So far I like the decisions Stotts has made, but I still don't think he coaches Xs/Os well enough. Also, I feel like the changes he's made were obvious and should have been used from the jump.

Agreed. But this is the youngest roster in the playoffs . Not easy to implement change with this much youth.

I thought there were a couple minutes left in the half? Either way, the feel of the game in each scenario is totally different. It was the right thing to do tonight, but wrong in Game 1.

We were down 4 in game 1 when we started hacking. Down 6 when we hacked Jordan in game 2.

Same freaking scenario.
 
The Blazers were dominating the boards at both ends for much of the 1st half. Stotts was even sending Dame to get offensive boards. It's a reasonable tactic if you're clanking a lot of shots.
 
What was that illegal defense call they made and took back...
 
We have to keep it close the first 3 minutes of this quarter or else it could be a long 2nd half.

They called illegal D on Plumlee but Jordan had the ball. You can't get called for illegal D when you're guarding the guy with the ball.

They only really need to hedge on one guy: Redick. If Crawful beats you with long jumpers so be it. Can't hedge on Paul or else he's going to tear your defense apart. Live with him shooting midrange jumpers.

Then Paul will kill on the mid range game. You don't do all the time it change things up it gives them different look.
 
Griffin/DJ are getting away with just Bully/Physical play and we aren't doing anything about it. Kaman needs to pull an Andre Miller from a few years ago, if the refs aren't going to call it then find a way to get back at them.
 
Stotts did a really great job preparing them for this game, was only nerves by almost every Blazer that kept them from piling up a big lead.

only thing I didn't like was that Henderson comes in and makes his first shot (after the best game by any blazer sunday) then doesn't touch the ball for next five minutes.

Hate the Clippers more every day, why was blake griffin allowed to bulldoze on a free throw attempt by Jordan?
 
Also for the love of god we need to hit open shots, we'v had so many that looked good and just are not going down. If we keep missing the easy shots then Lillard/CJ will keep getting trapped and i'll eat my keybaord out of frustration.
 
Down 4, perfect opportunity, now down 8. Lol. Just lol. Lack of effort against a team that isn't even playing great
 
Good lord it just seems like our guys are a step slow or second guessing themselves on everything.
