And yet, prior to last night, the exact same record as the Blazers. Maybe Stotts isn't as bad as we think?

I just heard an EX Phoenix Sun GM on the radio this morning say that Neil and Terry are highly thought of my other executives. Of course whats going to say on PDX rad show.
Said Blazers were one the better Org's in the league.

Blazers are not even in the same category as this team

They would be a favorite in a series against us that is for sure. I do believe their roster is better constructed and if coaching matters they probably have the better coach. We look like we're playing pickup ball on both ends a lot of the time and they look like they have set plays and defenses.

That being said, we're a half game behind them which would exactly support your statement which is always going to be factually false because we're both in the same division.

Stotts seems like a good guy and Neil seems like a big enough kiss ass to be well liked around the league. If by "better" he means that our organization is better than half of the league then sure, why not but that's just not good enough for me. If better means that the employee satisfaction surveys are some of the best in the league, I'm sure he's right. If better means we have been contenders under Olshey/Stotts or look like we're headed towards contention... the guy is wrong.

Again hopefully I'm wrong and we are contenders and we do make a serious run at the title during the upcoming playoffs but it just doesn't seem likely. If it's not and we haven't been contenders during the time Olshey has been running this team... I don't see how we're one of the better organizations in the league. Eleven teams have been to the finals during the Olshey/Stotts era. I don't know the definition of better in this context but to me that means at the very least eleven organizations have done better.

Yup your absolutely right. Said that perfectly. We look like a bunch of kids just hooping at the park. Terrible run organization we have right now.

There are not many teams that suck on D but are great on O that get to the finals and win. This year could be different as the Nets have a high powered offense but near the bottom on D.
Now, a team like Utah and Clippers have solid defense and decent offense but if they O sputters in A series they could be in trouble if they come up against a team firing away with threes and pouring the O to out score their opponent.
 
Don't ya think you should start playing defense when you are down by 40? Why wait until you are down 60? Too little too late!
 
Curry and Green sat out that game. Sure looks to me like the Warriors have decided to go for another high lottery pick this year. Don't be surprised if Curry misses a lot of the remaining games

Where did this notion come that I’m a Nuggets fan? Lol..

I’m a fan of basketball and respect a good run organization. The team just knows what it’s doing

You do love that team but I know you're a Blazers fan first, just kidding around.

I second blazerkor. It's the same reason why I get on @THE HCP about "his" Lakers lol. I think any sane basketball fan recognizes that the Nugs are legit. I'd like to see Murray pick where he left off in the bubble when the playoffs start.
