What about if I want to praise him now? I appreciate the lack of filter, and the honesty to how he deals with the press.

Funny how so many players got worse after we changed the coachForget the injuries - this team is awful!
RoCo = truly awful
Nurkic = guy is a bum
CJ = trade this dribbling fool
Zeller = liked his play Game 1. But we’ve played 25…
Neil was rightfully fired!
defense makes good offense - so Billups is thinking correctly, he’s just got shit for a team!
wholesale changes are needed
I imagine you mean pre-preseason. Because in the preseason we were comfortably the absolute worst team in the NBA.I support Chauncey but I've lost the excitement I had preseason about team defensive improvement. Chauncey has a lot of problems to sort out as it is.
trying to share the ball more with new teammates has often led to turnovers and transition buckets for the other team....we asked our shooters to pass more who are good shooters but poor passers...that has something to do with it or the fact that playing defense or trying to is taking some lift off their legs on offense....two way players have to be iron men..we haven't been a great passing team since Andre Miller and Nic Batum were BlazersFunny how so many players got worse after we changed the coach
So the coach is asking the players to do what they can't do. Odd thing for a good coach to do - unless you're a high school coach who cares only about teaching, not winning.trying to share the ball more with new teammates has often led to turnovers and transition buckets for the other team....we asked our shooters to pass more who are good shooters but poor passers...
Shoulda' kept Stotts.
Chauncey wanted ball movement from guys who've been ISO players for almost a decade.....they have been trying to pass but learning to adapt is costing them points in the meantime. Chauncey has addressed all this stuff clearly..So the coach is asking the players to do what they can't do.

To be fair, he's just doing what he was hired to do. But the guy who hired him was fired. And the guy who whom Chauncey replaced because his defense was bad... had better defense than Chauncey.Chauncey wanted ball movement from guys who've been ISO players for almost a decade.....they have been trying to pass but learning to adapt is costing them points in the meantime.

Coaching is flat out going to take time to click with a rookie coach...plus McGowan and Olshey are gone...Chauncey has a lot of pressure coming out of the gate and I'll gladly cut him some slack given the circumstances of this team right now..he has yet to show anyone that he's an elite coach by a long stretch but he could become that...he has the vision at leastAt this point, getting the roster healthy, particularly Dame, is a much bigger factor than coaching.
Was it because of the change in coach or the humiliating loss to a disabled Nuggets team in last years playoffs that was the straw that broke the camel’s back? Most of the players saw the writing on the wall after that loss and with the circus surrounding Dame and whether he wants to stay or go it looks all the uncertainty has caught up with the players. Could Billups be better? Of course but hypothesizing that Terry Stotts could’ve done better with this roster is just pure speculation. He had clearly lost the team at the end of his tenure and no coach was going to turn that around. Not Billups. Not anyone.Funny how so many players got worse after we changed the coach
Nah, only true colors are showing…Funny how so many players got worse after we changed the coach
And Stotts at least knew how to get a great offense out of these players.
When were we ever beaten by a worse team in the playoffs? Just because we lost in the playoffs doesn't mean we did especially poorly. Even last year when Denver beat us, they were rolling coming into the playoffs even without Murray.I think Billups is trying to do something else.
Stotts "great offense" was regular season offense. George Karl. Letting Lillard and CJ play free was not that "great" in playoffs.
So I call bollocks.
I'm trying to get my head around this. So they faked being good for Stotts? I wish I could fake being good at basketball.Nah, only true colors are showing…
That's just dumb. I predicted we'd lose 4-2 to the Nuggets, and you know why? Because I looked at the way the Nuggets were playing. Of course they had a better record than us, but it wasn't just because of their play before Murray went down. They were rolling without him. Anybody "humiliated" by that is a jackass.Was it because of the change in coach or the humiliating loss to a disabled Nuggets team in last years playoffs
...especially if that rookie coach alienates half the team.Coaching is flat out going to take time to click with a rookie coach..

We lost to a team with Prime Anthony Davis and Best Perimeter Defender in the League Jrue Holiday. Horrors! The shame of it.I know you joking, ma manMy fav failure goes to NO series.

Stotts' offense was great given what he had to work with. But Phil Jackson and Gregg Poppovich combined couldn't've coached us past New Orleans.Our short discussion wasn't about if it was horror (btw, 4:0, it was), but about how great Stotts offense was.

I love your revisionist history. The Nuggets limped into the playoffs with a 3-3 record in the six games preceding the start of the playoffs - clearly “rolling” as you put it. They were also without their starting backcourt in Murray and Barton and Blazers got scorched by the perennial all-stars Campazzo and Rivers. GTFO with that garbage you’re spewing.That's just dumb.
