I'm far from a coach apologist, i was on the get rid of Nate bandwagon... But who do you people thing would be realistic upgrades would be?

That's not our decision to make since, you know, we're not in the front office evaluating potential hires?

All of the good coaches that have been hired in the last few years (Hornacek, Budenholzer), not to mention guys like Thibs....were all coaches that good management sought out. No "fan" could have realistically suggested them.

It wasn't good, I don't think.

I think you're wrong. I remember CJ having some very good games while Mo was out.

Why he continues to go to LMA in the post is beyond me. It's as maddening as not having any clue about to how to play defense.

defense is a concept that he has not yet addressed

I have no idea why this struck me so funny, but I all caps LOL'd at this, but "must spread rep around" now

haha! I like it. :)

Lionel Hollins

Ooof each to their own. But IMO not an upgrade. Would love him as an assistant.

Terry has earned a few more years-- we can't fire him now. D needs massive improvement though
The offense needs a lot of work, too.

First two games, I was disappointed and impressed with the Spurs basketball. now i'm just kind of mad and stressed.

Along with the bench, yes.

I'm kind of to the point where I am beginning to wonder if getting embarrassed these games might be better for us in the long as I hope they inspire management to make moves they may not have otherwise.

With the pieces we have, the offense is as good as can be

Exactly what I was getting at with my question earlier.

Lillard is getting a VERY good education rightnow. If someone doesn't think this is going to fuel his fire then they are crazy. He just gets stronger with defeat.
Late rep for not going ballistic when I was a Dick to you earlier

we disagree, playoff games and championships are won with D, we have no concept IMO of what it takes

Aldridge is 5-12 but Lillard is worse at 3-10. Why us Aldridge to blame? He's been aggressive and has 11/6. He's also drawn some fouls.

Agreed. This could get Lillard up to that "next level" that I know he has. But, he isn't there NOW. No biggie, Jordan wasn't as good as he would end up right out of the gate, either. :P

There's no one person to blame. Everyone is playing bad and the Spurs are playing amazing. Guys are just venting.

Have you watched him this series? Lillard is the only player cable of winning us a game. To go to LMA would be to draw even - down 20 - at best.

So during halftime the only Blazer practicing was CJ and the rest of the guys were in the locker room..

Wheels going all Oprah with the rep!

You get rep, you get rep, AND you get a rep!

The Spurs are playing like a team that realizes that their window is quickly closing.

Fuel his fire? Well it would be more productive if he learned to make a tear drop shot on offense and stay in front of PGs and the other.
That could fuel a little fire in his teammates.

Nowhere did I insinuate that it's a fans decision. But me thinks it's a fair question to ask since, you know, fans aren't in the front office evaluating job security, but still are giving their opinion about that. :cheers:

There is one person you can lay a lot of blame on, and that's Stotts. Playoffs are about coaching, and he's showing he doesn't have what his team needs.
