Dude might currently be one of the top 3 coaches in the NBA and is completely underrated. Year after year he compiles a 50+ win season, and although his post season record isn't great, he's changing that this year, but also his lack of post season success comes from the roster he has had to coach.

I can't imagine if Stotts actually had legit talent surrounding Lillard what he could be capable of doing. For years, Portland has failed to give Lillard the needed talent to really carry and grow with this team, the success of the Blazers since Lillard's arrival has been the magic act of Stotts and Lillard putting on a show. The front office continues to give Lillard and Stotts bench players to try and make a playoff run with.

There is still a lot of this series with OKC left, trust me, as a Portland fan this series isn't over until 0:00 is on the clock of Portland's final game, but regardless of winning or losing this series, the job Stotts has done with this team over the years is unbelievable.

I hope Portland does whatever it can do keep him in Portland. But like Lillard, if Stotts looked elsewhere I wouldn't blame him because the Blazers have completely failed in providing him and Lillard with the needed talent.

They should’ve traded McCollum for a better fit.

The Nurkic deal was a great move and the aminu contract was a bargain and a great fit for the modern nba.

They have made some good moves. DL being a sieve defensively hasn’t helped either

Enjoying maybe the last post season of the Warriors dynasty that has bored this league for half a decade.
I know, I hate dynasties in the NBA. The 90s Bulls, 80s Lakers and Celtics, Shaq-Kobe Lakers, the Heatles, all soooo boring

They are definitely capable of beating the Spurs or Nuggets winner, if they can finish OKC.

I feel like this was the year they had to make a statement and get to the WCF's. Definitely a better chance with the Rockets-W's/Clippers most likely facing off in the 2nd round.

Those dynasty's, at least the bulls were built a little differently. Wasn't an All-Star joining a 73-9 team.

Its ridiculous really. The fact the NBA blocks the Chris Paul trade to the Lakers, but allowed KD to the Warriors is odd, obviously it was different because KD was a free agent, but the blocking of Paul to LA showed the NBA doesn't want super teams like this happening.

That's why the Cavs championship was so great not just for Cavs fans but for every basketball fan. Even Lebron haters might enjoy it. The only team to defeat the W's. Kinda want that to stay like that until KD leaves, it would be a hell of a feat.

I was happy for Cleveland and LeBron, honest. I like LeBron, and Cleveland was the most cursed sports town. But it helps to have won 2-3 more titles after LOL

Playing and starting 4 years at OU definitely helped get him on his way.

NBA would never have gotten involved in the Paul trade if New Orleans ownership was stable.

They were the nba ownership at that time.

And they broke the Chinese wall in a clear conflict of interest

They are a good team. I certainly like their chances to go on a deep run in the playoff this year.
