In your opinion, was Lillard's performance in Game 5 the best ever in an NBA Playoff game?

Unfortunately, I don't think the league will allow it to be announced until the end of the playoffs. Don't want to take the focus off the games.

It's a formality.

But this team will be unrecognizable.

Honestly, I think this was Lillard's last game as a Blazer. Hate to say it, but I'm looking at all the likely changes on this team, and this isn't going to be a retooling. This will be a major rebuild. He deserves better than to be part of the mess the next couple of years are probably going to be.
Danny Ainge just quit and Stevens got promoted to front office. They didn't have to wait.

Fuck that non-challenge on the Jokic 3 feels like the real difference in this game. Huge momentum swing after that.
 
I'm so mad right now! CJ... GTFOH!:angry:

Even IF we still didn't win the series, Dame/game 5 was ours. Some say (& I get it), Dame's to blame for Cj being around; I'm not 1 of those ppl. Cj's been here WWWWAAAAYYYY too long. I've never been big on Cj (he's definitely exceeded all the expectations I've ever had for him) but I've never wanted to say too much negative about him in case too much word got back to him (aka I'm sure no 1 would care IF I was the only 1 typing but I just didn't want to add too much to the let's shit on Cj pile:tongue2:) on too many fans not being a fan/supportive of him. I've always been in the trade Cj early on (especially when his value was high/@ it's highest) camp; obviously his value not the highest now but whatever we can get for him, let's get it/them.

Stotts slit his own throat by not challenging the Nurk foul on the Jokic 3.

If that gets overturned, Nurk has 2 fouls, it's still, what, a 13-point lead, we have a chance to step on their throats.

Give them free points and the foul on Nurk? That's the move of a guy that doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach. There was a lot of criticism about him, but, in the end, to give that away when you have a chance to blow the game open, it's gutless. You can't have a gutless coach.

Its the perfect end for his tenure in Portland. Went out the way he likes, like a bitch.

it's not gutless, its fucking idiotic. the guy has no BBIQ, and no common sense. so out of his depth as a head coach. He needs to thank his lucky stars Dame is here to save his ass year in and year out
 
Who will take cj?
After the performance in this year’s playoffs? I doubt there will be a robust market for him. This is the ultimate sell low proposition so the Blazers may only get 50 cents on the dollar in value. Good riddance in my opinion. Just completely stunk it up after expressly stating in Tuesday’s presser that he would “be better” in tonight’s game.
 
That's right. But they weren't fired, were they?

Maybe Stotts resigns.

What I mean by that is moves can be made after a team loses.

When NFL teams are done with a season, they call it black Monday. Lol. They fire coaches every year the day after their season is over.

It can be both gutless and idiotic. I think gutless is worse, because it's knowing what to do and still being afraid to do it.
 
Stotts not challenging the jokic foul changed everything and the team went fucking cold.
Yes but lets be real. Had we won and also win game 7 we are toast against suns or lakers. If we were by miracle to advance to WCF because Dame went supernova that would give stotts another contract. This team had a bacterial infection that was spreading eating Dames prime up. It has to be amputated. Finally stotts is getting amputated.

Thats what I predict, he'll work a deal to resign then hire on somewhere else. Still think it will be Wiz.
 
Defending Stotts til the bitter end. I love it. I’m sure you’ll be crushed when that sack of shit gets fired in the next week.

I’m not defending Stotts. I don’t mind a coaching change or much better a GM change. Stating a fact. Stotts didn’t foul two 3 point shooters did he. No. Among many other stupid plays.
 
i know that i will be banned for this. I do not care anymore. The key moment was Stotts mistake to not challenge nurks foul where Jokic scored three fts. That was the KEY moment in this match.

I will now be true balkan fan who say this when hates somebody. Mr Stotts i f.ck you, your complete close and wide family who are 21 and older. I wish you very worst things in your life. I wish to never ever see your stupid ugly brainles face anywhere on tv either in Portland or anywhere else. You are the most ugly person i have ever watched. You are the reason why i will not watch the rest of the playoffs, i cant watch basketball because of you. Go f.ck away from Portland, from Dame and take your fucking cj with you. Change the job. If you can find anything with that brainles, stupid and ugly face. If you read this or anybody show you, i will repeat: F.ck you, your complete family older than 21 ( including 21).
 
This is going to make me so happy. Itll be the 2nd best highlight of the year Blazers wise.

So thankful he won't be known as the winningest coach in franchise history cause that would have been a God damn joke.
Road the coattails of one the greatest PG's of this generation and managed to underachieve. Make no mistake, that's why he has so many wins.
