I think you'll hear an announcement in Indianapolis sometime in the next few days.
 
Apparently Stotts has 2 years left on his deal...

Doesn't matter.

If he stays, there may be a boycott of the team. Lol. It won't be that drastic but it would be an absolute joke if stotts is still here to coach another game...

Would love olshey to go too, but I'm doubting that.
 
This is gonna be quick. Stotts is gonzo. Coaching lost this series, no question about it.

Our failure to defend the three did us in. Bunch of nobodies draining threes and zero adjustments. The way Denver passed the ball around the perimeter crisply left me in awe. The difference between us and them. We dribble the air out of the ball and fire up an ugly three with a couple seconds left on the shot clock.

I think we should fire Olshey and Stotts at the same time. Any players that don't like it. f em. It's a business decision. We will be luckier than hell to keep the team in Portland at this point.
 
Nate Bjorkren lost his team in Indy. Stotts is originally from the area-- he's in the Indiana bball HOF.

and Pritchard loves blazer retreads
 
I’ll give it 72 hours before he’s gone.

I really think it’s 48 hours.

Knowing this organization ........................................he’ll be back next year
 
They have had a million years to make up their mind on Stotts this season. If he's not gone within the weak, I'll seriously question what kind of juice they've been smoking.

Olshey is a harder case. I want him gone, but there are numerous reasons to think he'll still keep his job. Like someone said before, ditching Stotts is his last trump card. "Oh, it wasn't my fault, we had the right talent, we just didn't have the right coach." I think that keeps his job for at least another year. Plus, he's the one in constant contact with ownership, and he can probably sell his vision of having the right team that was used incorrectly.
 
Every single front office and coach's desk should have packing boxes stacked on them -- IDGAF -- full 10yr clean out is in order!

Blazers will follow the Celtics and announce Stotts will be the new GM and Olshey is stepping down, lol.

I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. Should be tomorrow at the latest.

How would someone get to the level that McGowan is at and not throw that trump card right back in Olshey's face and ask him, "Then why in the fuck did YOU keep the guy for NINE fucking years?"

He's not a basketball guy, and Olshey is a smooth salesman.
 
The Nuggets rattled off 11 straight points late in the fourth period to put the game away. The Blazers were outscored 28-14 in the fourth quarter. Asked about the final-quarter meltdown, Stotts played it down.

“I kind of tend to stay away from the word meltdown,” Stotts said. “Sounds a little over the top. But we didn't make some shots. They made some big plays.”

Holy fuck the firing can’t come soon enough.

What does “keeping the team in Portland” even mean? What does that have to do with anything? We have a great arena and massive fan support. Fuck the people running franchise like Olshey and Stotts sure, but leave that other stuff alone.

Literally every answer was in that same cliche ridden mess. It was a meltdown. There's not even a doubt it was a meltdown. You go into the 4th quarter of a must win game and you put up FOURTEEN points?! 7 points every 6 fucking minutes? You don't call a God damn timeout during the run?!

I just do not fucking get it. And Thank God this was last game coaching.
