Okay, I get it the Blazers made the playoffs this year, it's not like they failed this season by any means, but I am sorry this team has been underwhelming year after year, if they make it past the first round it's a shock, and who ever knows if they will even make the postseason. Nothing against Terry Stotts, but I will never consider him a true NBA head coach, he has all the passion of a hibernating bear, and the strong voice of a junior high student forced into public speaking. I understand it's difficult to coach a team to success in the Western Conference, or is it? Could it simply be that the teams that make it to the finals have the combination of good coaching and talent that it takes in any Conference, League, or Sport to succeed. This Panda is under the impression that due to a serious lack of intelligence in the front office of the Portland Trailblazers, they have provided piss poor results even with talent that could rival a good percentage of NBA teams, what is one of the Blazer's biggest weaknesses? The head coach, he is a great coach for a team like the Sixers, Timberwolves, or maybe the Knicks, but Portland wants, no needs, a championship, and they won't get that from inconsistent results, they deserve a coach that can give them a no nonsense approach to each game whether or not their stars are injured. Now where in this power driven NBA would you ever find a coach that could give you a defensive minded outlook on each and every game, fuel a thirst to succeed through thick and thin, and feed a neverending hunger to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy, oh wait didn't some idiots in Chicago just fire some guy that can do all of that?
Yes, the rumors are true, Tom Thibodeau is on the open market, and most likely is, as we speak, being interviewed to be the head coach of an NBA team. So Terry Stotts does not really deserve to lose his job, it wouldn't be the first time a Paul Allen owned team was completely crazy about firing, hiring, or general management of things usually known to be simple in the front offices of professional teams. Anyways, it is the chance of a lifetime to pick up a Coach that has never missed the Playoffs as an NBA head coach, if it weren't for LeBron this guy might have a couple rings, Terry Stotts was fired by Milwaukee of all places. If anyone can make LaMarcus stay in Portland as he will be a free agent this summer, it is Coach Thibodeau, and who better to develop Damian Lillard, than a man who helped Derrick Rose through so many injuries to come back to the player he once was.
Maybe it is just too easy as a Panda sitting here sipping on wine, munching on some bamboo to discredit these people with such prestigious jobs in the upper echelon of the NBA, though I for one sincerely doubt it, and on that note Panda out!!!
