Good news? We're holding MIL on a pace for 98 points.

The bad? We're on pace for 60.
 
Can this be the Nate @ New York game where we get blown out by 50 and he gets fired? I am really starting to doubt he's a championship style HEAD COACH (I know he won one as an assistant... but moving a couple seats down changes everything).
 
When we beat the Bucks, TRob had 15 points and 16 rebounds. Where is he tonight?

It's not stotts fault. Blame olshey for not giving him enough talent. Seriously chris Kaman and steve blake? That's it?

That team wasn't even a playoff team and was losing to everyone. We recently beat Washington and nearly beat the two hottest teams in the league.

But he didn't, and neither him or stotts are doing anything but playing a guy who is a liability. It's one thing to do what LMA is doing and fighting through it AND producing. But if LA was doing bad, we'd say the same thing. THAT'S why.

I still don't understand. It's not Batum's choice that he's injured. It's not Batum's choice that he's playing. Unless you think Batum's not trying to play well, what more do you expect him to try to do?

No. Not at all. No one is calling RoLo a big pussy for sitting right now. No one is calling for Freeland's head for daring to sit up b/c his wittle shoulder feews a wittle ouchie. If Batum was like "I can't shoot, guys, sorry...gotta sit for a bit", you'd hear something from the board like

Firstly, I don't believe that people would be OK at all. Secondly, Stotts knows Batum can't shoot well, and has still decided to play him. This is on Stotts not Batum.

It's more the fact that he doesn't reward players with consistent time. And keeps starting Batum when it's CLEAR... CLEAR he's a liability. The coach is supposed to do what's best for the team, and he isn't. Not even close. He doesn't have a say in the GM stuff, so I can't blame that... but all this... yes.
 
Riverman- the players are sucking as much as this thread. It's close.

Why wouldn't they be? When has any Blazer been crapped on for being injured?!

It IS batum's choice to play. AND it's BOTH their faults. Not one or the other. End of story.
 
Hell, we still have people that defend Derek Anderson's "toothache"

Actually Batum has asked out of a game when the pain got too great. He can only sit if the Coach lets him though.
 
Can we get to 40 by the half? I think so. I don't know if we can still hold them under 50.
 
I never never would have guessed that Lillard would have a slump like this. I know he will bust out of it. I just never would have thought it would be this long.

Both of their faults. Batum is a grown man, he can say if he can play or not. And stotts should be doing what's best for the team, and he's not.
