I also think it might be time they really look at if it is time to move on.
In the Pelicans series it appeared that either three things happened and two of them are on Stotts.
1.) They just don't have the Talent required to beat the Pelicans -I think that series should've been much closer than it was...
2.) Stotts got out coached - The Pelicans were giving them looks they hadn't seen before, or employing strategies the Blazers never figured out how to exploit. It appeared the Blazers were never aggressive in the series until they were out of it.
3.) Stotts had adjustments and the Blazers just weren't executing it. If the Players can't, or won't execute your game plan or in game adjustments than their is a problem with the coach not having the players attention.

I think Stotts is a good head coach, and maybe the Blazers can't find someone better than him, I feel the guy who should go is Neil Olshey more than anyone. The Blazers had some major flaws this year, that I think coaching played a part in like they were last in assists, and they seemed to have no idea how to run a fast break, that is at least partially on the coach.

All in all sometimes, you just need a breath of fresh air, not that the Blazers are the next Golden State, but a new coach made a pretty good team into a great team.
 
no comma between "coach" and "butt" really takes this thread title to new places.
 
I'm not sure if his butt is his best coaching feature.
 
I’d rather talk about Stotts abilities as a coach, however I made the mess, so I realize what I did...
LOL, just having a little fun at your expense. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Any suggestions on possible coaching candidates?

Ime Udoka (Portland ties and an assistant to Pops) Budenholzer, any chance the Blazers could talk Jay Wright out of Nova?
PS forgot to add Juwan Howard, he’s interviewing for other jobs I believe and he was part of championships in Miami.

Yeah, I saw what i did after I posted it, too late now I must now roll with it. On to judging NBA coaches assets, Thibs seems to have a lot of junk in the trunk... Guess it depends on your style.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
 
FINALLY someone is starting a thread to talk about Stotts

I doubt I’m the first. Stotts has been dealt a not great roster and done decent things with it, I just wonder if it’s time for a new coach and that Pelicans series’ was pretty freaking embarrassing.
 
Stott's butt is too passive - it just sits there.

(Just wanted to butt in with a butt joke.)
 


Draymond says we needed a third shooter in the corner and that woulda opened up our offense. Nick Young gets more defensive respect than Aminu. Was it really that simple?
 
What coaches would people rather have than Stotts? Here are mine:
1-9 Brad Stevens
10 Erik Spoelstra
Now maybe there's a coach-in-waiting who'll be the next Steve Kerr or whatever, but we can't know that. (I'd give Becky Hammon a shot - she's a Summer League Championship winner!)
