Pretty much what i called on the pregame. 3-3 on the road trip not too bad really but this month is going to be tough.
 
We could move into the 6th spot tomorrow. Dallas plays the clippers at home and I don't think they win that game. Houston will probably lose to Toronto tonight. Dallas lost to Denver tonight. Memphis lost but I don't think that matters, I think highest we could get is 6th

Everyone has noticed, if we lose you think its all Stotts fault and when we win its also his fault for something he didn't do.

When we win, it's all his fault?

Umm, no. When we win, it's usually because Dame carries us, CJ plays well, and the bench functions as one unit. Not because of Stotts.

Get the next one! Drummond is a beast! Detroit has our number this season.

Yeah, the number 1 play in basketball. Simple pick and roll at the top of they key. We are still flummoxed by it.
 
I like Blazer games better when they win.

Losing sucks.

Let's get the next one!

Considering we started 3-0, I'm not happy.

Oh yea I def agree. Mind you Chicago had no rose or butler, Indiana was missing their 2nd best player, and New York is just trash.

1 win between Boston, Toronto, or DET would have cemented what the hype has been saying about this team but in my opinion it just shows you we're nothing against playoff teams and losing the lottery pick is pointless
 
Bad news is, we still have to play the Warriors two more times. Okc two more times. Spurs one more time. Two Dallas games which will be important.

yea I wrote that wrong, meant to say when we win you also have a problem with something he did in the win. Simply saying it seems like Stotts can do no right in your book.

Yep this needs to be hammered into our heads that the playoffs aren't a lock and if we want to smell the post season to step it the fuck up.

Scouting report if you are playing against the Trail Blazers: Run pick and roll every play.

And defend Lillard with your SF because Aminu can't do shit about it. Plus double Dame on pick and rolls because the only big who can score outside of 5 feet is the doofy guy who's afraid to shoot half the time.
 
Another game which shows how vulnerable we can be when the defensive intensity ramps up.

Good job getting to the line and making them though.

It's not that he can't do anything right. It's that he's not as good as 95% of you and the league thinks he is.
 
Last 3 games points allowed: 116, 117, and 123 to the offensively challenged Pistons. Not gonna win too many games with matador defence like that.

This is why kjironman was right and that by the end of March we will be scouting draft picks

Trust me it'll be for the better this season was already a success

I'd really like to see Stotts start pulling players when they pass up open shots when the opponents D starts ramping up.

We really need to upgrade our bigs this summer but not sure who is available that would really be worth it. Might be something we wait another year to do.

Right now, I wouldn't even be opposed to bringing in Howard or Griffin with all of their dirty laundry.

Howard would be worth it if he plays like Howard in the post season and gives us okay production for 60 more games but him breaking down even further is a real possibility and scares the hell out of me. Griffin would be a nice upgrade offensively but does nothing to really help defensively. If we want to spend big money I like Horford but i'm also afraid of blowing our load on like Parsons/Hordford and only being a perennial 6-8 seed.

So you are saying your opinion means more than all of us and 95% of the league? Stotts may very well be in the running for COY AGAIN this year.
 
Worst case scenario we close out the season terribly and are out of the playoffs. Either way this season is still a success to me. We lost 4 of 5 starters, damian plays and acts like the leader we wanted and didn't get out of that one fuck face. I feel like he's really improved his game. We used to question whether he could take that next level in his game and I think he definitely has and he can only get better. Let's face it, if we did make the playoffs we would probably get smoked. Compete but get smoked or who knows maybe not. I still say we make the playoffs, I don't think the Jazz have it this year. Good team but they don't have that star player.

We really really need a legit big this season, I hope Neil works some sort of magic in the off season given the fact we can never get free agents but hopefully players will see what we are doing here and want to join. What big wouldn't want to play with a pg like dame?

I really think Meyers needs to go. Let him go. He has shown in a few games this season he can hit shots but he's just not consistent, he's hesistant all the time. We gave him enough time to prove himself. I don't know what's going on with crabbe, he used to be so reliable, don't know if it's a slump but I also don't wanna take a chance with him if he continues to play out the rest of the season like him. I wish we could get a demar derozan. I wish we had a Drummond. I wish boogie was a free agent this summer. Whiteside? I mean who knows, everybody has been saying al horford but I'm not feeling it.
 
I don't know about parsons either. He's had a lot of injuries I feel like the last two years. Anything with injury prone and Portland don't really mix. Lol

Still gonna hold onto some hope they play well and make the playoffs. But there is a guy on here who shall remain nameless that thinks they can win a championship this year. Making the playoffs will be tough enough. Remember they do end the season with a really nice run of home cookin.
 
Remember Miami doesn't have bird rights on whiteside and whiteside is a monster. People don't wanna take chances on him though just because he has shown to be a head case at times
