Which option would be better for the Blazers?

I have to say I totally believe you guys about Vonleh now. I guess I didn't pay attention enough to how Stotts allocated his minutes the last couple of years. But after the way Layman is being treated I TOTALLY see how that was possible.
 
What am I not seeing that the Stotts apologists see? The guy is either incompetent, or his players ignore him and play stupid just to spite him. Either way, HE NEEDS TO GO!!!

Nah, Vonleh just had "no talent" just like Layman.

It’s infuriating. Takes him out in the first quarter for NO GOOD REASON just because of a predetermined rotation. Fuckin sick of it.
 
Dumbest bball I've seen by the Blazers this season. Enough stupid plays for five games.
 
Aminu has the IQ and skill of a high schooler.

CJ isn’t even worth the energy any more

Have they run anything through Nurk? Only took one game for Stotts to abandon that but yeah let’s let our guards shoot 50 times no matter what.

Layman is getting Vonlehd. Looking forward to seeing him breakout next year somewhere else while Turner gets shoved down our throats again.
Yes they’ve gotten the ball go to Nurk several times. Nothing good has come of it though.

There’s something to be said for consistency. That’s a good reason.

Just wait, after the game they'll say some generic ass stuff like "This player struggled, they played well, it's definitely not on Stotts" or we'll get a 10-0 run with Dame and CJ hitting insanely tough shots and Kingspeed will say "10-0 run, great job Stotts!!!" or "People are just complaining because we lost", etc.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here breaking down 5 different mistakes a minute with his coaching and no response. But I'm the one with an agenda, apparently. I'm literally just watching the game.

Or something like this as a reason for not playing Layman or Vonleh more.

Just wait until Layman misses a shot. He might not see another minute again.
Well he did miss one shot in his past two games so obviously he doesn't deserve more minutes.

BS. He's had very few touches and the touches he has gotten aren't with good position in the low post that could possibly set up by having sets designed to get him the ball with good position in the low post.
 
Guys, the Kings are just a matchup problem for us, that's all.

The farther we get into the season the dumber that gets for a first round opponent (that isn't the Warriots.) I can't believe our fan base used that. It's like saying, "Oh guys. The Ducks would have won the CFB Championship but Auburn and Ohio State were the using wrong schemes." I'm ashamed people excused the team's performance because of that shit. We got beaten by another team fair and square.

And by the way, Jake has played more than Turner.
Oh, you mean the guy who's 1-5 with 2 pts, 0 asts, 0rebs, and a turnover in 9 minutes?

Layman should've taken more. He's on pace to play 24 minutes, when he's been MUCH better in literally every aspect in the game than Turner or Stauskas has been.

Jake has been our best player the past 24 hours. Too bad the playing time or role doesn’t reflect that.

It's so strange man... So many fanbases wouldn't give Stotts a pass for that crap, and we're supposedly one of the "smarter fan bases"... It was beyond obvious that he coached an absolutely terrible series.

Like I've said, many fans will come up with any excuse so they can't blame Stotts.

Yeah. I just don't get it. This fan board is pretty objective and knowledgable. But some of others....
 
Literally trying to prove a point tonight but the defenders won't be here until after the game because they can't handle Stotts "bashing". The same people that'll say "Our talent sucks"....

The generic and generalized argumentative tactics they use to try to paint very knowledgeable posters than fairly and objectively criticize Stotts based on real basketball reasons is what really annoys me man. Which is why I'm trying to prove a point tonight by pointing out every single issue I see with Stotts coaching. Because honestly, I hold back more than people think.
 
Imagine how stagnant this offense would be without Layman's cutting to the hoop.....
