Did I REALLY need to use green font.....???

I don't care whether it was sarcastic or not, it was a good idea!

I'm telling you. If Olshey doesn't find a hot-shooting SF this summer, then Denny and Sly will just have to go.

 

[riverman]

That wasn't the error.

are you a post professor correcting homework?

I'm not correcting, there was just a glaring omission you didn't present in your case, and I was hoping you'd find it.

 

[EGame]

I shouldn't be considered a guy who defends every decision a coach makes...but I know for a fact Stotts has a better handle on the roster than any poster around here....respect is what I call it.

Disagree wholeheartedly. A superstar is carrying this team to victories and making them look good. Its pretty much similar to Lebron and the Cavs. Lue is not a good coach and once Bron leaves them next year they will be bottom feeders. Same would be the case for us because Stotts is not a good coach and wouldn't be able to do much without riding a superstar.

 

[Strenuus]

OKAY OKAY OKAY

Here's the MOST positive thing to take out of anything right now.

There are no LA teams in the playoffs!

LETS CELEBRATE!

They should sign me I played college ball so obviously I'm a basketball wizard genius.

if you have an opinion...just say it..

Baldwin wouldn’t have even played if not for Dames injury. Did he look like a guy that shouldn’t be playing to you?

 

[riverman]

Disagree wholeheartedly.

fair enough...I happen to really like Stotts and his process..

I’m done with the “shit”. You don’t handle criticism (constructive or otherwise) worth beans. You’re the frickin’ expert based on a year of playing community college ball and the rest of us don’t know squat. You’re always calling others out but you can’t handle being called out yourself. Thanks for making this a fun place to come to.

Just try to keep the comments about the posts not the poster.

I wasn't at practice...film sessions or in the locker room...have no idea why he didn't play tonight but I'm sure the coaching staff did....I actually trust the development and coaching the Blazers have...also the medical staff..lots to cheer for from my view...ask Dame or Ed Davis about Stotts sometimes...they tend to agree with me

I posted about aminu and 3 people immediately started posting about me.....go figure

Have you asked Dame or Ed Davis personally what they think of stotts... off camera and off the record? Because we'll never get a true answer otherwise.

Lol.

Dame has never played for another coach so he doesn't have anything to compare Stotts to. I don't remember who the LAL coach was when Davis was there, but I can assume he sucked. Forgive me if I don't put any weight in their opinions on the matter.

Coaches fuck up, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad coaches.

 

[riverman]

Lol.

truth Bones...all I did was talk basketball...

 

[H.C.]

Got some. How do I put it.
Fact spinners in this thread atm.
I only caught what was said on the first few posts of page 48.
Aint going to go back and read the rest of them.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I think Baldwin should play because:
1.) He defends well
2.) He wants to attack the paint over settling for jumpshots
3.) He moves the ball well.

That's just my opinion. Don't yell at me!

I second this! More Baldwin please. He's easily the superior player between him and Connaughton. Fuck your loyalty, Terry Stotts. Play the guys who can best put us in position to win. Wade does that more than Pat.

 

[TBpup]

Coaches have their favorites or get stuck in a rut. It's why Jermaine O'Neal didn't get time and then went and tore it up elsewhere. And it's not like a guy can't come out of the G-League or D-League in the past and make an impact. Anyone remember Billy Ray Bates?

 

[kjironman1]

It's like the same 5 people putting all their woes on Baldwin not playing more.
C'mon now they guy did play some good defense for a stretch. Then he did make a couple shots. But he also got schooled by Ginobili. So it's not like he is gonna get minutes before the rotational guys that have been there all season. He needs to be used i agree but it's like these same people want him playing 20-25 mins a game.

 

[BonesJones]

Sorry, I won't argue with you. That's the type of stuff you dislike, right?

 

[JDC]

Lol at those who think they know what goes on in team meetings and who Stotts calls and doesn't call out.

And don't cite post game interviews with the media and an article or two about Nurk. That ain't shit.

Hell, CJ said it himself in his sit down with Chris Haynes that Sotts hates some of the things he does and would like to see him continue to better balance his creativity and playing within the team concept.

No joke, what does Pat do that Baldwin doesn’t? You can maybe say he’s a better shooter but he can’t get open to save his life and averages like 2 attempts a game.

Uuhhh... did you not watch the fourth quarter? Did you not see the schooling Ginobili did on the entire Blazers team? Was that worse or the two fouls Baldwin committed? I'll take the latter.

Schooled by Ginobili lmfao get outta here.

And has been shooting under 30% since the start of December.

It’s ok he’ll turn it around, he’s proven.
