Terry is not the problem.

How? We're last in the league in assists. We had 144 less assists than 29th place, who was only 125 assists behind 15th place.

How is that on the players or the talent? That's entirely on the coach. The Bulls, Nets, Hawks, and Lakers were in the top 10 with less talent. So how's talent the problem?

That assist count shows how stagnant our offense becomes, and Terrys the only one to blame for that.

This roster, while #3, was also 3 games from being out of the Playoffs completely. Just not not overly impressive to me.

Could use the same logic on every team 3-8
Unless you were GSW/Rockets this year. You were one bad stretch from being completely out of the playoffs.

Fucking amazing! He was destroying Mirotic on the block..but I guess they didn't think about that

Honest question, was Mirotic guarding Nurkic the whole series? I know Nurkic was mainly guarding Mirotic, but I honestly didn’t even notice the other end because they didn’t get him involved at all and I was too busy slamming my head into the wall after every unforced turnover.

Exactly. We're no better than Denver.

Even if it was AD, we should've been going at him trying to get him in foul trouble.

I think it’s Terry’s fault, not because he is a bad coach, but because he is spineless when it comes to hold Dame and CJ accountable... he just lets them run amuck with their ISO ball garbage and that kills the flow of his offense

Hehe, like the refs would’ve let that happen.

But it does make a difference. Nurkic vs AD isn’t as obvious of a matchup as Nurkic vs fucking Mirotic.

To me it all boils down to one thing. We are always the team that adjusts its style to the opponent, rather than them having to adjust to us. He lets the opponent dictate the game rather than imposing our style on them. And this is especially so in the playoffs. Some people say that really intelligent coaches or GMs are playing 3d chess. Well, Stotts is playing 1d chess. The pieces can only rigidly move in one direction along a singular plain.

He had his run here in Portland. But it is over.

This has always been a complaint of mine. Hate how he lets other teams dictate how the game will be played.

Another is how we NEVER blow anyone out, probably for the same reason. We just don’t impose our will.

It's smart to adjust your defense schemes to what the opponent has offensively (which Stotts doesn't do) while relying constantly on sound offensive principals (principals that don't exist under Stotts).

(not to be That Guy, but check out Opening Night.) ;)
 
we're agreeing here. I have ample posts stating (and liking, and agreeing with) that concept. I'm just saying you can't say "never" (CAPITALIZED) when we have the biggest OPening Night blowout in history...

(and the wink was supposed to lighten that up)

I wonder if Budenholzer taking his name out of the Phoenix job had anything to do with this.

He's interviewing with the Knicks. We need to get him and get him quick.
