No, you are VERY wrong. It’s about talent. “Any NBA Players”? No.

I said a great coach could have a 500 team with any NBA players...Stotts exceeded that with patched together NBA rosters ...179 different players. Chauncey will not develop a playoff roster unless they actually play in the playoffs. Dame lost with this coach and now he's gone. Go figure. As a lifelong fan, I'm really not happy with the lack of progress under Chauncey and I'm getting crankier in my old age.

Loved what Stotts did with our team. Always outperforming! BUT, he’s gone. Chauncy can’t develop a “playoff roster” until he is handed “playoff talent” FAMS!

You don't get playoff talent without being in the playoffs....ask Mo Harkless, Chief and Enes Kanter

Stop. You ain’t winning this one old man. Don’t care what coach it is…..if you don’t have the talent you ain’t winning games, that’s it. If you don’t have the fastest car in F1, you ain’t winning, that’s it.

so when are you going to inform these 15 guys that they don't have any talent? I didn't say they were championship contenders, I said good coaching would get them in the playoffs playing 500 ball. Don't get it twisted young whippersnapper!

I don't think we're getting to 23 this season. I think we'll trade away at least Jerami and Malcolm at the trade deadline but maybe also Ant for picks and prospects. I think at that point we'll be around 10 wins and I doubt we'll get many more than 6 more wins for the remainder of the season.

They won't trade Ant anytime soon. I suspect Brogdon is gone by this trade deadline. I doubt Jerami will be traded soon either, because we don't really have a prospect to replace him with.
 
So this is what the team looks like after Chauncey's emergency practice? That was the worst we've played all year. I'm ready for Scotty Brooks.
 
I think, at a minimum he needs to get Simons engaged again. He seems to go full iso in one game and then the next he is told to be a distributor and so he does nothing on offense. He seems disengaged lately and it is carrying over to his already bad defense.

Ant's primary talent is shooting and shooters not only have off-nights, they can have off-nights for several games in a row before they get back in a groove. Ant's been better at distributing this season, but like CJ, most of Ant's passing are mostly safe passes on the perimeter. Those don't usually force a defense to adjust. And now, Scoot is back in the starting lineup shifting Ant back to SG, and putting Sharpe on the bench. win-lose-lose. Scoot actually tries to break down a defense by dibble-drives and passing off of penetration. He's not good at it yet but he's improving

I just don't see how Ant & Sharpe can co-exist long term as SG1 and SG2. And Portland is so bad that they shouldn't even try to differentiate between long-term and short-term.
 
I knew this team would lose but I expected to see improvement and instead they regressed. Not long ago people talked about Scoot and Shae as next Porter and Drexler, now they are considered more Steve Blake and Juan Dixon. Why isn't coaching making them better?

Chauncy isn't going to get that opportunity, IMO.

So why do they run the F1 races if it's completely about the fastest car?

Dumb analogy.
 
I can handle losing close games and OT games but these blowouts and 4th qtr droughts are becoming the identity of the team. It's time for a new coach.

And the years Stotts wasn't given a playoff talent roster, they under performed. So weird, having a decent roster makes a difference.

Who with any common sense about the game of basketball and the NBA, could not expect us to get completely blasted this season? I said 23 wins and a TON of ass whoopins!

this team was playing hard to start the year. This team was advertised as a young hustle squad. They might not win, but they'll maximize their exciting athleticism and put on a show.

Why do opponents look like they have so many more superior athletes? Was it false advertising by the Front Office?

Blazer fans can accept beat downs if the team can't shoot, and makes a lot of "new team" mistakes. What's happening during this road trip is complete meltdown from lack of effort, and horribly designed offensive sets that breed easy easy transition baskets for opponents.

This team almost looks like they're being coached into failure. It might be a better option to get rid of all the Coaches, and let the players figure things out by themselves. They certainly wouldn't look any worse.
 
This is already a dead season so unless there is a candidate who is jobless you might as well wait unless keeping Billups will harm the growth of the players and not sure that can be argued at this point. I would not be against a Billups firing if they just handed the reigns to Scott Brooks and said we will see what happens with a new voice but not something that HAS to happen.

Brooks would probably be gone along with him and Herscu would take over the reigns
 
I'm not happy with Billups at all this season(or the previous ones), but I wouldn't fire him mid-season. I don't want chaos in Scoot's rookie year. Well, more chaos than this disaster of a season. Rather he hear a consistent voice his rookie year, and then we assess in the off season.

Okay but hear me out…Why not just speed track that and fire Chauncey immediately, make whoever replaces him in the interim the consistent voice he hears for the rest of his rookie year.

F1 tracks are different so in normal years, best car might be different between events.

Also, F1 is a development race, the cars change significantly during the year.

Last season McLaren started as the 9th or 10th fastest car, finished with the 2nd or 3rd fastest.

The beauty of F1 is that it's both an athletic and engineering sport

Because they likely don't keep the interim, so then it's 3 voices within his first year basically.
