Portland has won many times when Harkless or Aminu have bad games. They've won many times when Nurkic has bad games. They've won many times when the bench has bad games. And they've won a bunch when MeJ has bad games. They don't win much when Dame has bad games

stop having bad games Dame

 

[Strenuus]

Is that from the 3?

Overall tonight

 

[blue9]

Alls I know is, it's a damn good thing Layman started rather than Harkless! Had Harkless played I hate to think how horribly this game would have gone. Thanks, Jake!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Would you take Stan Van Gundy in place of Stotts?

For how long? The rest of the season - absolutely. Next season - maybe. Beyond that - doubtful.

 

[blue9]

I really hope that we can be this season's classless organization that fires its coach on x-mas or x-mas eve...whichever comes first.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Blazers got to within 79-78 but haven’t scored since, a span of 4:05. Memphis up 92-78 with 1:24 left.

Why Evan turner still playing? Sorry, he doesn’t fit our team. He’s one of the reasons this team needs changes

Whoa. It's like a time machine. I hate to break it to you but......

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I think he’s got a delay, I believe he’s in Brazil.

[Bruno_Sabino]

Guys I know the game is over. Is just a tweet from Jason quick

 

[Propagandist]

Yeah, I was doing that joking thing.

I wish I could go back in time actually, to right before the Laker road game. Things were better then...

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Evan turner enters in the game and he killed our energy

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yeah, I was doing that joking thing.

I wish I could go back in time actually, to right before the Laker road game. Things were better then...

I figured wasnt trying to be a jerk. I apologize.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

We need changes please Neil just do something

 

[Labinot41]

This Team is dead.

 

[BigGameDamian]

We need changes please Neil just do something

According to Jason Quick, Jody has to give Neil the green light before he can make any changes. If Quick is right it's another situation where Neil takes the blame for something that's probably not even his fault.

 

[Jon]

Absolutely pathetic. No sense of urgency. We keep playing like this, we will get a top 3 pick.
