Good finish to the half. Still in it if we wake up and start playing better.

Kind of hope they let Stotts play his contract out. Let the team get older and add some pieces. But see if he can get past the first round next year.

That's if we don't this year.

I'll be happy if he doesn't choke away any games with stupid rotations and dumbass last-second fails.

He needs to....if he can hit all the shots GE missed in the first half and we play the way we have we will win
 
Great call by Stotts to foul Jordan. I wondered why they hadn't shot by 31 on the clock.

My point is, it's just a strategy. Like all strategies, it's not guaranteed to work. 4 point swing for the Clippers last game. 4 point swing for the Blazers this game. Just depends on what you think is more likely to happen.
 
Like the effort! We could steal one here tonight is we keep this up for 2 more qtrs

I think the way they were used is drastically different - in Game 1 it was just plain stupid, way too early, Clips rolling with confidence AND we had Ed in the game so they could retaliate. Tonight, closing out the half after semi-rattling the Clippers for the first time, it was obviously a good time to test DJ.

We hacked them at the same time in the 2nd quarter. The only difference was Ed was in the game.

Hack a Jordan already, huh?

I hate you Stotts.

Were only down 4 and our backcourt isn't playing well, the refs are fucking us, and our bench has barely produced anything. If one or two of those things swings our way, we'll win, and we will have the advantage in the series.
 
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.
 
We are more physical tonight and we not backing down from them way to man guys. But what I don't like the player that gets screen quit on the play. Stotts has to hedge some times on those screen just to keep them off balance. But over all beside bad shooting we look better.

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.

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.

Kaman has changed the dynamic...confused the clips...problem was he confused us to, but it's all good

Why he wasn't integrated into the rotation during the last month of the season is beyond me.
