OT Why did Stotts step down?

[PtldPlatypus]

Man that would of been a shame.

I'mma moderate the hell outta both y'all...

Damn, yeah I’d be pretty ticked off too if some new guy started bossing me around even though I have ten years of experience on him.

Understand the sentiment here.

But there is a giant gulf between good and great. Just because someone is good and has experience (Stotts) doesn't mean they know how to be great.
We'll see if Griffin has that ability or not.

All things being equal, I would MUCH rather have someone with very little experience and the inclination to be great... than someone with a lot of experience being 'good'.

Pulling it back to Portland - that is why I was good with Stotts being fired. Chauncey said the right things to begin with. I'm not sure he knows how to be a great coach. I think he's sort of has an 'old man - get off my lawn' type mindset. He says he knows what it takes to win in this league -> but I think he's still playing the game like 20-years ago.

No but one of my favorites, owner's a big blazer fan. Has a Rip City wrap.

Stotts was always bad at handling offense through double teams. I heard OKC was blitzing Dame, and the Bucks melted down like gummy bears by a space heater.

Coaches yelling at Practice ??
I don't believe Shams at all, that guys a snake.
But a disagreement with Stotts on providing a killer offense through double teams I do believe.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Dame found Mrs. HCP’s phone number in Terry’s contacts, and Dame got jealous?

(Do I win the awful joke of the year award?)

FIFY

Imagine, if somebody somewhere is posting in a forum after reading something from the jinx Speed guy and saying, “hey, the Blazers forum says this!”

good lord

Interesting that in the Athletic article, Lillard doesn’t say why Stotts is leaving, even though Stotts must have told him.

Fair enough. I'm full of empty threats

I've been more cautious about sharing it publicly for fear of it getting shut down.

I use it all the time. There is simply no way to subscribe to all news sources. They need to come up with something better.

Until then... That's a hell of a solution.

I read that Morey had hired Olshey way back in June so it's not connected to Terry leaving the Bucks by any stretch...also why would he want to work with the guy who fired him anyway?

You'd expect something different? That is Stotts story to tell. Dame is only saying how he was impacted which is his part of the story.

In 2019 around the end of October, we stayed in Milwaukie a total of 10 days. It was no clouds and blue skies throughout our stay and only drizzled at night.

It was lovely!

Stotts didn't need to tell Dame why. Dame ordered the Bucks to get rid of Stotts himself, just like he did with the Blazers.

That's the story I just made up, and I'm sticking to it.

Stotts has a championship ring AS AN ASSISTANT COACH. How can you get better than that?

KOC says Griffin yelled at Stotts and that was it.

I root for Dame but I hope griffin fails and stotts replaces him

[Propagandist]

I’m sure you talked to Terry a bunch. He seemed so nice and very calm in interviews and on the sidelines, like the kind of guy who would have to be pretty offended to quit. Is that an accurate portrayal?

 

[blazerfan11]

Stotts thought he was working in Milwaukie. Imagine his surprise when he found out it was Milwaukee.

It was either the sought-after spot with Mixed Nuts, or the Bucks.

Looks like Mixed Nuts won out in the end.
